Flash Games --- Are They Really Good?

Computer games have became very popular in today’s technology world. Especially children and adults are playing these games in a tremendous way. According to a recent survey conducted by an independent research firm in United States of America, it is been observed that more than sixty percent of adults are spending almost 10 hours a week in playing games. And according to the same research, the time consumption is going to increase by another 60% every year in the coming four years. Even the emerging markets like INDIA and China are also catching quite fast in this arena. So, the gaming market is really booming.
Flash, a product from Macromedia can be used in a very terrific way to program games. Flash games are also very popular all around the world. Flash games are mainly popular in the casual games arena. Flash can be used in a very extensive fashion to design graphic rich and interactive Flash games. However, to make games, which are very serious, flash was not a good option. But, the time has changed quite a lot.
Flash 7, the new version, also called MX 2004 at retail, is a modern interactive platform. Macromedia is betting on its power to design massive flash games. It has a very powerful design and animation authoring tool, an object oriented type safe dynamic scripting engine, bitmap rendering with anti aliasing and sub pixel precision, and advanced video and audio playback features. These features are proving really exceptional and helpful for developers to design graphic rich flash games.
One of the main advantages of the flash games is that the Flash is everywhere. For the web version of a game, 96% of the audience won’t need to download anything except the game. More importantly, many people won’t be able to install arbitrary ActiveX controls, or use a Java plug-in, whereas Flash is preinstalled with Windows on corporate machines.
Flash games are normally very easy to learn also when compared to their counter parts. Especially, for children, these flash games look quite interesting ads they need less or even no time to learn. They can play any flash game instantly.
However, the major problem with Flash games is their performance. Action Script can be very slow. Byte code execution is ok, probably on par with other scripting languages, but there is a significant problem with entry points. Setting up the execution context to call into the virtual machine and tearing it down again after a function exits is extremely expensive. Less expensive, but still significant, is a script-to-script function call. Hence, if you can fine-tune the performance, then Flash is definitely a great option to develop games. By Kashish Arora

KENO

Keno is one of those games you either know about or you don't. It's basically considered a lotto in the casino. Like the lotto, the game consists of numbers drawn. The object is to pick the numbers that come up. The game of Keno can either be fast or slow depending on the casino. By playing Keno online you can control the pace of the game. There are also keno machines. Personally, I like live keno. You sit in a lounge, if you want, and play. Keno is a game that you don't have to be present to play and win. For instance, you could put in a ticket for 20 games and then go play something else in the casino. The game of Keno is pretty simple. In this article, I will go over some of the basics of the game setup and rules. It's a piece of cake, so let's get going. Keno Board The game is played on a board. The Keno board consists of eighty total numbers-number 1 though 80. The first forty are called the top half and the second forty are called the bottom half. Playing Keno Each game of Keno goes the same. The game starts, and twenty numbers are drawn. If you are playing live keno, they may have the ball system. Ping pong style balls are sucked up and chosen, just like the lotto on TV. Other live Keno departments use computers. If a number you selected is chosen, that's called a “hit.” When all twenty numbers are selected, the game ends and winning tickets are paid. There is a lot of diversity in the game of Keno. For instance, you can select one number, two numbers and so forth-up to twenty numbers. Usually, you need to hit most of your numbers to win something. For instance, if you select six numbers, you will usually need to hit 3 to get your money back. Keno Payouts The payouts in Keno are pretty high. The probability of winning depends on the total numbers selected. For instance, if you select two numbers, you have a 6% probability of hitting your ticket. Every casino's Keno department has their own payouts. There is also a difference in pay between live Keno and machines. If you are going to play online, make sure you shop around for the best payouts first.
