Rust alternative for PyGame ?
Another simple 2d framework that targeted wasm and desktop was https://github.com/ryanisaacg/quicksilver but unfortunately it was abandoned :( and never had android support.

I want to learn Rust by creating game running in the web browser. Which SDK do you recommend?
quicksilver, though not really being developed anymore is still pretty good.

Paddlers (Rust Browser Game) 0.2.1 Feature Overview
Thanks! I'm currently not using an engine, it's all done "from scratch". None of the available engines quite had the WASM support I wanted. I started with Quicksilver but it was not flexible enough and it is no longer actively developed.

Good basic rendering & input library
quicksilver is a simple framework you can use. Sadly the main developer stopped working on it (PR's are still accepted though) but it is still pretty solid. It also has WASM as first class support and thus makes sure that its api is a good fit for the limitations that browsers put on code. (So, loading assets is async, your main loop is done using async, etc).

New to Game Dev
Another great option is ggez or, better yet, https://github.com/ggez/good-web-game which is a reimplementation of ggez on more extensible tech (and it runs on web and mobile too)
-
Bevy as ggez replacement for text adventure?
You can target web using ggez via good-web-game https://github.com/ggez/good-web-game

Is there a way to use piston with wasm?
Good Web Game engine that is an implementation of a web compatible subset of the ggez game engine constructed on top of miniquad.
-
Rust alternative for PyGame ?
And, there's a WIP ggez fork built on top of miniquad that targets wasm, android and iOS (but iOS is untested), https://github.com/ggez/good-web-game
-
status of wasm32 support in existing game frameworks/engines
Good Web Game: This is a subset of the ggez game engine in browsers. For example, the game 'Dig Escape' was made in ggez at the start and was then ported to work on the browser using this engine.
-
ggez 0.7.0 released!
the ggez api takes a lot of inspiration from love2d but it doesn't support mobile yet. there's a mobile compatible implementation called good-web-game though
- good-web-game (ggez in browsers) v0.6
- Minimal graphics crate for Rust
