Little Red Box
It may not look like much but this little red box is the start of a personal project which I hope will continue on for quite some time. It was in fact the reason why I built this website. You see back in the Summer of last year I was working on my own rendering engine as a learning project. It was a few months after that I learnt of WebAssembly and that I could take my engine and render it directly in any compatible browser. One day I want to work in the video game industry so I thought that it might be a good showcase of my skills if I can demo directly in the browser. Through some inspiration I realized I could post along as I write the code in the form of live demoes. And this, although very simple, is the start of that. I also want to use this website as an opportunity to play around in the Rust programming language. I like the idea that a whole project need not be made in one language and that in fact Rust is a good language with it's useful FFI and interoperability. I would like to show that it is possible to link C++ and Rust together in a WebAssembly project. The code for this simple demo is below.
