emscripten es un compilador de código LLVM a Javascript, que lo que hace es convertir el bitcode LLVM a Javascript (que se puede correr en la web) ni más ni menos. Gracias a esto, se puede convertir código c y c++, o lenguajes interpretados estilo python (que corren sobre una maquina virtual hecha en c, como cpython).
Gracias a este proyecto, se convirtieron los siguientes juegos (también se convirtieron muchas aplicaciones y librerias):
- Unreal Engine 3 - Epic Citadel, using the full Unreal Engine 3 which was ported in 4 days.
- Voxel Invaders - Blogpost new!
- Nebula3 - The Nebula3 engine
