# Ruffle

Ruffle is an Adobe Flash Player emulator written in the Rust programming language. Ruffle targets both the desktop and the web using WebAssembly.

## Project status

Ruffle is in the proof-of-concept stage and can currently run early Flash animations and games. Basic ActionScript 1.0/2.0 support is in place and improving; ActionScript 3.0 support is forthcoming. For more info, read the [project roadmap](https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle/wiki/Roadmap).

## Using Ruffle

The easiest way to try out Ruffle is to visit the [web demo page](https://ruffle.rs/demo/), then click the "Browse..." button to load an SWF file of your choice.

[Nightly builds](https://ruffle.rs/#releases) of Ruffle are available for desktop and web platforms including the browser extension.

For more detailed instructions, see our [wiki page](https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle/wiki/Using-Ruffle).

## Building from source

[Follow the official guide](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) to install Rust for your platform.

You must also have Java installed, and available on your PATH as `java`.

### Desktop

If you are building for a Linux platform, the following are typical dependencies:
#### Ubuntu

* libasound2-dev
* libxcb-shape0-dev
* libxcb-xfixes0-dev
* libgtk-3-dev
* libssl-dev
* libxcb-xinput-dev
* libxcb-xkb-dev
* libxcb-cursor-dev
* default-jre-headless
* cmake
* g++


Use the following command to build and run the desktop app:

`cargo run --release --package=ruffle_desktop`

To run a specific SWF file, pass the SWF path as an argument:

`cargo run --release --package=ruffle_desktop -- test.swf`

To build in debug mode, simply omit `--release` from the command.

## Homebrew

Ruffle Desktop can be built from our [Homebrew Tap](https://github.com/ruffle-rs/homebrew-ruffle/):

`brew install --HEAD ruffle-rs/ruffle/ruffle`

_Note: because it is HEAD-only, you'll need to run `brew upgrade --fetch-HEAD ruffle` each time you want to update._

### Web or Extension

Follow [the instructions in the web directory](web/README.md#building-from-source) for building
either the web or browser extension version of Ruffle.

### Scanner

If you have a collection of "real world" SWFs to test against, the scanner may be used to benchmark
ruffle's parsing capabilities. Provided with a folder and an output filename, it will attempt to read
all of the flash files and report on the success of such a task.

`cargo run --release --package=ruffle_scanner -- folder/with/swfs/ results.csv`

### Exporter

If you have a swf and would like to capture an image of it, you may use the exporter tool.
This currently requires hardware acceleration, but can be run headless (with no window).

- `cargo run --release --package=exporter -- path/to/file.swf`
- `cargo run --release --package=exporter -- path/to/file.swf path/to/screenshots --frames 5`

## Structure

- `core` contains the core emulator and common code
- `desktop` contains the desktop client (uses `wgpu-rs`)
- [`web`](web) contains the web client and browser extension (uses `wasm-bindgen`)
- `scanner` contains a utility to bulk parse swf files
- `exporter` contains a utility to generate PNG screenshots of a swf file

## Sponsors

You can support the development of Ruffle via [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/ruffle-rs). Your sponsorship will help to ensure the accessibility of Flash content for the future. Thank you!
