Browser game guide

WASM Arcade and browser game ports

WASM Arcade is a browser-game collection at wasmarcade.com. If you are looking for that website, follow its link. Arcadle is an independent directory with source links and practical guides to help you start a browser port.

What does WASM mean?

WebAssembly is a portable binary format that browsers can execute. Tools such as Emscripten can compile C and C++ engines for the web. A browser port also needs graphics, input, sound and game resources; WebAssembly alone does not provide those.

Read the WebAssembly project and Emscripten documentation for the technical background.

Can you play the whole game in a tab?

It depends on the specific source. Some offer a demo or a multiplayer client. Others need files from a game you own. A familiar game name does not establish the version, available content or device support. Browser collections can also include emulators and independent recreations.

These guides record the version, loading requirements and desktop actions we checked. The game opens on its source website. Phone controls, full campaigns and saved-game persistence are not verified unless the guide explicitly says so.
