An archived build of Machinations v4.05 by Joris Dormans (2009–2013), with an additional auto-scaling wrapper for modern screen resolutions.
This repository is based on the preserved and resized builds from DleanJeans/Machinations.
This repository exists to preserve access to the legacy Flash-based desktop version for educational, research, and offline use.
💡 WHY
The modern web-based version at https://machinations.io requires a stable internet connection.
For users with unreliable or limited connectivity, this legacy build allows:
- Fully offline usage.
- Local experimentation.
- Educational reference.
This repository includes the archived SWF, resized variants, and an auto-scaling build for modern screen resolutions.
