My Flash Animations

Table Of Contents

Back in the early 2000’s, I dabbled a bit with Macromedia Flash 5 and created a few noteworthy animations which will be linked on this page.

Thanks to the magic of Ruffle.rs, a Flash emulator written in Rust, I can restore these Flash objects to their full glory so that they run on modern browsers and devices. Ruffle is a very cool project, and they have a browser add-on that can revive Flash objects on any old website that still has them!

The animations listed here will be sorted by which I think are the more interesting ones on top.

Kanian/Azulian War

This is probably the best animation I’ve ever completed. It’s about a war that’s happening between the Kanians and the Azulians (two species of creature I made up). The Kanians are ridiculously defenseless and they owe the humans a favor for helping save their planet, and the humans are in danger at the hands of the Azulians, who are genetically engineered killing machines. The Kanians have to fight the Azulians to save the humans, but are they getting in way over their heads?

I animated and voice acted this one when I was 15 years old!

Azulian Sacrifice

One of the defining characteristics of the Azulians are that they hunt in packs to take down larger prey. In this short Flash cartoon, the Azulians capture and sacrifice one of the monsters from my other childhood story I wrote, The Land of No Return. Warning: cartoon violence & gore!

Pwnizard, I Choose You!

In a sugar high one night, I started talking about a Pokemon called Pwnizard, in which it’s virtually impossible to win against it, because its mere presence in a battle automatically ensures its victory. This is a quick Flash animation I made using the graphics of Pokemon FireRed Version to illustrate. In this case, Pwnizard has taken the form of a red Rattata, although I’ve always envisioned Pwnizard looking like something useless, like Magikarp, to add to the irony of how ridiculously powerful it is).

AiChaos Warners

From 2003 to 2005 I worked on a site called AiChaos, Inc. (formerly known as Chaos A.I. Technology), which was a site about the programming of Instant Messenger Chatterbots. For the bots that chatted on AOL Instant Messenger, their main problem was AIM’s warning system. Almost anybody could warn the bot plus 20% and that had a negative impact on the bot’s ability to chat (a form of Denial-of-Service attack). This is a short Flash animation I put up to give the warners a piece of my mind.

DOS Text Copy Tutorial

From my old AiChaos chatbot site, I made this simple animation to teach my fellow botmakers how to highlight and copy text from their MS-DOS prompt, so that they could copy error messages and better ask for support on the Bot-Depot web forums.
