No, Flambe has been deprecated and replaced by 2DKit. The project is no longer actively updated, so it's not recommended for new development due to lack of support.

Question 2

Flambe vs Phaser: which is better for HTML5 games?

Accepted Answer

Flambe offers cross-platform compilation to Flash and mobile via Adobe AIR, while Phaser is JavaScript-based and focused on web games. However, Flambe is deprecated, so Phaser is a more viable choice for new projects with active community support.

What are the main alternatives to Flambe now?

Accepted Answer

Since Flambe is deprecated, alternatives include its successor 2DKit, or popular engines like Phaser for web, and Unity or Godot for broader cross-platform support with active communities.
