  1. emscripten

    Emscripten: An LLVM-to-WebAssembly Compiler

    Only half true. Emscripten implements the SDL 1.2 (and also SDL_mixer 1.2) API in Javascript here: https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/blob/main/src/.... On the other hand SDL 2 (and SDL_mixer 2) are proper ports (which you linked to).

    So there's quite a size penalty to using SDL 2 rather than SDL 1.2.

  3. hello-rust-sdl2-wasm

    A Rust repo which uses SDL2 for user interaction, and which can be run locally or compiled to WASM and run on the web

  4. symbiants

    Ant Colony Sim + Daily Mental Health Exercises

    https://github.com/MeoMix/symbiants Here's my open source game written in Rust and compiled to WASM if you want more reading material :) It uses Bevy not SDL2, though.

  5. bevy

    A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust

  6. pixels

    A tiny hardware-accelerated pixel frame buffer. 🦀

    https://github.com/parasyte/pixels

    That gives you a simple software framebuffer, and it builds as a native app or for the web.
