Fresh Implementation - Complete Rumble System for SSF2

This folder contains everything needed to implement controller rumble/vibration support in a fresh Super Smash Flash 2 engine.

Files Overview

Documentation

• RUMBLE_ANE_INTEGRATION.md - Complete technical documentation of the rumble system

File-Specific Integration Guides

These .as.md files contain the exact code changes needed for each SSF2 file:

• Gamepad.as.md - Core rumble implementation (most important file)
• SaveData.as.md - Settings persistence
• ControlsMenu.as.md - Menu toggle functionality
• TitleMenu.as.md - Title screen feedback
• Character.as.md - Gameplay rumble triggers throughout character actions

ANE Implementation

• RumbleANE/ - Complete Adobe Native Extension for XInput controller access
  • src-as3/ - ActionScript API
  • src-native/ - C++ implementation
  • build.ps1 - Build script
  • packaging/ - ANE packaging files
  • win-x86/, win-x86-64/ - Compiled native libraries

Implementation Order

1. Build the ANE first - Run RumbleANE/build.ps1 to create RumbleANE.ane
2. Update AIR descriptor - Add the extension to SSF2-app.xml
3. Implement Gamepad.as - Core rumble functionality
4. Add settings support - SaveData.as for persistence
5. Menu integration - ControlsMenu.as and TitleMenu.as
6. Gameplay integration - Character.as rumble triggers
