2 / 4 not bad!
Appreciating the tech behind it all! Now that you have it working I look forward to your next LD entry. :smiley:
I tried to stream it tonight at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames
I was using My HTC Vive which I had used before the stream successfully, and I was also able to get another WebVR experience to load into the HTC Vive after I was unable to get your experience to work.
I will try again, and see if I can get it to work in my Oculus Go or in Firefox after a restart.
You can hear my comments in the archive at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/298329090
Normally the webvr api would provide a way to do requestpresent and display the screen to the VR. But emscripten version doesnt seem to be working, so hacks is required / and the hack is all about setting windows settings for cloning the display.
I'm curious what you used to build this. I've not heard of emscripten before, but it is still a big space.
Have you tested on WMR or Oculus Go? I know that Oculus Go might be an easier experience since you can pull up a browser in the headset with minimal difficulty. However, there would be no keyboard attached to move around.
emscripten is a way to run c++ programs inside a browser. Firefox fullscreen button is slightly wrong position due to emscripten, but in chrome it should look ok.
Here is a link to your game on my stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/299088812?t=01h34m19s
Seems like a good basis for some sort of survival game, though - it reminds me of old-school Rust, back before there was a procedural map. Has the same sort of vaguely spooky nature feel, what with the trees and all.
