Also, it's the product of years of procedural animation and design training. Flash can make some amazing graphics just using it's built in engine; adapting those to a 3d engine can make it look really good. I agree with you against Dan Palmer, though; he has no idea what he is talking about. @Worg: Kkrieger is 94k; not a big difference, but still.

Dan Palmer apparently has no idea at all how Quake3 runs so fast without pegging his hardware. DX10? Ha. Flash ain't got no DX10. This is running in software, buddy boy, and interpreted software at that. Difficult over a standard internet connection? You mean dialup? Kkrieger does an amazing shooter in 64k. All procedurally generated. With a creative programmer you could make a very nice game using only the textures from the above game. This is mindblowing. Awe-inspiring.

But on a 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo and a high end DX10 graphics card, this was using ALL of the power in one of my cores, and 250MB RAM. I could run a proper game of Quake 3 which has better graphics and be shooting people when still using less cpu power and probably only 50MB more RAM. This needs SERIOUS optimisation work for this to be a viable way of delivering games. Also, consider the difficulty of delivering an entire game's worth of textures and sound to a computer over a standard Internet connection. It would be difficult without Procedural Content Generation and that would use loads of cpu power to handle. Great concept. Going nowhere. This is not a bad demo of what is possible in flash.

I'm very impressed with the techniques used to increase performance. I have to agree in a game environment the quality toggle once stopped moving could get annoying but i can see why it is done. Good find my friend. :) Very cool. I’m very impressed with the techniques used to increase performance.
