With the dawn of a new age in web technology, it would be neat to be able to have one's U++ program compile to Web Assembly and run on any web browser!

Hello,

We developed the ability to run u++ application inside the web browser using JavaScript. If you are interested you can check WebWorld (examples assembly). You can compile it by your own.

The current problem now is that WebAssembly doesn't support direct c++ api for events etc. Everything should be done on JS side. But, I see the big potential in the future when the biggest drawbacks will be eliminated.

Sincerely,
Klugier

Klugier,

It will be nice when JS isn't needed any more.

Finally found it, the Unreal Engine demo making use of Web Assembly:

Wonder how they implemented their use of events?

Hello,

Thanks for tech demo. I am pretty sure that events is handle by calling web assemblies code from java scirpt (like bindings to other languages).

Sicnerely,

Here's another demo, "Tanks! Demo":

Looks like they have a Unity tutorial titled, "Unity - Tanks Tutorial":

How is that a problem? It should be possible to wire JS events to C++, similiar to how it is done in WebWorld...

Hello,

It is not a problem, but it requires additional language layer that can be avoid on the library level. For example in Android, Google allows event handling on C++ level.
