We implemented async BSD sockets stuff, enough to run ENet basically. It uses websockets or WebRTC under the hood. Neither is a "normal" TCP channel, but you can convert. For example see the emscripten tests/test_sockets.py test suite for sockets stuff, it runs native servers and wraps then with websockify, which makes a TCP server into a websockets server.
This should work in any browser supporting websockets and/or webRTC binary messages. Websockets is widely supported. WebRTC binary was only in firefox nightly back when the demo came out, hopefully it's more widespread by now. Note that the demo uses webRTC, but it could be changed to use websockets. Ping ack on the emscripten irc channel regarding the bananabread server he was maintaining. - Alon On Fri, Jun 20, 2014 at 8:47 AM, Mike Kasprzak <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Alon, > > I was curious if I could get you to comment a bit on UDP networking and > the Enet port found inside Bananabread.
