Awesome, now all we need is a new online love editor (since the old one broke down..)
LoveDebug- A library that will help you debug your game with an on-screen fully interactive lua console, you can even do code hotswapping :D

Check out my twitter.

That is awesome! Great job! If I could, I would star your repo a thousand times.

My internet is a bit slow today, so github was downloading at 8 KB/s and I didn't have time to mess around with it just yet.
I just want to say thank you for your hard work, I hope this will turn into an official port someday!
PM me on here or elsewhere if you'd like to discuss porting your game to Nintendo Switch via mazette!

Looks good, but judging from your github issues you seem to be stuck on the thread part, which is essential for several features.
Is that right?

Emscripten doesn't support C threads at all. LÖVE internally uses C threads for a couple things (some audio decoding, as well as video decoding) – plus [wiki]love.thread[/wiki] uses them.
The audio and video decoding could be moved to the main thread though, at the cost of some framerate when they do large amounts of work.

But that would require several changes in the Löve sourcecode, right? So it would be two casebases to maintain?

I had an idea although it's probably not a good one but if a JavaScript code path was used for audio and video they probably will be done by the browser in a separate thread. But idk how browsers do those kind of things.

Edit: and if it doesn't the codepath could use webworkers maybe. I'm sure there has to be a way to make audio and video happen on a separate thread. Probably would be more involved though.

Yeah.... :/ Internet Explorer is, well, it's something.
It's not as bad as its reputation, lots of complex Javascript and WebGL stuff work in it actually. It'll be interesting to see how much better Edge is at following standards.

I've update the repo with a fix for streaming audio. You'll notice that Mr. Rescue now sounds a lot better: http://tannerrogalsky.com/mrrescue/ (You may need to refresh that page if you've visited it before).

The change is under 20 lines of code, for those of you concerned about maintainability.
Video is still TODO.

Just wanted to pass by and say a huge thanks for this project. Does it support shaders, and/or networking through sockets?
