gif.js.c's Introduction

gif.js.c

WARNING! The project is in active development. Nothing is finished. Anything can break at any moment without any notice.

A fork and rewrite of gif.js library. The idea is to rewrite majority of the code of gif.js in C and compile it down to WebAssembly using Clang without Emscripten.

This is needed for our secret project emoteJAM. I think GIF rendering process is a bit slow for what it's doing and I think we can speed it up by moving all of the number crunching to WebAssembly.

Why not just Emscripten the giflib library?

Emscripten adds unnecessary complexity to our simple project and giflib is doing way more than what we need. gif.js hits the sweetspot between the complexity and the functionality. It's perfect for Our Project. I just want it to be faster.

<My Favorite Lang> can also compile to WebAssembly. Why not just use <My Favorite Lang> instead of C?

For the same reason I don't wanna use Emscripten. I would even prefer to program this directly in WAT, but unfortunately I don't have that much time.
