Online Games: How Flash and Java Script Changed the World

Posted: 12 Dec 2009 09:43 PM PST

The majority of games that are played online are coded in a manner that means they can be played on most computer platforms. As a result, anyone who plays a particular game should have an experience that is pretty much the same as anyone else who plays it, regardless of what type of computer they are using. This means that instead of having many smaller, distinct online gaming communities, we now have a single, much larger one.

For those of you that are not aware of the terminology, and without getting too technical, we will over simplify things here in the explanation. Flash and Java Script are programming languages that are universal and can be read by a range of computing systems. So, no matter what computer you are using, the experience you have should be the same.

For years Macintosh and PC users were effectively separate camps, and they are still are to some people, but the advent of universal programming languages bought gamers on these two platforms together. Not only could they play and compete against each other, but they could do so on a level playing field as everyone, regardless of what type of computer they were using, was seeing and hearing the game in pretty much the same way.

These new computing languages not only brought online gamers closer together, they are also significantly improved the quality and range of online games. Once implemented, the Internet experience shifted from one that was primarily geared towards data retrieval to one that was leaning towards a well-rounded multimedia experience which incorporated sight and sounds not previously possible.

Since then, all online gamers have continued to feel the benefits. Online games these days are far above and beyond what could have been imagined a decade ago. With better technology, faster Internet connections, and better programming and coding, gamers these days can play games with movie like graphics against 20+ players simultaneously.

Such improvements within the industry have unsurprisingly led to an influx of new people to the world of online gaming - which means the market is bigger, there is more money available, and, as a result, game producers create bigger and better games in order to gain a bigger share of it. The result? Even better times for gamers everywhere!
