How to run Flash games (Patreon)

Content
All my games are made in Flash, a format unsupported by most browsers from now on.
Converting it into other langage/format would be far too big a task, for the time being.
So here's how to run it, if your browser don't allow the game to start properly or you don't have any other flashplayer software installed yet that runs my games :
1. If you downloaded an archive (.zip or .rar file) of one of my games :
It's not the game itself, it's a compacted directory (hence the name "archive") that you'll need to extract/unpack, to access the game file(s).
Download an unpacking software, install it, and use it on the .zip or .rar files to extract them .
There's various free unpacking softwares to be found.
Here's two examples, if you need :
- Winrar : https://www.win-rar.com/start.html?&L=10
- 7zip : https://www.7-zip.org/
2. If you downloaded a flash file (.swf file) directly :
You'll need Adobe Flash Projector, a standalone program that allows you to run Flash files (local or via urls) without the need of a browser.
Download and use one of the file attached to this post, depending on your OS :
- For Windows : flashplayer_32_sa.exe
- For Mac : flashplayer_32_sa.dmg
- For Linux : flash_player_sa_linux.x86_64.tar.gz
And to launch flash games, in Flash Projector, click 'file' then 'open', then select your local .swf game files.
And you're done!
Games should load and let you play smoothly from there ;)
