This is LÖVE ported to the web using Emscripten.

It differs from Motor or Punchdrunk in that it is not a reimplementation but a direct port of the existing LÖVE v0.10.0 code with very few code modifications. As such, it should be at feature parity, as long as the browser it's running in supports a given feature.

Here are some live games:

• Mari0
• Friendshape
• Mr. Rescue

• Python 2.7

Python 2.7 will allow you to package your game into a format that Emscripten can read. It will also let you run a simple web server for testing. Python 3.5 is not supported at this time.

1. Clone the repository. git clone https://github.com/TannerRogalsky/love.js.git
2. Clone the submodules: git submodule update --init --recursive

1. Navigate into the debug folder.
2. Package your game.

• python ../emscripten/tools/file_packager.py game.data --preload [path-to-game]@/ --js-output=game.js
• This should output two files: game.data and game.js into the debug folder.
• Make sure you include the '@/' after the path to your game source. This will tell the file packager to place your game at the root of Emscripten's file system.
• Make sure your [path-to-game] does not contain any non ascii characters

1. Run a web server.

• python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000 will work.

2. Open localhost:8000 in the browser of your choice.

1. If everything looks good, nagivate to the release folder. Package and test your game for release.
2. The release-compatibility folder can now be copied to a webserver. A simple static webserver should suffice.

release-compatibility is recommended if the performance it yields is adequate. The difference between compatibility and performance is that performance is compiled with exception catching disabled and memory growth disabled. This means that you will not be able to rely on catching exceptions from C++ in your code and you may need to set TOTAL_MEMORY on the Module object to indicate how much memory your game will require.

Some things, like threads, don't have browser support yet. Please check the project issues for known problems.

Please consider submitting a test. Any functionality that isn't covered in spec/tests would be very useful.

The build process for this project is still a very manual process and is not ready to be shared. Feel free to keep an eye on the emscripten branch of my LÖVE fork if you're really curious.
