<h2>what is it?</h2>
<p>sieni.rip is a project aimed to, at the same time rescurrect the now proclaimed dead <a
href="http://sieni.us">sieni.us</a>, and revitalize it simultaneously. The original
infopage for sieni.us can still be for the time being accessed at <a
href="http://sieni.us/info.php">sieni.us/info.php</a> and it's contents can be still
viewed at <a href="http://sieni.us/index1.php">sieni.us/index1.php</a>. Nevertheless, a as
<a href="https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html#">Flash Player
end-of-life</a> draws near, an update of sorts it warranted.
</p>
<p>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.</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 html server and it's 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 html 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
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 <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>
