shapeme VS Wails

This reminds me of a project I found by Antirez (the creator of Redis) recently called shapeme: https://github.com/antirez/shapeme - which uses simulated annealing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulated_annealing to approximate an image using triangles. It took me down a really interesting rabbit hole: "The name of the algorithm comes from annealing in metallurgy, a technique involving heating and controlled cooling of a material to increase the size of its crystals and reduce their defects."

I thought it was really interesting that a useful algorithm like this was created and possibly influenced by a natural process. I wonder if this repo uses the same type of algorithm?

This is basically the same tech stack of an app I’ve been planning to build, but deployed as a desktop application using Wails: https://github.com/wailsapp/wails

Wails 2.6k

The wails project does this when. You can check it out here https://github.com/wailsapp/wails/blob/master/v2/internal/typescriptify/typescriptify.go for inspection.

I have built Web front-ends (React or Svelte) with Go-backend. Embed in a web-view to make it a native desktop app, or get funky and give it native chrome/menus etc. [Wails](https://github.com/wailsapp/wails) is a good candidate to start if you want to cut on boiler plate.

Is that what wails is doing here? (On mobile)

In a "local" environment, where an executable can be provided to someone with the entire game contents. In this case, the game won't use WebSockets, and will instead use a Go/JS bridge (something like Wails) to connect.
