What is flash?
Flash Player is a software/program that was pretty popular in the internet's early days (by early days I mean like… the 90’s, 2000’s, 2010’s) and permeates most of the stuff that's seen in that era. Flash is mostly known for its use of vector lines/shapes and its amatuer-ness since most of the early internet was composed of individuals who just created shit for fun.
Flash media was mostly created in a program called macromedia flash, it had the unique features of being a software that you could animate with and also code and make games with. Flash in retrospect was a buggy ass mess that absolutely LOVED to crash every hour or so. But it was one of the only programs that was available to the public so nearly every web based game or animation was made with macromedia flash..
Nowadays Flash is mostly abandoned by the internet as a whole, with the software being phased out of browser sites back in 2020 and the software - macromedia flash being replaced by programs that were specifically designed for games A Lot of the sites that did rely on flash now rely on emulators like ruffle or have found a way to convert flash games so that they arent broken. however there are still sites around the web that either could not migrate or have been abandoned by their owners years ago and thus didn't try to. Sometimes you might see these websites still up, if you try to play one of their games a blank space where the game should've been will greet you… a sad and empty reminder of once was.
