Hi, I am putting together a quote for a client who needs to have a number of games developed for a DVD. I am new to games dev and running Flash from disks so my questions are now:
Are there any special issues relating to putting (existing) games onto disks? How would we keep high scores, etc. Can Flash write to disks when run from a DVD? I am planning to use Zinc to run the swf in, which raises some questions regarding the needed compatibility: The interface of the thing will need to display also PDF files, something I never had to do in Flash. Is this possible and can they be displayed inside4 Flash or only opened externally with existing / installed Acrobats (or Acr. Readers)? Are there any viable alternatives to Zinc? All the above *needs* to run on Win 98, XP and Vista, and the client would be in 7th heaven if we can get it to work on Mac and Linux OSs. Are there any issues we could encounter or reasons why this would not work/ I am thinking along the lines of players not being available for any of the above platforms, or implementing things differently on different platforms. Is there a ball park guide line how long the development of a simple 'point and shoot/avoidance' game would take under the above restrictions? I hope this is not too OT, thanks for any responses.
