Programming WebAssembly with Rust

Creating WebAssembly Robots

Now for the fun part: creating WebAssembly robots! We’ve built an engine that can load WebAssembly modules into memory, expose a runtime host for them, and safely allow them to interact with a virtual environment and manipulate shared state. Now it’s time to exercise that engine by building some robots.

First, let’s create a fairly dumb target. I wanted a “read hungry” robot to ensure that no matter how frequently a robot queried its own state, it couldn’t cause a threading dead lock in the system. Create a new library Rust module called dumbotrs and add it to the workspace. Its Cargo.toml should look like the following:

waros/dumbotrs/Cargo.toml

[package]
name = "dumbotrs"
version = "0.1.0"
