'''Adobe Flash Player''', also known simply as '''Flash''', was a multimedia software platform that was widely used in the early 2000s to create interactive content, animations, and video games. It allowed developers to create complex animations and interactive experiences that were viewable in web browsers. Flash was initially released in 1996 and quickly gained popularity among web developers due to its ease of use and versatility. Its popularity peaked in the mid-2000s, when many popular websites relied heavily on Flash content. | '''Adobe Flash Player''', also known simply as '''Flash''', was a multimedia software platform that was widely used in the early 2000s to create interactive content, animations, and video games.

The project was created in response to Adobe's announcement that it would no longer support Flash after 2020, which resulted in numerous existing Flash applications and games being rendered unplayable on modern browsers. ''Ruffle'' intends to fill this gap by offering a means for these Flash screamers to be played in modern browsers without the need for the ''Adobe Flash Player'' plugin. ''Ruffle'' operates by interpreting Flash content utilizing its own implementation of the Flash runtime. As a result, it can operate Flash applications and games directly within the browser, eliminating the requirement for a separate plugin or application. ''Ruffle'' is designed to be highly compatible with existing Flash content, and it supports numerous features and functionality similar to those found in the original ''Adobe Flash Player''. This includes support for vector graphics, animations, audio, and video playback. In general, ''Ruffle'' is an essential project that has been developed with the purpose of preserving and maintaining access to legacy Flash content that is still widely used and enjoyed by many people all over the world. | ||
