I stand by that Flash was the most fun way to write software, especially games.

It was so satisfying being able to animate something, and immediately have the ability to create code out if it.

I have not found a platform to replace that, though GameMaker gives something of a facsimile.



Just keep using Flash? It's called Animate now. https://www.adobe.com/products/animate.html


I know, but since there’s not a great way to deploy and share stuff it’s not the same.

Yes I know about Ruffle, but I don’t really want to make a retro game that targets an emulator, I want something that’s consistently updated.

Also Animates pricing model is bullshit.


You can export it as HTML/CSS/JS and upload it somewhere.


I haven’t tried that lately but when I tried that a few years ago it was terrible.
