<h2>what is it?</h2>
<p>sieni.rip is a project aiming to rescurrect and revitalize the now proclaimed dead <a
href="http://sieni.us">sieni.us</a>. The original
infopage for sieni.us can still be accessed at <a
href="http://sieni.us/info.php">sieni.us/info.php</a>, and its contents can still be
viewed at <a href="http://sieni.us/index1.php">sieni.us/index1.php</a>, but, as the
<a href="https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html#">Flash Player
end-of-life</a> draws near, an update of sorts is warranted.
</p>
<p>sieni.rip aims to be that update for the time being, and if sieni.us doesn't come back up, for
the rest of time.</p>
<h2>how?</h2>
<p>For this project, <a href="https://ruffle.rs">Ruffle</a> is used to play back the same flash
animations that were hosted on sieni.us with html5 using canvas and AudioContext together.
</p>
<p>The HTML and JavaScript for this project have also been entirely re-written in order to more
closely follow modern web-standards. For the time being, the entire website can run on
any regular http server and its source can be found at <a
href="https://git.teascade.net/teascade/sieni.rip">git.teascade.net</a>.</p>
<p>If such requirements come up, external server software can be developed to
accommodate any needs not provided by regular http servers, but such a time has not yet
come.</p>
<h2>issues</h2>
<p>Ruffle is still a work-in-progress piece of software, so there are numerous problems with
it, most notably, some of the animations previously available can not be
found with "next", "previous" or "random", because their emulation is too lacking to display
properly. A few of the animations play correctly enough, but still have some notable
problems. A list of the animations not available at all can be found below. Along with this, ruffle
also has some bugs, most notably that <a href="https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle/issues/876">
it does not dispose of it's player properly</a>. This causes sieni.rip to post quite a few
errors to the console, which can cause performance issues, especially if the console is
open.</p>
<p>Another issue with porting sieni.us to html5 is that modern web browsers follow modern web
standards with autoplay. This means that unless the website is whitelisted with autoplay,
the user must interact (click something, or type something) with the site at least once at
first for the animations to play sound
properly.</p>
