# Info - sieni.rip

Back to sieni.rip

## what is it?

sieni.rip is a project aimed to, at the same time rescurrect the now proclaimed dead sieni.us, and revitalize it simultaneously. The original infopage for sieni.us can still be for the time being accessed at sieni.us/info.php and it's contents can be still viewed at sieni.us/index1.php. Nevertheless, a as Flash Player end-of-life draws near, an update of sorts it warranted.

sieni.rip aims to be that update in the time being, and if sieni.us doesn't come back up, for the rest of time.

## how?

For this project, Ruffle is used to play back the same flash animations that were hosted on sieni.us with html5 using canvas and AudioContext together.

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 html server and it's source can be found at git.teascade.net.

If such requirements come up, external server software can be developed to accommodate any needs not provided by regular html servers, but such a time has not yet come.

## issues

Ruffle is still a work-in-progress piece of software, so there are numerous problems with this execution still, 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 also play correctly enough, but still have some notable problems. A list of the id's not available can be found below. Along with this, ruffle also has some bugs, most notably that it does not dispose of it's player properly. This causes sieni.rip to post quite a few errors to the console, which can cause performance issues, especially if the console is open.

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.
