Dont get me wrong, I have a Android smartphone and i can tell you that flash over android is like a elephant walking on a string. | |
| Jan 14, 2012 at 15:27 | comment | added | NemoStein | @Gtoknu, I don't need to search youtube for that matter, I'm a flash game developer and do my own benchmark. Adobe didn't discontinued flash for android. It discontinued Flash Player for mobile browser. And yes, there is Flash for iOS, under captive runtime. | |
| Jan 13, 2012 at 22:11 | comment | added | Gustavo Maciel | @NemoStein Try to search over youtube some flash running in mobiles. Also, adobe discontinued his development of flash to android, and there's no flash for iOS. | |

| Jan 12, 2012 at 22:29 | comment | added | Gustavo Maciel | And take care about mobile gaming, flash and mobiles are such a poor combination. | |

| Mar 3, 2011 at 9:36 | comment | added | bummzack | Flash is probably a good choice, since there are very good (mature) tools and libraries for flash out there. The Molehill API will take a heavy load off the CPU (previously everything was handled by the CPU). You have to think about distribution of your game though. Flash usually means a browser-based game... | |
