sandspiel Ruffle See A Satellite Tonight Can I use Extism
  1. Welcome, and thanks for coming by! I hope that you enjoy exploring this small game, and it brings you some calm. Growing up, "falling sand" games like this one provided me hours of entertainment and imagination.

    <i>shrug</i> It finds its uses. It's just not that overstated. Sandspiel is quite popular and is built using WASM: https://sandspiel.club/ Google Earth - https://blog.chromium.org/2019/06/webassembly-brings-google-earth-to-more.html Ruffle (the "make Flash run safely" tool) - https://ruffle.rs/ Ableton's Learning Synths - https://learningsynths.ableton.com/ etc etc. It's just hard to tell when something is using WASM when it "just works" and is indistinguishable from optimized JavaScript.

  3. Free web app to explore satellite locations.
    I bet it is used in a lot of ways people don't notice. In my site[1] I use wasm to run an ancient piece of code called SGP4, but it's totally invisible to the user. Someone actually ported SGP4 to JavaScript but it's slower and doesn't perfectly match the original, so it's great to have the option to run the real C version (actually the original is Fortran but the C port is the standard these days).

    I'm developing a wasm game, and currently I am targeting WebGL2 in order to run in iOS Safari. Me (and others, I'm sure) are currently waiting for WebGPU [1] to land in Safari so it will make sense to target it. WebGPU allows for simplified porting of desktop apps to the web, such as WGSL shaders [2] WebGPU will be the next big thing, and currently it is enabled on Chrome Windows/macOS, and can be enabled in Firefox Nightly with a config setting. Hopefully, 2024 will be the year of WebGPU! 1: https://caniuse.com/?search=webgpu 2: https://www.w3.org/TR/WGSL/.
