Sure, but that's stupid because Flash is available just about everywhere that is, if not more available... and if you're using Flash, you might as well do the whole thing in Flash. At least you only have one buggy platform to code against, rather than the gigantic set of all relevant browsers, versions of browsers, sound- playing-plugins, and platforms. > It would not be so hard if there was an IDE like flash, but then you > get into all the browser incompatabilites and you'd probably want to > rip your pubic hair out or something by the time you got done. I'm not a fan of the Flash IDE for doing anything sufficiently complicated.. MTASC is pretty nice though. You can get a pretty good develop/test/run cycle if you set up a web server to fork out MTASC when your actionscript changes. The Flash IDE and player's debugging capabilities blow chunks, but they're no worse than those available for JavaScript implementations. Plus since you have LocalConnection you can do out- of-process debugging with something like XTrace. Granted you could probably do something like that with sync XMLHttpRequest with some kind of specialized server, but I haven't seen that. There probably aren't too many genre of games that make sense in the context of AJAX. However, I'm a huge fan of both ironsudoku.com and playbabble.com -- they're very well done, have excellent usability and browser compatibility, and I can't imagine them being any better given a different choice of technology. -bob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MochiKit" group.
