## What it is
Starling is a hardware-accelerated 2D game engine written in ActionScript 3, built on Adobe AIR's Stage3D API. It mimics the classic Flash display tree while rendering everything on the GPU, and deploys to iOS, Android, desktop, and browsers from a single codebase.

## Use cases
- build a 2d mobile game with actionscript
- gpu-accelerated flash-style display list rendering
- deploy one codebase to ios android and desktop
- create particle effects and sprite sheet animations
- port a flash game to mobile with adobe air

## When to choose
- you are an ActionScript 3 / Adobe AIR developer building 2D games
- you want a lightweight, readable engine with a familiar Flash-like API
- you need GPU-accelerated rendering with battery-friendly frame skipping

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project outside the Flash/AIR ecosystem
- you need 3D rendering or modern engine ecosystems like Unity or Godot
- your team does not work in ActionScript
