As fast answer I can tell you that there are few examples how to use SDL2 code in GLB, you can check those posts:
https://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=11401.msg100530#msg100530
https://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=11313.msg100666#msg100666
look for attached files, by my self I'm using SDL2 code directly from Inline, don't know if that would work for HTML5, maybe that Import function will be needed.

I'm a little bit late, but is the party still rolling? All The Best for GLB and our community
btw. 20+ years, a lot of time, it means that GLB is an adult

Since then I switched my main pc device several times, and don't have git configured atm, but still have that fixed code somewhere if you wont find it in PM's.

Unleash the power of the pixel and build your next gaming masterpiece with this Fantastic collection of game assets.
From the talented Pixel wizard, Elisier Rodrigues. Fanatical are proud to bring you an incredible lineup of assets, tilesets and much more to bring your gaming projects to life.

That was just a short side project, all calculations done on single thread and still almost 60fps (of course map is small) but it's unachievable for let's say many popular game making solutions Generally standard  A* is good for turn based games, RPG, or when you have few units, as when you introduce proper collisions/tile occupy state there are a lot of problems that you need to take care on. And popular solution is to use regions/portals/waypoints pathfinding globally and fast A* locally when traveling between portals, or when previously calculated path is blocked - so the unit need to find some other way or wait path to clear and so on. And it would be best to do this on separate thread so this also have some requirements - local map data for pathfinding thread... And all that is a 'little' more work that such small project. Hopefully I will revisit pathfinding in this year to tune JPS/regions for proper game.

[Music Producer Pro Pack: Synths & Sounds]

I know what you mean, and on one hand it's good idea as you can focus on coding and other stuff but on other you still need to prepare those sprites to be usable with your code, and later you need to reedit all objects that use such graphic again. But it all depends from the developer and their approach for handling assets.


lately there is so much audio packs avaialble..

[Mix Master Music and Vocals Bundle]

The problem with many of those 'cheaper' tileset assets is that they are missing some kind of tiles for example transition tile from grass to dirt/sand, or they are incomplete - just in basic 8 directions without variations, or character animations have only basic movement/idle states so they are good as some kind of base for something simpler or some sketch / mockups projects, yet I shouldn't also demend to much from such pack's because even with those minor issues they contain a lot of assets and offert great value to their price.
