I believe that a good website should not be run on Flash. Sure, it can have trivial flash components, but not Flash for the menu, navigation, and content!
Nonetheless, Flash allows designers to make very visually appealing websites with effects that are not possible with simple HTML/CSS and either cumbersome or unfeasible with Javascript. Furthermore, there’s no need to tinker with stylesheets or test browser compatibility for hours on end.
So against my principles, I am experimenting with a Flash version of my website. It’s started off simple and redundant, but I will develop it more in my free time. The hardest part is of course the graphics. You can see my project at: http://darrenhe.com/flash.
I finally am making some changes to my own website!
Logo has been changed and I have added a right side picture for people with big enough monitors to see it. Kat’s doing some graphics for me – I’m excited!
Also made some graphics for Services and Portfolio, and I’m thinking of replacing that rainbow thing on my home page to a flash animation. I only put it there to take up space anyways.
I haven’t touched a game in a month and I really have no urge to pick it back up. No shooters, strategy games, or even flash games. For people who say gaming is an addiction, (just like smoking, drinking, TV-ing, and drama-ing are addictions), I’ve gone cold turkey. Vegetarian even.
I have spent more time on my website(s). But oddly, my most-viewed creation is from a game – a video capture of Desktop Tower Defense 1.5, a popular tower defense flash game (think tens of millions of times played). It is a strategy to beat the Fun Mode’s 100 Levels without losing any lives. It’s on YouTube.
