openEtG VS actix-web

For an example of binsearch algo, I recently dipped into this while switching some code from floats to fixed point arithmetic (reducing overall wasm blob size)

This seems pretty low level. When I wanted async wasm execution (to run multithreaded game ai simulation or to run game ai outside of UI thread) I was able to go with WebWorkers: https://github.com/serprex/openEtG/blob/master/src/AiWorker....

Having the async at the WASM level would help avoid having overhead from serialize/deserialize between web workers. I wrote this years ago, so not sure what progress has been made for having the wasm module running multiple threads. On that front you may still be better off spawning multiple wasm modules

(( dunno which version you're trying, cuz there've been a lot of fan versions after the original went down, but this should be the one most people use ))

Check out the spiritual successor, openEtG: https://etg.dek.im

This one? https://etg.dek.im/

If you want a reference to a real code base, there's openEtG's handleget.rs

Very straight forward changes. Emailed Ashley about helping, no response

Updates to wasm-bindgen shouldn't require a change to wasm-pack. It should expose ways to pass flags down & not have an explicit dependency on wasm-bindgen version

While having a webpack plugin is nice, I since gave up on wasm-pack & added a build-wasm to my package.json's scripts: https://github.com/serprex/openEtG/commit/9997fb098d168920bb...

This way if someone wants to contribute to openetg they don't need to install my wasm-pack fork

Join us on the official Discord https://discord.gg/qAmfB8T and we can walk you through it. There is a spiritual successor to the game (https://etg.dek.im) and a revival of the game. There are also several methods to still play the original.

Elements. Strictly speaking, this is a collectable card game (MtG style) rather than a true "deckbuilder" but otherwise it sounds exactly like what you are looking for. Heavy emphasis on creative out-of-match deckbuilding and one-off PvE matches. From what I can tell, I think the original game died with Flash, but it appears that fans created a substitute, which I haven't tried: https://etg.dek.im/

Actix Web Documentation: Detailed documentation on using Actix-web, including examples and best practices for building web applications with Rust.

I can't speak to the "is it any good" part, but (after a bit of research) I can share what I've found. I'll try to represent things as best as I understand, but I may have some finer details mixed up.

ntex is written by the same person that started actix-web, Nikolay Kim (fafhrd91 on GitHub). There was a bunch of drama a while back due to actix-web using (what many reasoned to be) avoidable unsafe code, which was later found to be buggy. Nikolay was pilloried online, resulting in him transferring leadership of actix-web to someone else. ntex is, as I understand it, essentially Nikolay picking back up on his ideals for what could have been actix-web, if people hadn't pushed him out of his own project.

How ntex compares to the pre-/post-leadership change of actix-web, I don't know.

Here are some jumping points if you want more of the backstory.

Are you ready to embark on another journey in Rust? Today, we'll explore how to create a REST API that performs basic mathematical operations: addition, multiplication, and division. We'll use Actix, a powerful web framework for Rust, together with Rhai, a lightweight scripting language, to achieve our goal.

Within actix-web, middleware is used as a medium for being able to add general functionality to a (set of) route(s) by taking the request before the handler function runs, carrying out some operations, running the actual handler function itself and then the middleware does additional processing (if required). By default, actix-web has several default middlewares that we can use, including logging, path normalisation, access external services and modifying application state (through the ServiceRequest type).

Rust is a popular system programming language, known for its robust memory safety features and exceptional performance. While Rust was originally a system programming language, its application has evolved. Now you can see Rust in different app platforms, mobile apps, and of course, in web apps — both in the frontend and backend, with frameworks like Rocket, Axum, and Actix making it even easier to build web applications with Rust.
