Flash vs. Client

Hi,

I was wondering why developers chose to run this on the web via flash instead of programming a client/server system. I bet it’ll be much faster than it is right now, which is epicly slow, and they’ll probably have more control over the UI.

Just wondering.

It is a client/server system. This is independent on the use of Flash. The components are currently

• Game-Server (Ruby)
• Webserver (Ruby on Rails)
• Game-Client (JavaScript)

The only flash-Apps are currently the CardList/Deckeditor and the card preview in the JS-Client. I’m currently working on a new client, however, that is Flex-based (also Flash-Platform, but not Flash-Development). At least the loading-time of the game will be much faster!
