To play the cart offline:

  1. Download "cart.wasm" from this submission
  2. Download Wasm-4 for your platform and unzip the download to obtain the w4 executable
  3. Run "w4 run-native cart.wasm", with the appropriate paths to "w4" and "cart.wasm", and enjoy exploring Wireworld!

N.B. GNU Guix users need only download "cart.wasm" and can run it using Guix's wasm4 package, like so: "guix shell wasm4 -- wasm4 cart.wasm".

Hi! Pulled down w4 for Windows and did `.\w4.exe run .\cart.wasm` -- got a "cartridge is corrupted" message. It also said to check the console for details, but the PowerShell (or command prompt) console just has the QR code and the URL. Tried redownloading several times and also putting the cart file in different places in the filesystem.

I've heard of WireWorld and will be very interested to try this. Thanks!

You’ve gotta use run-native instead of run (not sure it will do the trick on windoze tho)

Got it going! `.\w4.exe run-native .\cart.wasm` Very cool!

@terpri discovered through making this wireworld demo that there's a bug in guile-hoot (the thing generating the wasm file) that is causing the corrupted cartridge error when running in a web browser. Seems that the native wasm engine isn't running a strict validator so it runs.
