Arculator WASM

This one doesn't appear to work - doesn't even draw a screen image on the page.

Hm, that's the only one that's loading from a disc image rather than an archive. And it only seems to not work if I middle click to load in a background tab. If I open it directly, it seems to work. Fun async bugs!

Oh yeah. That's what I see too. Weird

However, the user would still need to click on the Hamsters icon in the iconbar to play it. Is there any way the !Run file within the !Hamsters directory can be invoked, so the game just works with minimal intervention?

I've finally implemented the auto-click for games that need it, here you go: https://archi.medes.live/#disc=hamsters&autoboot

And here's the Fervour demo, another one that starts on the icon bar: https://archi.medes.live/#disc=fervour-demo&autoboot

Is that even actually playable? I appear to have no control other than start/stop... I'm sure moving the mouse should move left/right, no?

EDIT: Oh, it's stuck in keyboard mode - even though mouse can start forward motion - that's really stupid. I'm not sure "auto start" is such a smart idea on things with no way to know what the controls are and only edit with the desktop thingy.

[pdjstone]

Yes, Fervour is an odd one in having it's configuration on the desktop instead of in game. I do want to add a "quick controls reminder" to most games on Archimedes Live that show you what keys to use when the game loads.

Come and chat with pdjstone about how he ported Arculator to WASM over a pint at ROUGOL on Monday 15th May. Details here - viewtopic.php?f=61&t=26944

Wonderful! Many thanks indeed!
