What does it do?

The purpose of this example is to demonstrate how to use asyncify which allows the code to be written like you would for a normal desktop application.

Building instructions

Using emcc from the command line (make sure it is in your path)

mkdir build
emcc --use-port=contrib.glfw3 -sASYNCIFY --shell-file=shell.html main.cpp -o build/index.html

Using CMake:

set(target "example-asyncify")
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} --use-port=contrib.glfw3 -sASYNCIFY --shell-file ${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/shell.html")
add_executable(${target} main.cpp)
set_target_properties(${target} PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME "index")
set_target_properties(${target} PROPERTIES SUFFIX ".html")
