Not sure if the right section, I am looking to develop a game. Here is the basic concept: 1. The game times how much time it takes the player to perform a certain action (e.g. find the colors by clicking on them). 2. After the player is done (e.g. finds the last color) a option appears him to share the result on facebook. 3. Maybe some advertising before and after the game. (that would be easy to change) My question what would be the best engine for this flash or java? I have heard action script might be the best choice. Thanks.
I would create it with flash, just seems easier for me. I actually have java turned off in my browser. Flash seems to be a more popular option.
If you actually wanted to design it, ensuring all the rendering was done on the GPU (although CPU is allowed) and with a familiar / popular shader language, try silverlight 5, Flash probably by now has some shader language support but honestly judging by all the mainstream flash games things still are still a CPU drain.
