Replit enables native graphics development in browser

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Replit has introduced a new feature called GFX that enables native graphics development directly within the browser. This allows users to create GUI applications and games using frameworks like Pygame and Java Swing. The technology pipes the X Window system through VNC and WebSockets, with ongoing efforts to improve efficiency and reduce latency. To encourage adoption, Replit is hosting a game jam with a grand prize of 1 BTC, which concludes on April 18th. AI

IMPACT Enables new types of applications and games to be developed and run within a web-based IDE.
