Flash is Great August 3, 2007

Flash is quite a wonder, and I think it’s unfair to say that Flash sucks 
. It’s the way in which you use Flash that determines whether it destroys the usability on your website. For example, using Flash for navigation destroys a screen reader’s ability to help vision impaired users. That is bad. Or, introduction screens, which are a waste of user bandwidth and time.
However, Flash is great. There are just some things that should only be done in Flash. The first thing that comes to my mind is animations and cartoons. You wouldn’t want to animate a entire cartoon using Javascript and an imaginary Javascript Animation Framework (TM). Imagine going head.rotate(45), leg.slide_forward(30) for a couple of years and finally you have your animated series – totally written in Javascript. And XHTML/CSS compliant 
. If you want to see some Flash animations go to www.newgrounds.com. The amount of talent there is staggering.
You may also want to use Flash for games, or to deploy educational programs e.g. teaching students physics in an visual and interactive way. You can code a physics engine in Flash and deploy that to other Flash game developers. After all, Actionscript 3.0 has even better Object Oriented support, allowing large project to be built and managed more efficiently. Finally, Flash video/vector animation banners maybe inject some uniqueness into the increasingly homogeneous world of Web 2.0 
And who says Flash won’t improve. It is already an incredibly versatile product, more likely than not Adobe will work hard to improve its accessibility features

Tut mir leid, fuer meine sehr schlectes Deutsch! Ich bin Australiener =D

After coding away for who knows how many hours, I’ve finally come up with the BETA of “Mindflex”, which is a brain-jogging game made in Flash. Because this software is always under development, expect new features frequently. Some planned features include:
-Sound/Music
- New modules (that’s a secret ^.^)
- Worldwide results (see how you fare against others in your age group)
- Personal results (you can save your results into our database and look at them later)
- More levels of difficulty between easy and insanely difficult.
You can find the game here:

So, how fast is your brain? 
REMEMBER: While playing Mindflex, don’t use a pen and pencil! That’s cheating And you’re only cheating yourself
Note: Currently no sound, and feedback widget doesn’t work yet. Totally playable.
