## Project status
Ruffle supports ActionScript 1, 2 and 3 pretty well, but it's still not finished by any means. Please report any issues in the [Issue Tracker](https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle/issues).
## Using Ruffle
The easiest way to try out Ruffle is to visit the [web demo page](https://ruffle.rs/demo/), then click the "Select File" button to load a SWF file of your choice.
[Nightly builds](https://ruffle.rs/downloads#nightly-releases) of Ruffle are available for desktop and web platforms.
For more detailed instructions, see our [wiki page](https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle/wiki/Using-Ruffle).
## Building from source
### Prerequisites
* Latest stable channel of [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
* Java, available on your PATH as `java` (required for building the library containing the builtin Flash classes for ActionScript 3)
### Linux prerequisites
The following are typical dependencies for Linux:
* libasound2-dev
* libxcb-shape0-dev
* libxcb-xfixes0-dev
* libgtk-3-dev
* libudev-dev
* libxcb-xinput-dev
* libxcb-xkb-dev
* libxcb-cursor-dev
* default-jre-headless
* cmake
* g++
### Desktop
#### Build
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.
#### macOS
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.
This project is tested with BrowserStack.
### Android
Follow the [instructions](https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle-android/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#building-from-source) in the `ruffle-android` project for building the Android application 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 -- scan folder/with/swfs/ results.csv`
### Exporter
If you have a SWF file 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` - core emulator and common code
- `swf` - SWF and ActionScript parser
- `desktop` - desktop client (uses `wgpu-rs`)
- `web` - web client and browser extension (uses `wasm-bindgen`)
- `render` - various rendering backends for both desktop and web
- `video` - video decoding backends
- `flv` - Flash Video decoder
- `wstr` - a Flash-compatible implementation of strings
- `scanner` - a utility to bulk parse SWF files
- `exporter` - 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!
