Smooth, polished, fast-loading game
From 4 comments
Wow, that is a really well polished, completed, and neat little game. Makes for a great WebAssembly demo given how quickly it loads and how much value you get out of it. It runs…
shurcooL on HNThis looks amazing and is buttery smooth. Loads and runs faster than most webpages even. Takes even less than 10% of my CPU (i5-5200U). Really excited about what WebAssembly…

Source is opaque WebAssembly, hard to learn from

This represents simultaneously everything that makes me hopeful about WASM - a really clean, fun and nice game that performs super well - and everything that makes me dread it. I…

Does not run in some browsers, such as Firefox on Linux and older Chrome
From 2 comments
I just get "Sorry, but your browser does not yet support WebAssembly." I'm on Firefox/Linux. Other WASM demos work, so I'm pretty sure that's a bug. :)
shodan757 on HNOn my Linux Chrome with version 55 - it says, "Sorry, but your browser does not yet support WebAssembly."

Background music fails on some browsers due to sample rate

Background music does not work for me (Fx/Win10). Devtools console says "Unsupported sample rate : 48000"

Better browser dev tools for reading WebAssembly
From 1 comment
Good information, thanks. I was hoping that mapping data would be an inherit trait of WebAssembly, as I too prefer how open source frontend languages are. I'm very excited for…

Support for configurable audio sample rate in browsers
From 1 comment

This is amazing, and it runs soooo well. At the same time it makes me miss Flash. I know it's easy to hate on flash, it was kinda buggy/slow and it was also crazily insecure. But…

Unity WebGL export
From 1 comment
Speaking of WebAssembly and games, has anyone tried building their Unity projects in WebGL and exporting in Web Assembly? I hear they have that feature in the latest 5.6 version
