Topic: Game Programming / slowdown on game when uploaded?

Firefox and IE both limit the amout of resources a Flash applet can use. Safari (at least the Windows Beta) doesn’t seem to have that cap and Flash runs a lot faster in it.

Generally it is a good idea to optimize your game so that it can run even on older hardware. I develop on a 5 year-old laptop, because I’m too cheap to buy a new computer. But it has the upside that I can be pretty sure if it runs ok on my machine, it will run fine for most players.

Topic: Game Programming / Making Money From Your Game

AdamSchroeder, Thank you for putting your FlashGameSponsorship.com site together. I too am new to the business and have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how it works. Your work on putting this together is invaluable. You might want to turn your site into a blog with ads. It would be a good way to get additional revenue, for work you are already doing. I know I would certainly read it regularly, and I’m sure a loto of other developers would be interested as well.

Topic: Kongregate / Updated Games

Based on feedback in comments, I updated my game, Bumper Car Madness, adding 4-way offline multi-player via the keyboard and a pause feature. Have fun!

Topic: General Gaming / Messages to other members?

Is there any way to send private messages to other users. I uploaded my game Bumper Car Madness, the other day and got some feedback. Based on some of the feedback, I added in a couple of features including pause and offline multiplayer. I’d like to contact the members who provided feedback to let them know. Is there any mechanism for doing so?

BTW here’s a link to the game:
