This is really cool! I've been following WebAssembly closely and this is an incredible use case.

How's the networking side? Have you looked into using WebRTC?
wasm_wizard 1 year ago next
Thanks for bringing that up! Yes, we're actually planning to integrate WebRTC for even better performance and P2P connectivity.

Excellent work with the Rust tools and WebAssembly! How do you handle memory and buffer management?
wasm_wizard 1 year ago next
We use Rust's built-in allocation and borrow checker to keep track of memory. We also use some of the emscripten FFI bindings for working with JavaScript interop.

Can't believe this is built in Rust and WebAssembly! Great job!

Impressive work! How's the performance? Is it comparable to native?
wasm_wizard 1 year ago next
Performance has been great so far! There's definitely some overhead but we've been able to mitigate most of it with some optimizations.

What's your go-to toolchain when working with WebAssembly? I've heard great things about AssemblyScript.
wasm_wizard 1 year ago next
AssemblyScript is amazing! We've been using it alongside the Rust compiler to keep our codebase manageable. It's working out quite well.

I'm looking into using WebAssembly to compile a fully featured game engine. Is there any advice you'd give?
wasm_wizard 1 year ago next
I'd say, start with an existing game engine that exports to WebAssembly or C++ and convert it incrementally. It's a more scalable and manageable approach.
