The first attempt was a full on x86asm->webasm transpiler which ran into some difficult stack issues.
The second attempt was successful via conversion from x86asm->c->emscripten->wasm [0]. It plays pretty well on mobile and just about any browser now.
Fair warning it is pretty difficult to win, unless you can figure out where the enemy weaknesses are [1].

I designed Silent Shark to be the sweet spot of minimalism meeting realism of dials and procedures (like a simulated Torpedo Data Computer) that scratches my simmer geek itch without being impossible to write the game myself.

https://asunder.co/montegrid - Mainly working on a Monte Carlo Excel plugin that can run on Mac. Standard scientific computing shenanigans ... one benefit of everything being Javascript is that one can use Rust -> WASM everywhere :)
Also maintaining weaving software (https://asunder.co/bower) which has so many fun puzzles in discrete math and combinatorial optimization to think about.
Cool to see everyone else's projects!
Built overwhelmingly in vanilla JS with a couple of WASM modules for it.
It’s generally very performant across the app so far, but there’s still a handful of features that are functional but subpar in terms of performance that I need to address.
