This is the initial public release of October 2018
This code may be helpful for people learning how to write WebAssembly apps in Go. Just please keep in mind that this is not a finished program, and support for WebAssembly is new.
You will see code for features that are under development, and some things may not work right. Some code may not be as concise as possible, which may change in the future, or remain as-is for some good reason.
Also, I am not a big supporter of "idiomatic" discipline. My aim is to write the best code I can, rather than to follow ideas that happen to be popular, fashionable, or dogmatic.
There are some odd behaviors you may notice in the app:
So far, it seems to work well on either Linux or Windows, using an up-to-date version of Firefox, Opera, or Chrome. Browser support on mobile devices is more limited. You may need to wait some seconds (up to 12 seconds on my old tablet), or the game may not finish loading at all (usually when using Firefox). This may be due to a bug in either the Go wasm compilation or in one or more browser's support for WebAssembly (at least, the kind produced by the Go compiler). One of the reasons I'm publishing this before it is more complete is so that this issue can be demonstrated and discussed.
Upon a q ("quit") or e ("exit") keypress, the game shows an end-of-game message, then just stops and becomes completely unresponsive. That is because the Go program exited!
To start a new game, the page must be reloaded. This will work more elegantly in a future release.
