Flash Game License

Last week I wrote about wonderfl, a unique resource for Flash developers. But it's not one I use a lot; I've perhaps used it only a few times for experiments and for code I'd like to show working.


By far the most important and useful web site I use is Flash Game License. As it says below its logo it is "The place to buy and sell Flash games.", so it's a marketplace. It's needed because of the structure of the Flash game industry, with many buyers and even more sellers, of games worth so little that they are not worth advertising or heavy promotion.

As I've used it in two posts I should mention what wonderfl is. It's simply one of the best resources available for Flash developers, in particular ActionScript programmers. It lets developers upload and run ActionScript, for testing or to demonstrate it. Code on the site can be modified, even if you did not write it, by creating a copy (or a 'fork') and working on that. Editing and testing all takes place in the browser, making it often much quicker than setting up a similar project in Adobe Flash CS or a similar environment.
