I mean the complete Python interpreter in client side JavaScript is somewhat rediculous, but it works. 2011-08-19T08:45:53 There is also a ray tracer, an animated 3D example and a text-2-speech synthesizer 2011-08-19T08:46:53 *** jako has joined #aichallenge 2011-08-19T08:46:58 I'm just wondering if I could have written the visualizer in C++ using SDL to be really fast and then export that to JavaScript instead of what I have now: running JavaScript in a Java VM. 2011-08-19T08:47:16 yeah, i was thinking that too in this case 2011-08-19T08:47:34 I would suspect that the hand-written JS is still faster than what Emscripten prouces. 2011-08-19T08:48:00 And if the visualizer is used more often from the web, it's the JS version's performance that's more critical. But I haven't tested this. 2011-08-19T08:48:25 Yes that and I don't know where the API has its limitations.
