Can build and load web version locally and complete first level. Plenty left to fix up.
Implement state machine architecture for web build to handle transitions between picker menus and gameplay. Previously, the game would stop completely after completing a level because emscripten_cancel_main_loop() doesn't return control to the caller. Changes: - Add GameState enum (PICKER, PLAYING, QUIT) for unified main loop - Refactor emscripten_frame_wrapper to dispatch based on current state - Extract glad_init() for reusable game initialization - Add picker state machine functions for Emscripten - Fix go_menu() to signal game start via flag instead of blocking call - Fix create_team_menu() to propagate EXIT return value Native builds are unaffected - all changes are guarded by __EMSCRIPTEN__.
- Add scrollable Help screen to main menu with controls reference,
movement keys, action keys, and special combos documentation
- Add "View Key Bindings" (V) option to in-game options menu showing
current player's key mappings in a visual 3x3 directional grid
- Fix blocking loops in options_menu(), view_team(), and key editing
functions using YIELD_SLEEP macro (emscripten_sleep for web builds)
- Fix help key: Shift+/ now properly shows scenario text
- Web build: Replace QUIT button with HELP (quit doesn't apply in browser)
- Web build: Move version number from main menu to Help screen title
- Native build: Keep QUIT button and version number on main menu
Add persistent storage using Emscripten's IDBFS for web builds, allowing
saves and settings to persist across browser sessions. Settings and team
saves are automatically synced to IndexedDB.
Improve logging system with proper log levels:
- Add LogWarn() and LogError() functions alongside existing Log()
- Route SDL log output to appropriate JS console methods on web
(console.log for INFO, console.warn for WARN, console.error for ERROR)
- Update error messages across codebase to use appropriate log levels
- Improve message clarity (e.g., missing keyprefs.dat is expected, not an error)
Files changed:
- io.cpp/h: IDBFS mount, sync, and /persist/ user path for web
- util.cpp/h: Log level functions and custom SDL log output for Emscripten
- build_web.sh: Add -lidbfs.js and export sync callback
- Multiple files: Update Log() calls to LogError()/LogWarn() where appropriate
Expanded the list of permitted Bash commands to include 'grep', 'source', and 'mdfind', and updated the 'build_web.sh' entry to allow arguments. This change increases flexibility for script execution.
Introduces a new web/index.html landing page and hero image, updates the build script to output play.html instead of openglad.html, and copies the new assets to the distribution directory. Also updates shell.html to use the new title and improves initial canvas resizing. Permissions in .claude/settings.json are expanded to allow additional Bash commands.
Introduces deploy_web.sh to automate deploying the dist/ directory to an S3 bucket configured for static website hosting. The script handles cache control for different file types and sets the correct content type for WASM files. Includes setup instructions and recommended S3 bucket policy.
Uncomments logic to allow holding the special key for rapid use in view.cpp, noting that MP cost provides natural rate-limiting. Adds $HOME/GitHub/emsdk to the emsdk search locations in build_web.sh. Updates settings.json to allow Edit events.

Pull request overview
This PR adds comprehensive web build support via Emscripten, enabling the OpenGlad game to run in web browsers through WebAssembly compilation. The implementation includes a state machine for non-blocking browser execution, IDBFS integration for persistent storage, improved logging with browser console support, and extensive event loop refactoring to replace blocking waits with polling.
Key changes:
- Emscripten build infrastructure: Complete build script (build_web.sh) and deployment script (deploy_web.sh) with S3 configuration
- Non-blocking architecture: Replaced blocking
get_input_events(WAIT)calls withSDL_Delay(1) + get_input_events(POLL)throughout the codebase, and introduced YIELD_SLEEP macro using emscripten_sleep - Browser-specific features: IDBFS for persistent storage, custom logging that routes to JavaScript console, canvas-based UI with proper scaling

Missing alt text for the hero image. The img tag at line 97 has alt="Huddle Dungeon" but if the image fails to load (which is likely given the comment that says hero.png is copied "2>/dev/null || true" in build_web.sh:373), users won't see any indication of what's missing. Consider adding a fallback or making the image optional in the HTML if it doesn't exist.

The format string is missing a newline character at the end. For consistency with other log messages in the codebase (e.g., line 174, 193, 214, 537), this should end with "\n". This ensures proper formatting in the log output.

The static buffer in get_key_display_name() creates a potential bug. The function returns a pointer to a static buffer that gets overwritten on subsequent calls. Since this function is called multiple times in the same expression (e.g., in snprintf calls at lines 2221-2239), and the text rendering happens later, this could cause display issues where all keys show the same name. Consider making the buffer thread-local or returning a std::string, or document that the caller must use the result immediately before the next call.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The mainmenu function in picker_init (line 4080) and picker_reinit_after_game (line 4142) uses blocking calls that may not be appropriate for the Emscripten state machine. The comments at lines 4079 and 4097 mention that "this will run its blocking loop", but this contradicts the goal of having a non-blocking frame-based architecture. If mainmenu() blocks waiting for user input, it will prevent the browser from processing other events and could cause the page to become unresponsive. Consider refactoring these menu functions to work in a non-blocking manner.
| // Restart the main menu | |
| mainmenu(1); | |
| // Restart the main menu | |
| #ifndef __EMSCRIPTEN__ | |
| // In native builds, it is safe to call the (blocking) mainmenu() here. | |
| mainmenu(1); | |
| #else | |
| // In Emscripten builds, avoid calling the blocking mainmenu() here. | |
| // The non-blocking state machine is responsible for transitioning | |
| // back to the main menu on the next frame. | |
| #endif |

Potential null pointer dereference. At line 126, myscreen->timer_wait is accessed without checking if myscreen is null. This is called from emscripten_set_main_loop which starts very early (line 230), potentially before myscreen is fully initialized. Consider adding a null check or ensuring myscreen is valid before the main loop starts, or using a default value if myscreen is not yet available.
| Uint32 target_frame_time = (Uint32)(myscreen->timer_wait * 13.6f); | |
| short timer_wait = 6; // Safe default until myscreen is initialized | |
| if (myscreen && myscreen->timer_wait > 0) { | |
| timer_wait = myscreen->timer_wait; | |
| } | |
| Uint32 target_frame_time = (Uint32)(timer_wait * 13.6f); |
