Asm-Blox - A Game Based on WebAssembly That No One Asked For

Explore the creation of asm-blox, a WebAssembly-based game, in this 16-minute conference talk from EmacsConf 2022. Dive into the game's architecture, inspired by TIS-100, and learn about WebAssembly's core concepts including stack operations, numeric commands, boolean operations, and control flow. Discover how modules are implemented and tackle a sample puzzle. Examine the game loop, a tic-tac-toe implementation, and various Emacs-specific features like text properties, code cells, and undo functionality. Gain insights into handling parentheses and converting assembly text to executable code. This talk provides a unique perspective on combining WebAssembly and Emacs for game development.
