Cool project. You have used emscripten to port the C code to webassembly? Isn't there a port og GTK done with emscripten? Another way to port to web would be to display the application itself with a different GTK backend. I've tried that with the Broadway backend that can display GTK applications directly in the browser. I've tried it with GNU Backgammon, however I think it fails for GNU Backgammon due to the OpenGL stuff.
How did you make the user interface? Is it pure js or do you use any fancy like React or Angular or Vue? (I guess JavaScript is the next thin on my *must learn* list) Thanks! -Øystein On Sun, Sep 22, 2019 at 9:47 AM Joseph Heled <[email protected]> wrote: > A wonderful initiative.
