| Plays at ~3fps and with a ~1s latency on all interactions on Firefox, MBP2015 :( Slightly better on Chrome, but the menu is still incredibly laggy and the placement grid lags way behind the mouse cursor. Got to say that the performance isn't exactly that of Rollercoaster Tycoon, famously written by Chris Sawyer in lovingly hand-crafted assembly! |

| yeah I wonder if a rust or wasm backend might be a good idea for something like this |

| ▲ | wasmainiac 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | Nah, I think the implementation is just off. Graphics need HW acceleration for modern resolutions, but the whole thing should be fine in vanilla JS. Afaik wasm is just an abstraction on top of a jsvm | | |
