WASM-4 is a fantasy console that can run games written in any language that compiles to WebAssembly.
This game jam has a $2500 prize pool, sponsored by our friends at Wasmer!
All games published to WAPM will opt-in automatically for the prize 🎉 (Important: packages should appear in the WAPM WASM-4 page). Check instructions on how to publish a WASM-4 package to WAPM here: https://github.com/wasmerio/wasm4-on-wapm
Wasmer is the most popular WebAssembly runtime, WASM-4 recently started supporting it as a runtime for running the Wasm games.
WAPM is the package manager to distribute the WebAssembly applications anywhere, and it can serve as perfect place to store WASM-4 games.
Here's a video from our first game jam that's a good intro to how WASM-4 works.
WASM-4 includes direct support for AssemblyScript, C, C++, D, Go, Nelua, Nim, Odin, Rust, WAT, Zig. Other languages have also been used. See the website for full documentation!
