Technical Elements Development Macromedia Flash 4 can be used to author the game. In addition, Flash is capable of producing relatively small files that are easily accessible through the Internet. Also, Flash movies can be played on PCs or Macs. The minimum visual requirement for the game will be a resolution of 600 X 400 pixels. The initial size of the screen will be 600 x 400, but this can easily be made greater or smaller by resizing the window.
Flash movies maintain their original proportions when the user resizes the window.
All audio will consist of ambient sounds and will not require any spatialized or 3-D sound technology. Flash is capable of importing most graphics file formats. However, because of the game's simplicity, most images can be created within Flash. Before importing any sounds, they must be in either AIFF or WAV formats. Flash also provides several compression options for exporting movies with sound.
