Application puts you on kind of variables are site counter with oncoming traffic. Players must be extremely alert to weave between lanes without causing collisions. The intensity of this car games is what makes it hard for players to take their eyes off the screen.

An Application variable is shared across all users and sessions, so I think of it as global data that stays available as long as the application is running. On the other hand, a Session variable is specific to each individual user, meaning it stores data separately for each session and usually expires after a period of inactivity, much like how platforms such as Cool Games Free manage different user interactions independently.

Application Variable and Session Variable Both Generate From Server ... But Session would have a Different values for every user , while application variable have same value for every user ...application variable creates only one memory for one variable and for all user . while session creates one memory for one variable for one user :)

Application variable will be maintained like global variable. Ex if I create a application session in my project and assign this value 1. Think it's a web application. User 1 is login to my application from his machine and he is clicking the button to increase the application variable value 1.now the application variable value is 2.user 2 is login in our application from another machine and again he is clicking the same button to increase the application session value. Now the value will be 2 to 3.not 1 to 2. But if u maintaining same process in session variable it will be only increase 1 to 2 everyone login and clicking the same button. A real time example for application session variable is to get the count for no of users accessing our application.

Application variable: it is used for entire application which common for all users. It is not for user specific. this variable value will lost when application restarted.
Session variable :- this variable is for user specific. the value of the session is available till the user is logged in. when the user logged out session value will be destroyed. every session has unique id.

Session limited to single user interaction whereas application variable resides inside until application will be stopped

Application variables are the variables which remain common for the whole application for all the users… Their value can be used across the whole application by any user… And they die only when the application stops or probably when they are killed forcibly… The ideal example for these kind of variables are site counter… We can find out how many people accessed a particular site since the time it went live via application variables and incrementing the same on ever session start..

Session variables are variables which remain common for the whole application but for one particular user. They also can be used across the whole application but each user will have a copy… But they die when a particular user session ends or probably when they are killed forcibly… The ideal example for this kind of variable are user id… You might want to show "Welcome Prabha " on every page of your site till Prabha logs off… So in session start you set a variable to "Welcome Meetu Choudhary" and kill it on end of session…
