''[[Wikipedia:Ruffle (software)|Ruffle]]'' is a notable open-source software project that has been developed with the goal of recreating ''Adobe Flash'' for modern web browsers using the Rust programming language, created by Mark Welsh. 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.
