Starling is an open-source 2D framework for ActionScript developers that leverages GPU acceleration via Adobe's Stage3D API to create smooth, high-performance games and applications across desktop and mobile platforms. It mimics the traditional Flash display list while dramatically improving performance, making it a popular choice for Flash developers transitioning into more efficient, hardware-accelerated environments.

...This extension adds graphics primitives (fills, strokes, planes etc.) that mimic flash.display.Graphics-style drawing but implemented in a GPU-friendly manner. It automatically triangulates vector shapes, letting developers use familiar drawing APIs but get performance benefits of GPU rendering via Starling. Starling is an ActionScript 3 library that mimics the conventional Flash display tree architecture. In contrast to conventional display objects, however, Starling "lives" entirely inside the Stage3D environment. That means that all objects are rendered directly by the GPU, which leads to a significant performance boost.

The Starling Extension Particle System is an ActionScript extension for the Starling framework that enables developers to integrate particle effects created with the "Particle Designer" tool by 71squared into Starling-based applications. The demo-directory contains a sample project. To compile it, add a reference to the Starling library and add the source directory that contains the particle system classes. The project contains 4 sample configurations. Switch between configurations in...

ND2D is a 2D game framework for Flash that uses Stage3D / Molehill (i.e. the GPU acceleration in newer Flash Player versions). It allows game developers to build 2D games with lots of sprites, leveraging GPU for better performance. It includes display tree constructs, sprite sheets, particle systems, cameras, post-processing etc., made to simplify building high-performance 2D content in Flash. ND2D was built to make an ease use of hardware accelerated 2D content in the Flashplayer. The aim is to keep things simple and reintroduce familiar concepts. ND2D has a displaylist and quite the same methods to modify sprites as you are used to, but a few things are different. ...

...It is inspired by FlashPunk: it gives structure (entities, worlds), collision detection systems, tile maps, etc., and is intended to help developers organize 2D game code more cleanly while benefiting from Starling’s performance. It has features for quick prototyping and reusing code between projects. Organizing game objects into Worlds, Entities, with type-based grouping etc. Manage entity drawing order via depth/layer so that scenes render properly in order (foreground/background, etc.)
