ruffle

We have hosted the application ruffle in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about ruffle:

Ruffle is an open-source emulator for Adobe Flash Player, written primarily in Rust, and targeted at both desktop applications and web browsers via WebAssembly. Its goal is to enable legacy Flash content�animations, games, interactive media�to continue running safely and reliably after official Flash support was discontinued. On the web side, Ruffle is embedded into pages or installed as a browser extension; in the desktop version, it can open .swf files directly or embed them in applications. Because it�s built with memory safety in mind, Ruffle helps avoid many of the security vulnerabilities that plagued classic Flash (buffer overflows, use-after-free, etc.). It strives to support multiple versions of ActionScript (1, 2 and parts of 3) and a wide swath of the Flash API so as much content as possible works unchanged.

Features:

• Emulates ActionScript 1.0 & 2.0 content fully, with improving support for ActionScript 3.0
• Runs in browser via WebAssembly, allowing embedding in websites or use as extension
• Desktop client to open SWF files locally
• Browser extensions for Firefox, Chrome / Chromium etc to enable Flash content on web pages
• Strong safety: written in Rust, avoids many of Flash�s memory safety issues (use-after-free, buffer overflows)
• Actively maintained with increasing coverage of the Flash API (language / API support metrics)

Programming Language: Rust.
