Meeting 5 - Feb 8th

[robertlong]

Agenda

• Updates on the experiments
• API design
• High level WASM UGC concepts

[Trensharo]

Last Meeting- Discussed experimental projects to test simple concepts.

cdata

• Working on a project embedding WebAssembly
• 3D Renderer that runs with parody in web browser and as a native binary
• Hot load in browser and native binary
• Wants to try to homogenize the spaces

Robert

• Nate has been working on DOD integration library - https://github.com/Web-ECS/dod-three
• Robert wants to build on top of this project
• Wants to get started on this within a WASM concept

[Trensharo]

What to do with these projects?

• Come up with useful applications of the base proofs of concept.

• Have others try to apply the code in a different context to spur feedback and ideation.

• Presentations can include barebones demos of how to actually create these WASM scripts

How to potentially apply this with engines such as Unity?

• For C# - Blazor is a web app feature - https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/apps/aspnet/web-apps/blazor
• -Robert provided this info
• -This may be helpful for those with Unity and C# experience
• Take a look at VRChat's UdonSharp compiler for an example of application of a similar concept - https://github.com/vrchat-community/UdonSharp
• -Robert provided this info
• There is an experimental project by dotnet that works with C# as a WASM compiler - https://github.com/dotnet/runtimelab/tree/feature/NativeAOT-LLVM
• -Adam provided this info
• https://medium.com/@scottwaye/doom-fire-in-the-browser-using-c-12128c3f4c94

[Trensharo]

What are the WASM engines?

• https://github.com/appcypher/awesome-wasm-runtimes
• Plenty of options to choose from
• Wasmtime and Wasmer are likely the most supported.

[Trensharo]

Recruitment

• We could do a social media push
• Maybe get a video created
• Put up embedded demos of work - Mozilla hubs, webiverse

Potential Collaborators to invite

• Feather Devs - Minecraft Server with WASM integration - https://feathermc.org/
• Neos Devs - https://neos.com/
• Mozilla Devs?

[Trensharo]

Jin will share a discord event for Friday/Saturday about joining with a Neos meetup
