Build Requirements

$ apt-get install libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-image-dev python3.9-dev

Webassembly build

Running make web will build spritely using emscripten. So in order to run it, you need to download it from : https://emscripten.org/docs/getting_started/downloads.html

make web will create two files: index.js and index.wasm. Using the given index.html and a simple web server (Chrome doesn't support file:// XHR request), you can use spritely in your web browser !

(You can run a simple web server by going to the web folder and then run a web server using python2 with python2 -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080 or python3 with python -m http.server 8080)
