Those sample files.. bring back memories. I think we took a step backwards in serving vector art/animation on the web. When YouTube replaced Flash, we've probably wasted petabytes of bandwidth serving rasterized content when Flash or a similar format would have been much more effective.

A standard at least for encoding vector animation would be nice. Also needs to be not as bulky as having svg frame per frame, etc...

What's Newgrounds affiliation with Ruffle? Did they create it?

To test it out: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/113883

No flash player required. Works in HTML 5.

Loaded slow though.

There's a cool song in it: Splashdown - So Ha

Is Albino Blacksheep in on the ruffle.rs stuff? Remember them? They were always pioneering CSS stuff back in the 2000's.

I think Mike from Newgrounds is the lead developer on the project, or at least the guy who created it.

I did noticed the slow load times, but honestly a small cost to pay. I wouldn't be surprised if most of it is related to loading and warming up webassembly.
