# pygbag

Python WebAssembly for everyone ( packager + test server )

Intro : [https://github.com/pygame-web](https://github.com/pygame-web)

Community Documentation : [https://pygame-web.github.io](https://pygame-web.github.io)

Runs python code directly in modern web browsers, including mobile versions.

Quick Start:

"your.app.folder" must contain a main.py and its loop must be async aware eg:

```py
import asyncio

# Try to declare all your globals at once to facilitate compilation later.
COUNT_DOWN = 3

# Do init here
# Load any assets right now to avoid lag at runtime or network errors.

async def main():
global COUNT_DOWN

# avoid this kind declaration, prefer the way above
COUNT_DOWN = 3

while True:

# Do your rendering here, note that it's NOT an infinite loop,
# and it is fired only when VSYNC occurs
# Usually 1/60 or more times per seconds on desktop
# could be less on some mobile devices

print(f"""

Hello[{COUNT_DOWN}] from Python

""")
# pygame.display.update() should go right next line

await asyncio.sleep(0) # Very important, and keep it 0

if not COUNT_DOWN:
return

COUNT_DOWN = COUNT_DOWN - 1

# This is the program entry point:
asyncio.run(main())

# Do not add anything from here, especially sys.exit/pygame.quit
# asyncio.run is non-blocking on pygame-wasm and code would be executed
# right before program start main()
```

Usage:

pip3 install pygbag --user --upgrade
pygbag your.app.folder

Command help:

pygbag --help your.app.folder

Example :

```
user@pp /data/git/pygbag $ py -m pygbag --help test/main.py
*pygbag 0.8.2*
115: cache 0.7.2 mismatch, want 0.8.2, cleaning ...

Serving python files from [/data/git/pygbag/test/build/web]

with no security/performance in mind, i'm just a test tool : don't rely on me
usage: __main__.py [-h] [--bind ADDRESS] [--PYBUILD PYBUILD] [--app_name APP_NAME] [--ume_block UME_BLOCK] [--can_close CAN_CLOSE] [--cache CACHE] [--package PACKAGE] [--title TITLE] [--version VERSION] [--build] [--html] [--no_opt] [--archive] [--icon ICON] [--cdn CDN] [--template TEMPLATE] [--ssl SSL]
[--port [PORT]] [--disable-sound-format-error]

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--bind ADDRESS Specify alternate bind address [default: localhost]
--PYBUILD PYBUILD Specify python version [default:3.11]
--app_name APP_NAME Specify user facing name of application [default:test]
--ume_block UME_BLOCK
Specify wait for user media engagement before running [default:1]
--can_close CAN_CLOSE
Specify if window will ask confirmation for closing [default:0]
--cache CACHE md5 based url cache directory
--package PACKAGE package name, better make it unique
--title TITLE App nice looking name
--version VERSION override prebuilt version path [default:0.8.2]
--build build only, do not run test server
--html build as html with embedded assets (pygame-script)
--no_opt turn off assets optimizer
--archive make build/web.zip archive for itch.io
--icon ICON icon png file 32x32 min should be favicon.png
--cdn CDN web site to cache locally [default:https://pygame-web.github.io/archives/0.8/]
--template TEMPLATE index.html template [default:default.tmpl]
--ssl SSL enable ssl with server.pem and key.pem
--port [PORT] Specify alternate port [default: 8000]
--disable-sound-format-error audio files with a common unsupported format found in the assets won't raise an exception
```

unlisted developper options:

--git force cdn use of pygbag current git github CI build
--dev change port to 8666 and use local build served on 8000

Now navigate to http://localhost:8000 with a modern internet browser.

Use http://localhost:8000?-i for getting a terminal with repl
and a sized down canvas ( http://localhost:8000#debug also does the same )

For pygame-script go to http://localhost:8000/test.html
( for a game folder named "test" with option --html )

V8 based browsers are preferred ( chromium/brave/chrome ... )
starting with 81.0.4044 ( android 4.4 ).
Because they set baseline restrictions on WebAssembly loading.
Using them while testing ensure proper operation on all browsers

____

NOTES:
- pygbag only provides support for pygame-ce ( pygame community edition )

- safari/chrome mobile will not run until version ios 15.x

- first load will be slower, because setting up local cache from cdn to avoid
useless network transfer for getting pygame and cpython prebuilts.

- each time there's a major change in the code/assets/template
you must run `pygbag your.app.folder` but
cache will not be destroyed to save bandwidth.

- if you want to reset prebuilts cache, remove the build/web-cache folder in
your.app.folder

- pyodide wheels (non-standard wasm) aren't compatible ootb with pygbag runtime

HISTORY:

- pygbag's concepts took roots in a 2016 Panda3D community experiment.

BUILDING:

Pygbag is not only a python module and its python runtimes are stored online !
Rebuilding all the toolchain can be quite hard.

https://github.com/pygame-web/python-wasm-sdk <= build CPython (not pyodide)

The default is to build only pygame, but feel free to fork and add yours.

So read/use pygbag CI to see how to build pygame + the C loader (pymain) and
how it is linked it to libpython.
For modules loading since 0.6 the default is to use wasm dynamic libraries.
[wasm wheels info here](https://github.com/pygame-web/pkg-porting-wasm)

https://github.com/pygame-web/pygbag

Default prebuilts CPython + pygame-ce used by pygbag are stored via github pages
from the repo https://github.com/pygame-web/archives under versioned folders.

[TEST INTERACTIVE REPL 3.11 (default)](http://pygame-web.github.io/showroom/pygbag.html?cpython311&-i&noapp#src/hello.py%20arg1%20arg2)

[TEST INTERACTIVE REPL 3.12 (next)](http://pygame-web.github.io/showroom/pygbag.html?cpython312&-i&noapp#src/hello.py%20arg1%20arg2)

ADDING STATIC/DYNAMIC MODULES:
