i can see where this is going.
something actual and popular IN 3D!

3D videosite?
3D social network?
3D microblog?

zplex: sadly not THAT version :(

actually, he has.

:)

Wrong website, go to gamedev.net, there you can join forces with the other thousands of new Bill Gates that are revolutionizing the world from their bedrooms.

(good luck, nevertheless)

also dbfinteractive.com forums are a good start.

Just a question: Why would ANYONE possibly code Flash now when HTML5 & <canvas> is coming?

miiro: Are u Steve Jobs?

I'm not a graphics guy, but I guess Adobe's flash authoring tools are still pretty good compared to writing HTML5 by hand.

miiro, cause he doesn't even know that.

without either money or skill, an idea is just an idea. everybody has ideas all the time. most suck. if your ideas are good, you can get investors. if you can't get investors, then you wont be able to run a successful company either, so even if it's a successful start, it'll go down the drain later.

the whole profit sharing bullshit *only* works with people you blindly trust.

I know someone that have got rich making an awful Visual Basic app with lots of memory leakage, so there is hope if you get enough stupid customers. In this case the constant "fixing" of the vb application have been paid by the customers. But then again, his idea was brilliant, the execution awful, or was it the other way around....hmmm

i bet 100 million negroes before had the same dream. but white man shut dem dead

Hire some offshore freelancer from e.g. eastern europe or india and get rich on your own.

Hiring western europeans is expensive. I would charge around ~100 EUR/hour for ad hoc tasks from "untrusted" customers (and I dont even do flash/action script)

No, but I agree with him in his opinions of Flash. I believe that it doesn't take many years for HTML5 to replace Flash almost completely. Maybe I'm an idealist, maybe I'm not but I've seen many great things made with <canvas>.

fuck off, boogito

Miiro: I don`t see why Flash must die because its working bad on the Mac, maybe it`s not all Adobes fault when you see how bad games works on MacOSX.

It`s good to have alternatives that drives development forward, instead of being limited by one set of ideas.

It's also working bad on Linux.
It's also working bad on Windows, less bad if you have lots of ram & cpu.

miiro: It probably works bad on your mickey mouse watch also.

Zplex: The point is that Flash actually uses lots of CPU when it could be used for something more clever.

And HTML5/Javascript combo is faster...?

jua: js compilers are constantly getting better and better as well hw-accelerating canvas

miiro: never target main stream web apps at users running the latest beta version of chrome on a high end gaming machine.

People are still using IE6 ffs. You can pretty much forget about HTML5 for a few years if you want your site to be accessible for the less tech savvy people :)

you don't want those people anyways because they probably can't even read!

Maybe he doesn't. Maybe he wants a stylish site for alien tourism on earth!
