This includes a live demo on the same page. Just it "Try it now", and it will boot up a component for you to play with. I've made the Home page a list of class Adobe Flash games, that the Flash emulator project Ruffle uses for tests.

I use Ruffle to provide the flash content. It's pretty cool.

Everything should work, but you may have some issues on older browsers. It will not work without JavaScript enabled.

The browser component is based on this project:

https://github.com/i5ik/Viewfinder

but contains a bunch of enhancements, such as better streaming (using WebRTC and various tricks), Flash, and many other improvements.

If you see an issue feel free to report it to the above repo, preferably as a discussion, which just seems cooler and more lightweight.

This was all originally created as a delivery layer for a web-scraping app that was supposed to work on mobile, but became a break-out product in its own right...Break-out as in factored-out :). You can build lots of different stuff with it.[0]

The Ruffle integration functions essentially the same way as the Ruffle browser extension, so it's basically incorporating an "extension" even tho it's running Chrome headless. There's also paid options if you need that.
