   A minimal working Rust / SDL2 / WASM browser game▲82

   "Game" is a stretch, but I put together this repo containing a pure Rust app which uses SDL2 and compiles to WASM (and can be run in a browser). Older resources were a bit out of date and a bit too verbose for my purposes, so here's a minimal working example.

   Ambient, a multiplayer game engine and platform using WASM/WebGPU/Rust▲90

   Earlier this year, we released our open-source game engine [0] built with Rust, WebAssembly, and WebGPU. Today, we’re happy to announce the Ambient platform, which brings web deployment, server hosting, and more to the runtime. With Ambient, you can make a game, deploy it to the browser in one command, share your URL and instantly play with others, no downloads or installs needed. Our WASM use is innovative; it is being used as both a sandboxed runtime for user code, and as a way to run the entire Ambient runtime in the browser.

    You Are Merlin – a Rust CLI and WASM Text Adventure Game▲12

    This is my first Rust project which I got a bit carried away with. It was a great way to learn different parts of Rust and had jump some hurdles when building for WASM, like not having access to loops, std or DateTime. I'd appreciate any feedback of improvements, new features or themes to add. Thanks! Github: https://github.com/hseager/you-are-merlin
