Have you always dreamed of creating you own computer games? Do you want to create the next Angry Birds or Candy Crush Saga, but don’t have a huge budget or a wealth of experience behind you? If so, then Adobe AIR (which stands for Adobe integrated Runtime) could be just what you are looking for.
Adobe AIR is a simple but feature-rich program that allows users to create their own games and applications. Known as RIAs or Rich Internet Applications, these are simple games and apps that can be played both on a desktop PC and on a mobile device such as a Tablet computer or a Smartphone. Applications and games created within Adobe AIR are generally programmed using Adobe Flash, Apache Flex, Ajax and HTML. Adobe AIR has a simple and easy to user interface, but some programming skill will be required to create anything.
Adobe AIR works on the Windows and Mac Operating System, but has since been discontinued for the Linux Operating System. Adobe AIR is also compatible with a number of mobile Operating Systems, such as iOS and Android.
