Warm-Up Talk: Reanimating the Web

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

An open-source runtime resurrects SWF content by combining WebGL and TypeScript for accelerated rendering, adds on-the-fly tessellation to turn vector art into GPU-friendly triangles, and reuses the Shumway AVM to run ActionScript without plugins. A vector-heavy game (Icicle) reaches Android and Steam, 1,200 classroom lessons convert and play interactively, and mixed 2D/3D scenes project into each other on mobile. Performance optimizations work and the roadmap points at WebAssembly and VR integration.
