Bevy, WASM and the browser

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Bevy compiles to WASM and actually runs inside a browser canvas, using winit to get a canvas and input, wgpu rendering via WebGL2 today and WebGPU soon, and web-sys/js-sys for light multithreading and asset access. The talk lists concrete limitations — no full native libraries, constrained threading model, and networking quirks — and shows patterns for calling between Bevy ECS code and JavaScript, with a working demo that boots in-browser rather than just a roadmap.
