Why the death of Flash hasn t meant the death of browser games

By John O'Sullivan Last updated May 24, 2021 0 Share When Adobe announced that they were cancelling Flash, the world was shocked and concerned about what would replace it and how our daily computing would be affected. Since its release in 1996, Flash Player had become one of the essential multimedia viewing platforms. The platform was, however, consistently plagued with security issues.

Flash was so popular and had so many users that it was a constant target for hackers, a problem that Adobe could not control or adequately protect against. This led to constant security updates and compatibility issues. One sector that was particularly concerned about the ending of Flash was browser games.

History of Flash browser games Although Flash was initially intended to only be used as a multimedia viewing platform, once it had a programming language, it could be used for more varied purposes. The most interesting of these was the creation of browser games. Browser games are simpler than traditional PC or console games and have more in common with mobile games.

Perhaps this similarity is why browser games have survived the loss of Flash – people enjoy having a basic game to play when they have a few spare minutes (or need a little procrastination break from work!). Since browser games do not require space on your hard drive, they can be played on even very basic systems and do not demand the elaborate gaming setups that most modern games require. The majority of Flash browser games were created by independent designers and programmers who didn’t have the support of a large studio behind them.

As recouping the costs traditionally associated with releasing a video game through a studio was not a factor, designers could make anything they wanted. Since there was no financial element to these games, they were incredibly accessible. Games would be posted on multiple websites and were easy to find.

HTML5 is actually composed of three types of code: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The three work together to structure, present and activate web content. The most important difference between HTML5 and Adobe Flash, however, is that it is integrated into the web pages themselves and doesn’t require a plugin or software download in order to function.

This removes the need for frequent updates and eliminates the security risks that Adobe was constantly fighting with Flash. Game designers have been quick to make use of HTML5. A quick glance at the variety of games offered at www.skycitycasino.com show that the legacy of Flash is alive and well and that HTML5 is a great replacement.

Where to play browser games The time between the announcement that Flash was being abandoned and its actual demise was long enough that game designers and browser game libraries were able to plan accordingly. For some, this meant developing new games using the alternative formats, finding ways to rerelease old games or creating plugins or software that mimicked Flash and allowed for continued play.

Newgrounds and Kongregate both have large libraries and have been mostly successful in navigating the transition from Flash to its alternatives, though both still do have unplayable games in their libraries. Even though we all became a little frustrated sometimes with what felt like constant and unnecessary updates, Flash will be fondly remembered and never forgotten. It was an important part of the internet and provided many young game developers with a way to make their game ideas a reality.
