Topic: InstantStorm history

Here you can find the history of InstantStorm development.

It will take some time to gather all pieces of information. We must go through our harddiscs and backups to find old source codes.
You can look forward to screenshots of very old InstantStorm (even when the project's name still wasn't InstantStorm), first working program to convert Flash animation to screensaver (You may be surprised smile), and much more!

First piece of this huge historical jigsaw...

Thank you Opaquit!
We should put the information together. So in the end, when all stuff is gonna be collected, we should merge all posts to one.

Re: InstantStorm history

The codename for InstantStorm was Flash Dash. This is a screenshot of its first working version. It was just a proof of concept called Flash Dash Express, no one except the developers saw it (April 2004):

And this is the first working version of the program's new interface (May 2004):
