TinyGo and Wasm Canvas Interaction

Loading ...

TinyCanvas is a simple canvas implementation in Go, built with TinyGo. It has a wasm-side canvas it can render to an HTML Canvas element on demand. The idea is to have a device-agnostic "engine" that can be used to render to various graphic targets. For now, only the web is supported, but it could in theory work on other devices.

The idea was born out of the need to port some Turbo Pascal graphics code to the web and in many modern graphics libraries, the concept of "putpixel" is not always simple and easy to use. I needed this as well as some building blocks like lines, blocks and circles, so it turned into a bit of a project. Eventually I thought I'd make the code available to anyone who's run into the same challenge and is better at searching than I am!
