ruffle VS launcher

https://ruffle.rs/ recently came to my attention when I needed to resuscitate a back into tool that had been completely built in Macromedia products

FWIW, the thing I've found as the slowest single factor on my machine, might not be the slowest on yours; I might have not noticed the real cause of slowdowns on your machine at all, and you may be the only one able to diagnose it.

(and for the record, I'm on W10 too.)

Also, my personal experience from optimizing https://ruffle.rs/ is that in many cases Firefox's wasm runtime can behave slightly faster than on Chrome for some reason; and performance issues are often instead caused by other APIs like the canvas.

The proprietary tools were only an issue for people who needed the timeline. Games-wise, Both Actionscript 2 and 3 were perfectly usable without Flash. The MTASC compiler was a massive game-changer, and then Adobe released the AS3 compiler themselves, and certainly when I was at a consultancy working on a massive, expensive game, none of us were authoring anything in Flash. Even the designers and artists simply provided image assets.

A few years later, I did use Flash to teach students interactivity (in 2016, I was wondering why myself, but hey, university courses are hardly up-to-date) but there was little other reason to use it.

Today, I still rate AS3 and if there was an LLVM project to output, I don't know, WASM, or similar, I'd try it. Oh, there are?

Of course, MTASC wunderkind Nicolas Cannasse went off to create https://haxe.org/, which was used quite well on Smart TVs and the like for a while, still used in games. Maybe we already have the answer, but the web is too boring for this stuff.

How about the same old flash emulated in wasm, so no plugin.

Use those same great adobe tools in a vm.

If it used Flash, Ruffle would've picked them up (great addon if you haven't heard of it already: https://ruffle.rs/)

Looks like this site uses Windows Media Player embeds to play WMV files. I don't know of any big addon that makes those types of embeds work, if the server for the embedded protocol is still even alive.

Thankfully, the videos have been mirrored to Youtube.

Looks like this uses Flash (SWF) for interactive diagrams. Luckily ruffle.rs [1] works.

Some of you may know ruffle (https://ruffle.rs).

The memories…

I often wondered what would happen to those wonderful Orisinal mini games after Flash's death, without actually checking out the site. Would Ferry Halim find the time to port them to "HTML5"? Would they just… disappear forever?

It turns out that they know run in Ruffle[1], a Rust/WASM based Flash Player emulator I've never heard of (or forgotten about). The handful of them that I have tested work flawlessly.

Fortunately someone decided to archive all of the flash games so we can play them today:

https://flashpointarchive.org/

Yes, in the games category you can find some. But for playing the classic fully fledged games I suggest something like https://flashpointarchive.org/ , which is more organized

A lot of Flash games got archived over on Bluemaxima

Tales of Crevan. You can play it with Flashpoint.

Za ovu tvoju nisam igrao nista slicno nazalost, mozes da probas da skines flashpoint pa malo da isfiltriras pretragu i probas da nadjes tako

https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ You more or less just download and install and it asks if you want to install all the games otherwise you download on a case by case basis

If you can remember that the word truck was in the name then you can try to download Flashpoint, write "truck" in the search bar and see if you can find something there.

Since flash is gone its gotten harder to play the game online. I recommend https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ Flashpoint since it is the restored original flash experience. You do have to download flashpoint but it is free, easy and there's tons of other saved flash games too. There are remakes out there but none will be identical to the original, which you get by using flashpoint.
