“…Their analysis showed that music in video games has seven qualities: rhythm, active score, quantization, synesthesia, play as performance, sound agents, and free-form play. Migneco et al [68] proposed an audio processing library to enable the use of sound in Web-based games using a Flash development tool. They claimed that this approach provided flexibility and great functionality for developing games using Flash technology.…”

The growth of the software game development industry is enormous and is gaining importance day by day. This growth imposes severe pressure and a number of issues and challenges on the game development community. Game development is a complex process, and one important game development choice is to consider the developer's perspective to produce good-quality software games by improving the game development process. The objective of this study is to provide a better understanding of the developer's dimension as a factor in software game success. It focuses mainly on an empirical investigation of the effect of key developer's factors on the software game development process and eventually on the quality of the resulting game. A quantitative survey was developed and conducted to identify key developer's factors for an enhanced game development process. For this study, the developed survey was used to test the research model and hypotheses. The results provide evidence that game development organizations must deal with multiple key factors to remain competitive and to handle high pressure in the software game industry. The main contribution of this paper is to investigate empirically the influence of key developer's factors on the game development process.

“…The release of Flash version 10 in October, 2008 [11] and the public preview of the Adobe Alchemy project in December, 2008 [12], provided a potential solution for these problems, and we have since developed a new architecture that enables uninterrupted, interactive audio processing directly within the lesson environment, which greatly improves the user experience. This new architecture is detailed in [13] and [14] and briefly summarized below. Unlike previous versions, Flash 10 makes it possible to dynamically generate and output audio within the Flash framework.…”

Abstract-It is widely believed that computer games have great potential as a compelling and effective tool for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, particularly for younger students in grades K-12 (ages 5-18). In previous work we created several prototype games that allow students to use sound and acoustics simulations to explore general scientific concepts. These games were developed using Adobe Flash and are accessible through a standard web browser, making them particularly well-suited for education environments where custom software may be difficult to install. Pilot testing our games with local K-12 classrooms has demonstrated potential benefits in terms of captivating student interest, but has also revealed multiple avenues for improvement and refinement. We have recently developed a unified development platform that overcomes prior architectural limitations to enable dynamic sound processing and synthesis within Flash applications to improve responsiveness and create rich interactive experiences. Since they are constructed in ActionScript, the relatively straightforward scripting language of Flash, these games can be easily extended or adapted to target highly specific lessons and concepts. In this paper, we detail several specific lesson plans for mathematics and science education developed using customized versions of our previous games.
