I'd rather hold my breath and hope the contest gets some good results, because as far as I can tell, the alternatives stink.Quote:

this... isnt actually that hard I think. after all someone made a SWF player for DC... it is just a matter of portage. Now it wasnt the best in the world, and it didnt play audio, but it was a good start.
This is assuming that the PSP is as weak as other mobile platforms. What other mobile platforms had 32 Megs of RAM, 3D acceleration, and a 300MHz CPU? Not any cellphones I've seen, not a single attempt at any of the Gameboys, nothing. Of course the PSP is not the end of the evolution, there is and will be faster and better platforms, just not until this point has there been anything capable in a mobile. This console is capable of more than what some people think.Quote:
deniska My point was - since lot's of people failed to implement a fully functional Flash player on other mobile platforms, I would not hold my breath waiting for a mirracle here.. but rather explore alternatives :-)
I've been a flash coder for two years now and it really bugs me that people still think flash is just a video. none of my applications have more than one frame. they run through a system of classes in actionscript similar to C++ or Java.
if any of you coders dont know much about programming, flash actionscript doesnt take much to get some cool looking product.
once this is made I'm sure it will string in lots of fun on-the-go applications.
oh yeah, and does anyone know much about this osFlash that was mentioned? does anybody know if it can handle actionscript 2.0? *my real consern
w00t, combat instinct please!!!
what the closing date of the contest?
i really havent heard anything about it for a while, I think its untill somebody does it
One problem with this: if it occurs, say goodbye to homebrew games. Everyone will begin coding in Flash instead of Lua, C, or C++.
No way homebrew is where the consoles are and that is what most of us want that have a psp at the moment. Flash will not kill the psp homebrew scene. I think the scene will just get bigger. How many people would buy a psp just so they could use it as a wireless internet point (web surfing with flash a must!). Hello starbucks the airport so many places you could get on the web easily. Lap tops are big the psp is tiny with that new keyboard coming out and a USB port(HD attactchemnt with psp stand) PSP's would be selling like hot cakes for $300 CAD. The psp is like a mini laptop with ease of use and style that fits in a chicks purse or a student bag or coat posket, car consle
