+# SuperTuxKart WASM Port
+
+Currently this port is still incomplete.
+
+Working features:
+- The game launches
+- OpenGL ES 2 graphics (GLES 3 doesn't work)
+- Audio
+- Persistent user data
+- Caching data and asset files in IndexedDB
+
+TODO:
+- Fix GLES 3 (maybe someone with more experience in webgl could help here)
+- Webpage theming
+- Better compression for assets
+- Lazy load assets during gameplay
+- Networking
+
+Caveats:
+- The RAM usage is rather high because the assets are always loaded in memory
+- The performance isn't great, probably because the legacy renderer is still being used
+- There is a large ~700MB download required immediately
+- Some options, like anything related to online multiplayer, may hang the game
+
+## Building
+1. First, get a copy of the emsdk (it might help to have emscripten already installed with `sudo apt install emscripten`):
+```
+wasm/get_emsdk.sh
+```
+2. Compile all the dependencies:
+```
+wasm/build_deps.sh
+```
+3. Compile STK:
+```
+wasm/build.sh
+```
+4. Bundle the game data and assets:
+```
+wasm/pack_assets.sh ../stk-assets
+```
+5. Host a web server:
+```
+cd wasm/web
+python3 ../run_server.py
+```
+
+## Project Structure:
+- /wasm/build - Files for building the dependencies
+- /wasm/prefix - Headers and library files
+- /wasm/web - Web server root directory
+- /wasm/emsdk - Emscripten SDK
+- /wasm/fragments - Patches for emscripten's generated JS
