Casual RTS demo ported to WebGPU
Desktop only, the progress bar may go to 98% and sit there for a while but it will eventually load in. For anyone curious, this is an Unreal Engine 5 sample that our team ported to WebAssembly using our custom web pipeline. Demo is not made by us, we just handled the port.

In plain words
Casual RTS demo is a WebAssembly port of an Unreal Engine 5 real-time strategy sample that runs in web browsers on desktop. The demo showcases the team's custom web pipeline for converting Unreal Engine projects to WebAssembly. Loading may take several minutes, with the progress bar potentially pausing at 98 percent before completion. This is a technical demonstration of porting capabilities rather than a finished product.

I've posted this game here before, hopefully a repost is fine as the game has changed quite a bit (improved AI, improved mapeditor, much quicker gameplay, etc). Game is based on JavaScript/Canvas and WebSockets. On the browser side the map is pre-rendered (as a background image), just the mobile units/buildings and animations are dynamically rendered. The lobby server is made in node.js, but the game server is C++ for performance reasons (mainly the pathfinding). I found the C++ WebSocket libraries out there to be too difficult to use so I made my own based on the rfc. Overall I…

Tapflow 2.0▲1,125We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
