… how the Flash gaming scene is at the moment. Is Flash games still a popular thing online (not talking mobile, only browser games). I used to do some small games for my old website (gone now), but stuff got in the way and I spent my time on other things. Now I feel like going back and start coding stuff again for a new website.

So, how active is the Flash gaming scene? I’ve read in so many places how Flash is dying, or even DEAD (I hope not). I just don’t wanna spend time coding games (I only do smaller ones :P) to then just find out that maybe the Flashplayer will not be supported anymore, people will not care to have it installed in their browsers or whatever.

Also, I wanted to use an online highscore (leaderboard?) system that is pretty secure, only one I found was scoreoid. Checking scoroid’s website just makes me question them as it has far apart updates, even their twitter, and there are spelling/grammar errors ALL OVER the entire site. Anyone got experience dealing with them? Are they good? Are their servers for hosting score stable and always online?

Cheers for any reply.
