So pretty much everyone knows that flash games that are a bit more complicated run slower on Macs than PCs.
I’ve been making flash games on a PC for a while and recently while borrowing a mac I realized that by having a sound playing in “stream” mode in the background games actually play at an acceptable speed on a mac. In addition to this, the games actually run rather smooth and not all jerky. It’s like you can really trick the browser into working properly.
When I try this with a PC, doing this stream trick just makes the game seam really jerky and bad, but I can just use some code to determine the users platform and then run a streaming sound if the user is using a mac. right?
What I’m wondering is, does anybody know of any reasons why this could be a problem? It seems way too good to be true.
If there are no problems, this truly is a miracle. I’m just surprised I’ve never heard of it. I’ve actually only bought PCs all these years because of the slowness of the flash games I build on MACs. This could change everything.
PLEASE COMMENT!
