Ruffle: Status of Browser Play - bls1999 - 11th January 2021
I just installed a plugin called Ruffle on JV. This is a WIP by a team of very talented developers aiming to restore flash functionality to web browsers.
Since the plugin is still in its infancy, there are many things that don't work properly. This thread has a rundown of what works and what doesn't. I'll continue to update it as new builds of Ruffle are added to the site; however, since it would be extremely tedious for me to go back and examine every game after every new Ruffle release, please check on your favorite games every now and then to see if the functionality has changed from my notes.
To view Ruffle's overall progress, you can visit the AS2 and AS3 tracking issues on Ruffle's GitHub repo.
General Notes
- No multiplayer games work. You can follow the status of the AS2 XMLSocket class implementation here. (Edit: socket has been implemented but the games are still broken, not sure why at the moment)
- Opening links from the game will sometimes cause the game to become unresponsive when returning.
- Right-click menus have added Ruffle elements.
- All tests are done on a Mac/Chromium environment.
Games that run flawlessly:
- Red Earth
- Kimblis the Blue
- Uber Breakout
- Uber Breakout 2
- Cooties
- Mines
- Uber Pool
- The Game of Disorientation
- Rolley Ball
- Orbit
- Musical Evenizer
- Effing Hail
- Effing Meteors
Games that have only some minor graphical/sound glitches:
- Neverending Light – artifacts around light beams, text cut off the end of one of the subtitles, lag between graphics and sound in some places
- the Great Red Herring Chase – some text highlighting persists after it's supposed to be cleared
Games that can be completed, despite major graphical/sound glitches:
- Red Earth II – animations/sounds remain in a heavy loop, graphical decay occurs
- Beat Master 3000 – there's a pretty heavy desync across sound channels (i.e., sound effects and music)
Games that can't be completed but can still be played:
- None at the moment! \0/
Games that don't work at all:
- Click Upon Dots – can't connect
- Kongregate Racing – can't connect
- Platform Racing – can't connect
- Uber Space Shooter – crashes about 10 seconds into gameplay
- Volly-Bounce – can't connect
- Platform Racing 2 – loader IO error
- Platform Racing 3 – doesn't get past the preloader
