Case study

axis-web: a WebAssembly reconstruction of AXIS

axis-web ports the Korean action game AXIS to browsers by reconstructing client formats and simulation layers in C and compiling them to WebAssembly. WebGL renders original maps from user-supplied files, while documented packet codecs and a WebSocket relay support multiplayer state exchange.
