How many thousands of hours have been wasted because of this? > I think if you're a big important game studio you don't have to stand for that and they give you a bulk upload tool, but I'm not one of those so I looked at the HTTP calls it was making, saved my login cookie to a file and wrote my own. You can't just define a list and give it to their command-line tools you have to laboriously click through the slow, confusing miasma of PHP sadness that is the Steam partner site and add them one by one. > Uploading achievements to Steam is a pain. We haven't implemented this in Ruffle yet. Flash can draw cubics - the two-control-point curves you think of when you think Bezier - but only in response to an AS3 graphics command. That's why the zoom factor on Flash movies was locked to 2000%. Flash specifies vectors in fixed-point units called twips. I'm not sure if this is virtual or device pixels. Remember how tesselation takes so long that it would hang Ruffle? And the polygonal outlines of Bezier curves can get really funky there's no obvious way to quickly say 'here's a curve, now give me the polygon that encloses a 5px stroke around it'. Drawing the stroke in a pixel shader would make sense, except you still need to define a polygon mesh around your stroke with a reasonable texture coordinate system to make the math work. This is because the offset of a Bezier curve is not a Bezier curve. You'd think we could just take the hull of the stroke and draw that as a fill, but you can't. This is especially simple for quadratic curves (the ones with one control point), which is what all Flash timeline art is. There's another approach to drawing Beziers on GPU: drawing the hull of control points with a procedural texture that calculates the underlying polynomial. We had to actually limit how much art could tesselate per frame, and expose that to movies as bytesLoaded, which is why Ruffle movies have preloaders even though we don't support streaming download.

There are certain movies (notably, a lot of Homestuck) that would hang the browser because of how much ridiculously complicated vector art was being processed before the movie even loads. All the tesselation work takes a significant amount of time. On Ruffle, however, the art becomes very low-poly. This provides a compression benefit, because it quantizes the points on the art with little visual difference on Flash Player.

However, there are some movies that do crazy things like store all the art at microscopic scale and blow it up. Tesselated vectors lose their smoothness, so we have to sort of guess what scale the art is drawn at and add enough detail polygons for things to render correctly. There's a minigolf game that does this to hairlines and it will basically never look right in Ruffle.

Likewise, any stretch of a stroke that changes the aspect ratio also distorts the stroke, since its baked into the tesselated mesh. When your stroke is a polygon mesh, you can't vary the stroke to match Flash without retesselating, so hairline strokes on shapes that stretch don't animate correctly. This is how Flash's 'hairline stroke' feature works: it actually asks for a 1/20px stroke, and that gets rounded up to whatever the current scaling factor for that shape is. If a stroke is smaller than 1px, it will be rounded up to 1px. Flash has very specific stroke-scaling rules.

But as you can imagine, this creates its own problems: This lets us render stuff that's technically vectors on GPU. Ruffle gets around this by tesselating every shape into a GPU-friendly triangle mesh. And that was a framework built for Flex developers if you were accustomed to building things on the timeline, you rendered on CPU, because that's where all of Flash's very particular rendering logic has to live. If you have knowledge over what will be drawn ahead of time, this is the most reasonable thing you can do.Įven before HTML5 support, the AS3 Starling framework that let you 'use the GPU' would pre-render all your vector assets to bitmap textures at runtime. It renders every shape in the FLA to a sprite sheet and then draws it to a canvas tag. When Adobe hacked on 'HTML5 support' to Animate, they did exactly the same thing the OP did. You'd need specific hardware support for rasterizing them, and as far as I'm aware no such hardware exists. What the OP meant was 'GPUs have literally no support for rendering anything other than pixels on triangles and getting them to efficiently draw Bezier curves and fills is an active area of research'. So, I think I need to elaborate on 'GPUs don't like vectors'.
