support html5

Support for browsers would be interesting, rendering via canvas and using webassembly.

Yes, definitely.

We would need a js canvas/webgl (canvas for 2D, webgl for 3D) implementation for most of the lu5 bindings.
You might find site/static/js/lu5.js which purpose was to re-implement most of the lu5 bindings. The script is not connected to any website pages at the moment, it is also incomplete since I deemed this not a priority.

We would also need a way of compiling to wasm. That might take a little more research on my side to be done right.

Hi Again,

I added basic WebAssembly support in the recent commits.

I chose to compile the lu5 interpreter in wasm32-wasi with clang, and then write a JS polyfill in a separate repo.
I added a few live examples
Also, documentation examples can now be executed on the web page (As seen in the docs of v0.1.7/shapes)

This will all be included in the next release,
but you can already use the CDN from npm: https://unpkg.com/lu5-wasm@latest/dist/lu5-wasm.min.js and https://unpkg.com/lu5-wasm@latest/dist/lu5.wasm

what's next? An online editor?

[RodrigoDornelles]

It was awesome!

Online editor is a cool idea, I'm working on one in my game engine, but I'm bad with frontend. But Microsoft's Monaco Editor is a good component that allows you to embed vscode in a web page.
