Hi there

Just wondering if BB's are considering eventually recoding their match engine to HTML5? Not only is it more browser friendly, but consumes way less battery power on mobile and laptops.

In the future hopefully?

haha It is definitely complicated. And I think there are other things that the game needs rather than simply upgrading from Flash to HTML5. It would be nice to have it in html5 purely for the iphone purposes, but other than that I would much rather see things like a new draft system etc.

did you try it with "gordon" for your iphone, with this you could run a lot of flash things on it.

If Bb is used from lot of Iphone users, even an Update on developers side with flash professional cs5 i believe this is now avaible and could export flash program to iphone compability.

The problem with Flash is that it is a resource hog on the processor and would drain the batteries on phones and laptops. So the issue isn't getting it running, it's about power consumption of flash vs HTML5.

And yes, other things are more important, but I'd like to hope =) You guys are clever, you can do it!
