Flash is dead - but rust never sleeps (ruffle.rs emulator) + LC10 idea
Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2022 5:00 am
Hi all,
For anyone with existing Flash-based apps or simulations - for example educational content - it may be of interest that you can now get these running on the web again by swapping out the Flash player for the Ruffle player - a Flash emulator implemented in Rust.
This is available both in Desktop (Linux, OSX, Windows) and Browser versions. An interesting idea might be to integrate this with livecode as an extension to re-enable Flash support.
It occurred to me this is the type of project may be well suited to Livecode 10, with web native support adding a project like this would be a snap.
ruffle is a Flash Player emulator built in the Rust programming language.
