• When SVG almost got network support for raw sockets

  Not the first attempted Flash reimplementation[1,2,3]. The GNU one didn’t work all that well back in the day as far as I remember, but then Flash was a moving target at the time.

• Good flash emulator for walfas?

  A true emulator would be something like Ruffle or Lightspark. Ruffle I know doesn't work well with Walfas last time I checked. I don't know about Lightspark. Source: over 1 year ago

• Flash game to Html5 converter

  Lightspark, a browser plugin written in C++. It's a work in progress, not every flash content will work. Modern mainstream browsers don't support running it within a page, so flash content needs to be run in a standalone lightspark app, or in some lesser known browsers. Source: over 1 year ago

• How and where do I tell CMake where my C/CXX compiler is?

  I'm trying to install lightspark on my computer, and it hinges on launching a shell script that mainly executes a CMake command. When I try ./build.sh (the name of the shell script), I get a bunch of lines of errors. The first one I think is major is CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.23/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:69 (message): The C compiler "/usr/bin/cc" is not able to compile a simple test...

• What "legacy" software are you still forced to use in 2022 that you wish would die?

  I'm having alot of fun with this post actually. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some alternative or workaround for whatever you guys need to run. For example, instead of the clunky Java, we have this. Instead of Flash, try this. Source: over 2 years ago

• Flash Player

  You really shouldn’t do it, but if you are sure then checkout ruffle or lightspark. Source: over 2 years ago

• Hello redditors! I'm here with a request to make you, create or otherwise play in any way, the game "Happy Aquarium" from facebook, a game that many people had become fond of, and unfortunately it no longer works due to the closure of Flash Player, please, is there anyone who can help me?

  You could try something like https://lightspark.github.io/ May be quite buggy/unusable depending on the game. Google flash player alternatives for more. Source: almost 3 years ago

• 20 Years Ago, Bejeweled Kicked Off the Age of Casual Gaming

  Someone actually extracted the SWF and made it playable in a browser. It doesn't work anymore, due to browsers dropping support for Flash, and Ruffle and Lightspark show the title screen then fail to load (swf2js quickly cycles between a bunch of different screens). According to the same user, UNO is also a flash game. Source: almost 3 years ago
