Is there an alternative to flash to create mini-games

[Amie]

My problem is that I would love to create mini flash games for websites, such as those that can be found on armorgames or Miniclip. But I think I should use something else: Flash is not free, it's heavy, it is not indexed, it stinks basically. While I agree, flash is very objectionable, and you can easily do without to make animations or dynamic sites with HTML5, SVG, JavaScript, OpenLaszlo etc. But regarding the mini-games, I see too much with what else I could code. I will not do in C either. So do you know the alternatives to flash that would create mini-games? If possible free languages, which do not block the websites (unless this is impossible).

What do you meant by "is not indexed"?

You absolutely want a free language. It does what it is not free but still free with Silverlight or Java applet, for example.

I misspoke, I mean by not indexed not recognized by search engines. It is well known that the flash is now going down. Swf, a large block unreadable by bots search engines.

I heard about Silverlight in fact, I will look to see if this is correct or not. If it is almost the same thing that I still flash on it

Flash seems quite difficult to dethrone the moment at least but can do without the Flash development tool. I do the flash without this tool in addition it does not run on linux I tried flex but its very hard and you need the Java VM + eclipse etc. I am currently using SWFC part of swftools. It runs on all platforms and it can make the actionscript 3 from version 0.9.0

It is well known among those who know nothing. I am referencing the site in Flash and is a bit more complicated than HTML, I agree, but equally effective. This was true since 5 years but now it has changed.

In fact you will not gain much. Especially for games, Flash is the most appropriate.
