3 MB Native HTML5 Game with Tauri

[Literal Line]

So I was able to turn an old game I ported to Javascript into a native desktop app (native game -> HTML5 game -> native game, it's weird I know). I used Tauri  for this, which is similar Electron, but instead of using Chromium and Node.js it uses the system's webview for rendering and a lightweight backend written in Rust. In the case of Windows 10, the webview is WebView2. A possible downside of WebView2 is that the installer is 100 megabytes, but once you have it installed you can run any Tauri app. WebView2 also supposedly comes preinstalled with Windows 10 in the April update.

 

The binary for the game's build was only 8 megabytes in size. After compressing with UPX, the filesize was reduced to only 3 megabytes. The app is so small in fact that I can upload it right here ?.

If I built this app with Electron, the filesize would most likely be at least 100 megabytes.

 

Here is the resource usage for the game:

CPU usage: 0-0.1%

RAM usage: 12.4 megabytes

 

You can download the game here and try it out. You must have WebView2 installed or the app will close.

That’s a great point, as once the initial setup is done, you can launch any application or game without any technical issues. My own experience became much smoother after I started using parimatch-download.com which made transitioning to mobile betting incredibly simple. The platform serves as a perfect all-in-one destination where I can easily switch between casino games and various sports markets. I especially appreciate how the software runs flawlessly even on budget smartphones, providing a stable and high-quality gaming experience on the go.
