'''[http://portal.wecreatestuff.com/ Portal: The Flash Version]''' is a two dimensional game made with {{W|Adobe Flash}} based on Valve's ''[[Portal]]''. It features the same environment and testing elements as Portal does, while even introducing some new features of its own. This game has also been recreated into the Portal Software Development Kit (Source SDK) and released as a [[Portal: The Flash Version MapPack|Map-Pack]]. Some of the levels are included in the {{W|XBOX Live Arcade}} version of ''Portal'', ''[[Portal: Still Alive]]''. Some of the levels and mechanics used in this mod have also been "borrowed" over into a few other Map-Packs, or "Mods". This can most commonly be found in the [[Portal: Prelude]] mod, which uses the Electricity Field and a few of the levels used in the flash version.
 
Despite the Flash plugin being deprecated and disabled across browsers at December 2020, this game is still playable.
*Ruffle is a browser extension that allows the user to access Flash content, including this game by extension.
*Flashpoint is an application that added Portal: The Flash Version to its library on January 12th, 2019.
*Users who happen to still own old versions of Flash and downloaded files of PTFV can continue to play offline through that method.
 
== Overview ==
[[File:portal_the_flash_version_menu.png|400px|thumb|right|Screenshot of the Main menu]]
The game starts with the words "''Good morning subject 15837. It is time to begin your test.''" after which the first "task" (which is what the game familiarizes the test chambers as) starts with the use of the ASHPD or [[Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device|Portal Gun]]. The text on top of the screen suggests that the subject might not be familiar with the facility, but explains that they need to exit the rooms. The first task where the player can be killed in is Task: 10, where a ledge the player needs to Portal over is introduced. The first encounter with a dangerous mechanic happens in Task: 11, with a modified "Crusher" used in the [[Portal Teaser Trailer (video)|trailer for Portal]]. Most of these tasks do not require precise timing, except for a few tasks featuring the High Energy Pellet (known as Combine Balls in the Half-Life Universe) or the dangerous "Electricity Field", that lights up for four seconds at a time and then pauses for three seconds.
 
== Items and Mechanics ==
The game uses most of the mechanics that are used in the original Portal, but it also uses some scrapped and totally new mechanics as well. Here is a list of the mechanics that weren't used in the original ''Portal'' but made it to ''Portal 2'' from the flash version. ''[[Portal: Still Alive]]'', being largely based off of [[Portal: The Flash Version MapPack|the MapPack]] and thus the Flash Version, includes all of the features introduced in those titles.

== Trivia ==
* One of the things that made Portal: The Flash Version viral is the preservation of momentum. Even though it is a 2D game, preservation of momentum is very hard to code in practice.
* In task 16 as the player is passing the first Blue plasma wall, a character carrying a briefcase (presumably [[hl2:The G-Man|The G-Man]] from the Half-Life series) can be seen walking behind the window.
