Summary
- A command‑line tool that streamlines building WASM games written in Swift, automatically handling RAYLIB, C++ libs, and generating the JS glue code.
- Eliminates manual WASM toolchain setup and reduces compile‑time overhead.
Details
| Key |
Value |
| Target Audience |
Swift developers building 3D or interactive web games; indie devs using RAYLIB or other C libs. |
| Core Feature |
End‑to‑end CLI that downloads Swift‑wasm toolchain, compiles Swift sources to WASM, bundles C libs, emits JS loader and asset pipeline. |
| Tech Stack |
Swift, swift‑wasm, wasm‑bindgen, Node.js, Rust (for backend compilation). |
| Difficulty |
Medium |
| Monetization |
Revenue-ready: SaaS (Free CLI, $12/mo Team tier) |
Notes
- Directly addresses acarette’s request for easier Swift‑WASM builds and kelderis’s question about size/performance overhead.
- Generates lean WASM binaries by stripping unused Swift runtime components.
- Includes sample templates for RAYLIB and C++‑interop projects.
Summary
- A CLI that parses C++ headers and auto‑generates Swift wrappers leveraging Swift 5.9 C++ interop, supporting overloads, templates, and smart‑pointer lifetimes.
- Produces ready‑to‑import Swift modules for game‑dev libraries such as ReCast, OzzAnimation, and ImGui.

Notes- Solves flohofwoe’s and repelsteeltje’s concerns about C++ interop complexity and lack of real examples.
- Enables seamless use of C++‑centric libraries that otherwise require manual binding work.
- Can be packaged as a GitHub Action for CI pipelines, encouraging community adoption.
Summary
- A hosted service where users upload a Swift game project; the platform auto‑compiles it to WASM with all necessary bindings, hosts it on a CDN, and provides a shareable URL.
- Removes the friction of manual build pipelines and deployment for hobbyists and small studios.
