electron-flash-gaming-starter

This is a starter project for using a Flash game library with Electron for native desktop packaging.

installation and usage

npm install
npm start - will compile and launch the local dev version of Electron and your js / SWF
npm run pack-win32 - will compile everything for the 32-bit windows platform and put it into the /dist folder
npm run pack-win64 - will compile everything for the 64-bit windows platform and put it into the /dist folder

YMMV, but I had the best results on Windows10 with the 64-bit build

FlashPunk 1.7.2

This project is using FlashPunk v1.7.2, however feel free to drop in your own preferred Flash library.

Pepper Flash

Electron makes use of the Chromium browser, and so the Flash bridge is handled via PepperFlash.

Included in this project are the win32 / win64 pepperflash binaries, but if you need to update or use a different version.

Windows (if you need to use a different version)

http://chromium.woolyss.com/#flash
download the pepperflash installer for Windows
After install, the plugin path will be:
- On a 64-bit #windows: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer64_[version].dll (64-bit version) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer32_[version].dll (32-bit version)
- On a 32-bit #windows: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer32_[version].dll (32-bit version)
copy the needed binary into /app/plugins/flash/win32 or /app/plugins/flash/win64
