Forums | NoesisGUI

Hi there,

Can someone confirm that Noesis GUI will build fine on webgl ?

Best regards,

We are yet not compatible with WebGL but it is in the roadmap.

1+ for this.

I would personally rather have a very stable release for the existing platforms (e.g. Unity) with all or nearly all known issues fixed, great error reporting in almost all cases before even touching WebGL Noesis is great, please keep the focus on stability and performance rather than new platforms. Just my 2c.

WebGL is not in our list of priorities but lastly things are aligning properly and I think we will have something soon or later.

What is the technological problem with WebGL anyway?

Noesis is C++. We need to translate it to Javascript. There are many ways to achieve it though without having to rewrite everything (eg: emscripten)

Perhaps you're aware already, pointing out just in case: you could also use webassembly (through emscripten) - since last week WebAssembly is officially supported on all major browsers http://webassembly.org. Very exciting!

Looking at this Unity blog post, I don't see a reason why you can't use a native C++ plugin in WebGL:

Thanks for that link! I thought we needed to provide noesis source code to work with Unity and WebGL but reading that blog post and this thread:

https://forum.unity.com/threads/include ... ow.307262/

it seems we can just precompile noesis files to a single .bc file and just release that to support WebGL.

Exciting!
