Most online games are written in computer languages that can be understood and processed by a range of different computer platforms. This makes it easier for many people to enjoy the same game regardless of the type of computer that they are using to access it. Consequently, you find, for example, that a Macintosh user will have a very similar experience on a game as a Windows based user, and the online gaming community is brought much closer, as hardware and software barriers are removed.
The ability to have the same online gaming experience, regardless of the computer hardware that you have, has been made possible through the creation and continued development of Flash and Java Script - which are both programming languages. As these two languages began to get recognition, more and more games began to be made using them, with the result being that gamers were demanding that any new computer they bought had the capabilities to play them.
Before the universal adoption of Flash and Java Script, PC users and Mac users were mostly unable to play against each other in online games. Now, not only can they do so, but they can do on a totally equal playing field, where users of either see, hear and experience exactly what users of the other platform are also seeing, hearing and experiencing.
These new computing languages not only brought online gamers closer together, they are also significantly improved the quality and range of online games. Once implemented, the Internet experience shifted from one that was primarily geared towards data retrieval to one that was leaning towards a well-rounded multimedia experience which incorporated sight and sounds not previously possible.
Progress and developments since then have been fast and furious, and online games as they now were beyond imagination just 10 years ago. It's really been a snowball effect, that started with the introduction of Flash and Java Script. Those two languages opened up the Internet to lots of new people, and as more people began to use the Internet, the more companies set about improving the online experience in terms of technology and connection speeds, so as to meet the demands of the ever increasing online market.
And it is online gamers that have benefited as much as, if not more than, anyone else. The millions of people that now use the Internet to play online games have created a huge market that game producers all want a part of. For those that make the best games, there are millions of dollars to be earned, and that prize has led to fierce competition. The result? Bigger and better games, and a better online gaming experience!
