Kinc + V8 combined.
Krom is a highly portable runtime for JavaScript based multimedia applications. It executes JS or webassembly through V8 and is fully supported in Kha as one of the backends, see bindings. Krom is optimized for very fast development cycles and directly supports hot-patching of code, shaders and assets.
Note that Krom does not rely on web APIs. It rather exposes full, native hardware capabilities and in particular surpasses WebGL in features and speed.
- For Windows: Run node Kinc/make and compile in Visual Studio for x64
- For macOS: Run node Kinc/make --noshaders and compile in Xcode
- For Linux: Run node Kinc/make --compiler clang --compile

If no arguments are provided, assets and shaders are loaded from the executable path.
To debug Krom itself, just start it in Visual Studio or Xcode (Linux IDEs are not yet setup automatically for Krom debugging). The debug protocol can be debugged using an "attach" debug configuration in Kode Studio or Visual Studio Code. First start Krom in your C++ IDE with parameters ala /path/to/project/build/krom --debug 9988 and then start a launch config which looks something like this:
{ "type": "krom", "request": "attach", "name": "Krom-Test", "preLaunchTask": "Kha: Build for Krom", "port": 9988 }
