So, today I was looking at the documentation for monogame, and I noticed this little yellow box with JS written in it under platforms supported, which says Web.
Being someone who dabbles quite a bit when it comes to making games (the number of projects I’ve started and then left by the wayside…), almost all of them in monogame or XNA, this intrigued me, so I tried to investigate.
Except I cannot find anything on it. Nothing in any of the documentation, or any other posts. The closest I have found is a topic which mentions JSIL and some integration into monogame, but nothing saying how to use it, how it’s intended to work with, what else it will need, ect.
So I’m asking here. Anyone know what this is supposed to be?
It was supposed to be a web implementation of Monogame, there is a base, but someone needs to continue working on it. It was supposed to be used with JSIL( http://jsil.org/).

I tried using JSIL a couple of years ago – with regular XNA – it was kind of hairy to setup and get it running back then (don’t know if that’s improved or not), and there wasn’t any support for 3D stuff (I draw 2D primitives with the 3D API) – again, don’t know if any of that has improved or not.
I’d be really excited if this stuff got more mature and integrated into MonoGame as a regular C# project that just worked, and when you hit F5, it just ran it in a browser (and the C# was debuggable like a regular application). – Even if it needed a special browser plug-in (for debugging or whatever), that would be awesome.
