wasm-bindgen about good-web-game HOT 8 OPEN

The recommended way to interop with JS: https://github.com/not-fl3/miniquad/wiki/JavaScript-interop

I am not a huge fan of using any third-party binaries for wasm and prefer just do cargo build --target wasm32-unknown-unknown. In case of gwg the only dependency requiring wasm-bindgen is getrandom (https://github.com/ggez/good-web-game/blob/master/Cargo.toml#L37). I would recommend switching to oorandom

However, if you really want to bring wasm-bindgen binary into the gwg build process here there is a good example for it: https://github.com/smokku/gwg-bindgen

from good-web-game.

Gamepad currently doesnt support WASM but I was in the middle of completing it previously. It is planned eventually to support WASM controllers without bindgen though

Hmm, I removed getrandom, but the problem remains:

If I try to follow the example (using current good-web-game instead of the example repo and using the latest gl.js) I run into the following:

Ah, it seems to be gilrs that's dependent on wasm-bindgen: https://gitlab.com/gilrs-project/gilrs#wasm

from good-web-game.

Ok, using conditional compilation I managed to keep gamepad support, while only disabling it for web and mobile.
It's probably not very elegant, but it works, good-web-game finally runs on the web once again!

But since gilrs is really the only dependency needing wasm-bindgen shouldn't it be possible to write my own bindings for it, keeping users from having to struggle with wasm-bindgen? As I said I'm a wasm and js noob, so I've no idea really, but in theory this should be possible, right? Or perhaps the more sensible way would be to just get wasm-bindgen to work once and then store the generated bindings somewhere, so that users don't have to generate them themselves when after building their projects?

yes, @Bombfuse made a gamepad library that works without wasm-bindgen: github.com/bombfuse/gamepad/

from good-web-game.

Yeah, I stumbled over that library and was close to asking whether you plan on continuing it, because it'd be really useful for gwg.
Good to hear that you do : )
