What is this?
This is the very early experimentation at creating a companion package to Arcade which can be run using Pyodide in the browser.
Currently this repo is just experimentation and seeing what is possible, what works, and what doesn't. Nothing here is representative of what a final version of this might look like.
How do I run it?
Each folder in this directory(at least at time of writing) is a different example. To access them, you can run the server.py file located at the root. This will give you an HTTP server locally, which by default can be accessed at port 8000(this can be changed by providing the -p argument when running).
Once running, if you visit http://localhost:8000/webgl_cube for example, you will see the WebGL Cube example in your browser.
How does that work?
server.py is a small wrapper over Python's http.server and socketserver modules which when any directory is requested with a .zip appended will automatically zip the directory and serve that back. This allows for run-time generation of the Python package to be served to pyodide. If you peek inside a given example, you will see an index.html file as the entrypoint, and a package folder which contains the Python package. Additionally there may also be an extra.js file which may contain any necessary custom JavaScript code for the example.
The arcade folder is special, it contains the code for the actual arcade package which gets imported in the examples.
Any files/folders other than these, should be documented by a README within that specific example
