This post contains a relatively unimpressive screenshot that actually shows a very important achievement 🙂

Things we are working on right now in [Castle Game Engine](https://castle-engine.io/):

1. [Web target](https://castle-engine.io/web).

Yes, it means what you think 🙂 Just recompile any Castle Game Engine project to run in a modern WWW browser! No plugins of course, it’s using JS + WebAssembly, it just works.

What we have: We have a CGE branch with _build tool_ that can execute `castle-engine compile --target=web` and then `castle-engine run --target=web` to:

  - build a wrapper using [Pas2js](https://getpas2js.freepascal.org/),

  - then build your game using [FPC for WebAssembly](https://wiki.freepascal.org/WebAssembly),

  - generate skeleton HTML file with `<canvas>` element,

  - run a HTTP server (just `compileserver` from pas2js, on port 3000),

  - run a WWW browser to open `http://localhost:3000/` and execute Pas2js-generated JavaScript that in turn runs the WebAssembly code.

  - The WebAssembly code initializes log (you will see typical CGE log messages in both the browser console and in HTML content), and then opens `TCastleWindow` with a special WebAssembly backend…

  - …and, nothing more yet 🙂 TODO: We fail at the moment we want to use `glGetString`. Next steps are known, we need to use WebGL from WebAssembly, and the way to do this seems to use `TJSWebGL2RenderingContext` from `job_web`. Stay tuned!

More information (what we have, what we plan) on the [dedicated web target docs](https://castle-engine.io/web).

2. [IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) format support](https://castle-engine.io/ifc).

3. [Collaborative editing of 3D world using Castle Game Engine and mORMot2](https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-and-mormot-collaborative-editing/).

Have fun with _Castle Game Engine_! And if you like what we do — [please support us](https://castle-engine.io/donate)!
