(SOLVED) What Flash game creation software is available for Linux?

Over the past few months I'v started to teach myself to program. I'v got the basics of a few languages and decided I want to try making Flash games. My problem is I can't find any software to do this on Linux and very few for any OS at all (searched with pacman and google). Are there any packages in the repositories/aur for this? If not what about sources on Github, etc.?

Why in the world would you want to learn something that is quickly dying? Adobe even announced a EOL for 2020.

Javascript and HTML5 come to mind.   Is it all client side, or is there a server coordinating things between multiple clients?

I second what Scimmia and ewaller have said, stay away from flash as far as you can. You can google for: javascript, html5, webgl, webassembly and anything else modern and forward looking that you may come across during your searches.

Thanks for the quick replies, guys! I'm already started (not great but I have a good footing with) html5, css and php for the website it'self. The Kongregate API (one language anyway) is in javascript so that's probably the route I'll go but I'll look into webgl and webassembly.
