Hi! Welcome to Plugin.IO VM, a community project aimed at porting AVM2 to HTML5 using C++ and Emscripten.
After making a case for a rich media binary format, we set out to develop a new HTML5 virtual machine specification to provide bindings for both Canvas and WebGL. To ensure best performance and portability we decided to adopt the Emscripten C++ compiler toolchain.
It was imperative that we support rich animations, a complete scripting language and support simple distribution methods. It became clear that porting the AVM2 runtime would allow this whilst also enabling a historical wealth of Adobe Flash content for modern Desktop and Mobile Web browsers, which have discontinued the NPAPI and PPAPI plugin APIs.
