Hands-On WebAssembly for C++ Programmers - Calling C++ Functions with JavaScript

The video tutorial covers using Emscripten and Bind to call C functions from JavaScript, focusing on building a Pong game. It explains porting JavaScript code to C, implementing AI logic, and integrating C with JavaScript using WebAssembly. The tutorial also details modifying JavaScript and HTML files to work with WebAssembly and demonstrates compiling and running the game.

What tool is used to call C functions from JavaScript in this tutorial?

• Webpack

• Emscripten

• Node.js

• Babel

What is the role of the '--bind' flag in Emscripten?

• To optimize the code

• To enable debugging

• To facilitate bindings between C and JavaScript

• To compress the output

What is the primary function of 'getAIMove' in the Pong game?

• To initialize the game settings

• To handle user input

• To determine the computer player's paddle movement

• To render the game graphics

Which data types are recommended for use with Emscripten's bind?

• Primitive data types and Floats

• JSON and XML

• Strings and Arrays

• Objects and Classes

What is the expected behavior when the ball's x-speed is negative in the AI logic?

• The paddle moves up

• The paddle calculates the ideal position

• The paddle stays stationary

• The paddle moves randomly

What change is made to the JavaScript code to call the C function?

• Using a different module name

• Adding a new event listener

• Changing the function name to 'module.getAIMove'

• Including a new library

What is the purpose of the 'onRuntimeInitialized' property in the HTML file?

• To load CSS styles

• To initialize the WebAssembly runtime

• To handle user interactions

• To manage server requests
