gdx-teavm

gdx-teavm is a backend solution for running libGDX games directly in web browsers. It leverages TeaVM, a tool that compiles Java or Kotlin bytecode into JavaScript or WebAssembly, enabling seamless execution of game logic within the browser environment without needing additional plugins or complex setup. Additionally, gdx-teavm incorporates Emscripten to handle some of the Java Native Interface (JNI) code, allowing for the execution of specific internal functions that require native performance.

Examples
