HackerReposA FIELD GUIDE TO OPEN SOURCE
A Flash player written in JavaScript. Now with more bugs! This version is a major rework of what was demoed last year. It is better in many ways, but also less complete in many ways. It also uses Canvas to render instead of SVG. The main difference, though, is that after making a mess building the first player, this codebase is actually maintainable. Currently cleaning up: tools to help dissect SWFs, and the AS2 -> JS compiler.
