HTML5 improvements

[Kitty Hello]

I copy the icon.png to the distribute folder.
I managed to get ASYNCIFY running. Now infinite loops with SHOWSCREEN will work - which makes DDGui's combo boxes etc. fully working. But also, all code should just run without any modifications. I don't think performance will be an issue anymore. Today's mobile phones are more powerfull than the computers we had when experimenting with emscripten/html5.

Here's what I did - but it does not beep on my Android mobile Firefox

I pushed my changes to git.

I confirm it doesn't play on Firefox mobile and I also add Google Chrome mobile
How can I access git for changes?

[Paul Smith]

I love it when updates and fixes are being worked on, But I have the same question as Qedo. Does a push to GIT mean it will start to roll out on a STEAM update or do we have to do something manually?

[Paul Smith]

Confirmed your Bleep does not work on Android Firefox.

I noticed firefox can be a little particular with sound as can Chrome, I tried a few settings for a bleep and in the end I used WAV 8/16bit 16/22/41 khz stereo(Mono didn't work) and these works on all platforms so far.

My Key click sound works on Firefox on my android.

This is a work in progress and once its sorted I will create a thread with all the little things I discovered on my journey like how to get the full phone resolution not the 360x760ish, Audio formats, reading the screen width and height

Nice work guys!
I have to get into hltml5 at some point soon.
Probably not game related but for a few tools.

GLOBAL a$  = NETWEBGET$("jsonplaceholder.typicode.com","/users?_limit=3",80,2048, 5000)

any idea because in GLBasic  work and in HTML5 no?  bug?

[Paul Smith]

Not used that command, but others like NETWEBEND dont work.

I've been short on time this month and was looking into using alternative inline for NETWEBEND. I have two methods that need Ironing out. This code is from a google search. And needs formatting correctly.

    INLINE
    #include <emscripten.h>
    emscripten_run_script("window.open(\"" + url$ + "\", \"_blank\");");
    ENDINLINE

the other is

INLINE
    #include <emscripten.h>

    EM_ASM_({
        window.open(url, '_blank');  // Open the URL in a new tab
    }, url$);
   
    ENDINLINE

Not tried the first one but the second one opens a page, just not the right link. 
Hopefully someone smarter than me will fix this is seconds.

[Kitty Hello]

it's url_Str. The $ is replaced by _Str in C++.

[Qedo]

Paul, but can you compile these 2 examples in html5?
stop compiling because;

"fatal error: too many errors emitted, stopping now [-ferror-limit=]
20 errors generated."

[Paul Smith]

I can't seem to use strings. This won't compile 
}, url$);  or {, url_Str);
The version I was supposed to show was  }); that just opens a new tab. It does compile but just a blank page.

This code does work and will open the correct page, strange thing is the // shows as comments after the https: but compiles fine.

INLINE
        EM_ASM({
       window.open('https://www.glbasic.com', '_blank');
    });
   ENDINLINE

Hope this helps

[Qedo]

for me impassable road nothing works.  Thanks anyway

[Qedo]

for my app (server-client) I will change (sigh) to Js and node.js

I have a hope, I will try the latest updates  of html5 from git
