Why are the most popular online games still written in Flash?

Hi all,
I am not a Java expert, but I notice that at http://www.miniclip.com and similar sites, most of the popular games are written in Flash. Why is this? Is it because of Flash's IDE? Or is there some other reason?
If it is an IDE issue: Is there any Java IDE that makes basic Java game development as easy as basic Flash game development (drag-and-drop simple)?
Regards,
Jason

popular doesnt mean quality. flash games generally suck IMO
not to mention flash is easy as hell. any 14 year old with Limewire can manage to make half-decent flash movies with very basic ActionScript.
even a few pro-made Flash games suck.. you can only do so much with vector-based graphics >_> (and let's not forget how SLOOOW the Flash interpreter is..)
java requires actual programming knowledge - far beyond ActionScript's syntax. thus there are less people willing to put forth the effort really.

  • Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g!

    Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g! I just want to know.

    Once I find the game i will truly screenshot that it states "not compatible for these models". I just find it RIDICULOUS that my iPod touch is in good condition and some of the applications that I want download sometimes are not compatible with my iPod touch 4g. I am not going to buy an ipod 5th generation if my 4g is still going strong since the year of 2010.

  • HT5621 I am being prompted for the questions for my apple ID. I have put what I think are the answers and it is still not letting me purchase games from my account. I try to send the answers to my e-mail and I am not getting them.

    I am being prompted for the questions for my apple ID. I have put what I think are the answers and it is still not letting me purchase games from my account. I try to send the answers to my e-mail and I am not getting them.  I had account issues about a year ago where my id was spelled wrong. Could this be associated with that?

  • HT204370 Why are movies excluded from iCloud?  They are the most expensive purchase from iTunes and just as valuable and important to be able to access anywhere from any device?

    They are the most expensive purchase from iTunes and just as valuable and important to be able to access anywhere from any device?  I find it so frustrating that first I had to purchase iWorks for my Mac, then I had to purchase it all over again for my IOS device so I could use iCloud, then I purchase thousands of dollars of movies and am not able to store them in the cloud, yet we have only purchased the rights to the songs no differently than we have the movies.  Why would they exclude movies from icloud?

    They are not part of icloud in all countries, becuase the movie industry in those copuntries does not allow Apple to offer this.

    It may be in the process of making room.  What version of OSX are you on?    (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network;  Lion has improved it greatly.)
    A clue may be lurking in your logs.  Use the widget in #A1 of  Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs.   That should help you figure out what's going on.  If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
    If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.

  • Why is the Good Wife latest episode still not available on Itunes Canada?

    why is the Good Wife latest episode still not available on Itunes Canada?

    FYI, the two episodes currently missing from iTunes Canada (Nov 17 "The Next Month" and Nov 24 "Whack-a-Mole") are available online for Global TV "subscribers":
    http://www.globaltv.com/thegoodwife/
    None of us are realy "Global TV subscribers", we are customers of one TV service provider or another, aka cable and satellite companies. Alas, I am in the situation where my service provider - Bell TV - has apparently not yet reached an agreement with Global, so I am hooped twice. I paid iTunes for a season pass that seems to have stopped delvering content. And I pay Bell TV for content which Global says I can only get in online form once Global and Bell reach some kind of agreement, although Shaw, Telus and Cogeco subscribers are already receiving it.

    Be nice if these companies could get their acts together, especially Apple iTunes.
    I've paid them $49.99 for the Good Wife season pass.

  • Why are the apps on my IPad scattered across the whole thing and when I open them they turn to little rectangles in the corner of the screen and I can't even use them or tap on anything. Also when I turn my iPad it doesn't flip the screen over

    Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian

  • What are the most important functions you cannot bypass in acrobat?

    I would like to know what are the most important functionalities that we can not bypass in Acrobat? What makes Acrobat more worthy than other PDF reader/editor?
    Personally, I notice that Acrobat (adobe products in general) takes longtime to install or uninstall. I don't find a striking feautre in Acrobat compared with other software!
    Worse, Acrobat doesn't support Multiple document interface! So, I don't know why I should pays for Adobe while other free PDF viewer/reader offer this great feature!
    Adobe does like Microsoft was doing long time ago in ignoring people opinions! I don't understand why adobe persists not to include MDI (Multiple Document Interface) at least as optional feature?
    Thanks

    The MDI issue is caused by following Windows User Interface Guidelines. Complain to Microsoft. As to what functionality is most important. The most important is creating problem free pdfs. The other things I find important are the form related capabilities, preflight, pdf optimizer and redaction.

  • Why are the CAPTIONS displayed smack across everyone's face?

    Why are the CAPTIONS displayed smack across everyone's face on the screen???  I need the captions to HEAR better but I still want to SEE the show.  When the text is displayed across everyone's eyeballs it's very disruptive.  And I want ONE BUTTON on my remote to turn captions on/off; from a user perspective it is unnecessary to go through the menu settings everytime.  Take a stand and do something about improving CAPTIONS!!!

    The CC text is on the bottom third of the screen.  I don't understand the problem.  *shrugs*
    Actually when I first replied, I checked the CC on the channel I was on and it was in the 'face' position the OP complained about.  Now checked here on recording of Sprint Cup qualifying and it's at the bottom.  Looks like some are not in the bottom 1/3 of the screen.

  • TS4337 Why are the colors for my calendar reseting to a color I never chose?

    Why are the colors for my calendar in iCal reseting to a color I never chose?  It won't stay blue when I choose that color and keeps changing to a custom lavendar color on its own....  Incredibly annoying...

    There doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all answer, because what works for one printer doesn't necessarily work for another, and I don't have your printer so I can't advise on specifics...
    However, perhaps we can discover a set of settings that will work...
    If you File - Print, choose Photoshop Manages Colors, in the Printer Profile section do you see profiles specific to your printer (e.g., with the name Kodak in them)?
    If so, choose one of them that seems appropriate given the paper you're using.
    If not, try choosing sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    Now, before you continue, press the [Print Settings...] button.  This brings up the printer driver dialog.  You may have to go through [Advanced] buttons or whatever, but what you're looking to do here is to disable the printer driver's color management logic.  In other words, if you can find a color-management / ICC profile handling section, set it to "no color management" or equivalent.  OK back out to Photoshop's print dialog, then press [Print].
    The key here is that if Photoshop manages the color transforms, the printer driver should not be set to do so - or vice versa.
    If you're presented with the printer driver's dialog again, double check that the settings you chose above are still set, for good measure, and try a test print.

  • Why are the shut down times so various

    why are the shut down times so various

    Then again, it could be completely abnormal.
    I found that after updating to 10.8.2, from 10.8.1, that my shutdown times went from a solid 3-4 seconds, to a wide array. For the most part, it takes an average of 14-20 seconds on 10.8.2 (with an rare occasional 3-4 second shutdown).
    I have performed an erasure, and restore to 10.8.1 to alleviate it (kinda bummed, because I do like some of the new features of 10.8.2).
    I then cloned the 10.8.1 install to an external Thunderbolt SSD, and then updated that drive to 10.8.2. Shutdown problem is then evident on that drive (even in safe mode, with no startup items running).
    After looking at the console logs, there appears to be a OS component that is hanging. Hopefully 10.8.3 will address it, as I find many others are seeing the same thing (as well as the hanging OS component in their system log).
