Yeah, JavaScript (or its subset, asm.js) is just another target, what's the big deal *shrugs* ;-)

There's a reason subsets like asm.js are created to make the Web a viable target:

Wt has tight integration with several modules, like JSON, or WebGL: http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/doc/reference/html/namespaceWt.html

If you have some prior experience with Qt and OpenGL, you should find a familiar ground with Wt and WebGL.

OP: as for Emscripten, see these two links, should explain most:

Okay so I think I am getting two recommendations here, unless I am reading this all wrong... :D. From what I can tell Serapth I think is pushing towards straight JS while Matt and Karsten are pushing me towards C++ JS. I really don't see why I can't use both. I mean learning JS will be great for me because I will understand the outputted code of emscripten and for managing input on my website. Emscripten would be great for optimized code that is used to make a game. So what do you guys think, should I just learn both and use both where they fit best? :)

I mean Karsten does have a point Serapth. Emscripten doesn't look like its only meant for lazy people who don't want to learn a new language. It also provides optimizations that would be time consuming to manually write. So if I could get more speed from it, why not use it for games? :)

And if I have C++ code, it would be a lot easier to make a desktop version or a mobile version of the game.

Thanks again for the replies :)

Yup, that would actually be my recommendation! :-)

// Well, except that I wouldn't expect to gain much from looking at the output codegen, since it relies on asm.js and mostly looks like this:

Ahh I can read that just fine! ;). Now I am hoping I can make a nice website with the help of the CSS, Jquery, and HTML skills taught here and here and a fun little sandbox game with Escripten and some micro frameworks using inline JS!
