hy - a prototype UGC platform

Background

This was a prototype game engine that experimented with some novel ideas. It resulted in server side scripting in TypeScript through deno.js, and a functional, performant client written in Rust and compiled to wasm.

It was assmebled in two weeks by:

• [@HexyWitch]
• [@cwfitzgerald]
• [@forginater]
• [@pwc]
• [@kanerogers]

and was funded by the team at Hytopia.

Goals

• Allow web developers to make games with familiar tools

Preflight checklist

• npm installed
• rustup installed
• rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
• cargo install wasm-pack

Getting started

1. Check out the repo
2. Run ./go.sh
3. Run curl -vvv -X POST localhost:8888/test_script.js (currently hangs the event loop)
