Any day now HTML5 will finally be able to completely replace the functionality of Flash. Sure it's been ten years, but really, it just needs a little more time and it will do everything Flash did and more, I promise. I'm sure someone is working on it and we will have a great authoring tool, easy single file deployment and total cross platform compatibility. It could happen any day now. I mean all those people who said HTML5 would replace Flash couldn't have been wrong for ten years, right?
I'm not sure how html5 hasn't replaced flash already. But it wont' really replace flash in the right way.
People are using html5 ot play more advanced games, and the consoomers of the world will say "reeeeeee why is this game cartoony instead of photo realistic!! unplayable. no one in the world can play this game. why are you playing it!?!?!" Similar the the console fags crying about pc users having fun playing a pc exclusive liek cyberpunk
Flash did much more than just allow people to play games. Sure it did video and animation, but when the Flex framework came around, it was also able to make applications and rich user interfaces. HTML5 can do this too, but it is much more complicated to do so and there are no authoring tools/IDEs that make the process simple and efficient for non-programmers.
Flash had a great authoring tool and it could create single file packages that you could easily embed in a web page without having much technical knowledge. This let creative people build great content and the web exploded because of that fact. HTML5 doesn't give us that strong ability and non-technical creative types are locked out of the process of building content, games and applications because there is nothing to help them along. This is the main reason HTML5 has failed to deliver on the promises. No one is trying to fix this since there is no incentive for do so in the open source world.
I know flash did more than games, and I've heard about it's emergence on the internet. I was first using the internet in the early 90s. I remember all sorts of changes. I don't recall when flash came out exactly, but I think it was about when I started using the internet.
Totally. This has nothing to do with big teck trying to slander and kill what it doesnt control.
