PanfuJs was/is my attempt to recreate the old flash client in pure html5 and js. This is to start my own panfu website just for fun and nostalgia.
When i was playing on a private server years ago and heard about flash being deprecated by 2021 i was like why not recreate this as a project for school. I got far and actually made something that worked in js and canvas but my knowledge was really limited. It was really messy and a few years later i decided to rewrite it with an engine kind of approach so that implementing stuff would be better. After looking at many options i decided to go for P̶i̶x̶i̶J̶s̶ Phaser as renderer/engine and here we are.
And let's be real here.. flash emulators or older chromium containers aren't really a solution but just a patch for a problem that should be solved.
Because it's fun and i think AAA engines are way to heavy for a game like this. It's like putting a race engine in to a small car. will it work?! probably... is it resource hungry and impractical hell yea.
You may contribute if you want. i want this client to be open source for the community.
Be sure to contact me if you still have the full flash client, I'd love to add more stuff in to this.
