# Ship (built to be published, and it is)
Play it in your browser on itch.io: this exact code, built to WebAssembly and uploaded per the guide.
A small dodge game whose point is the shipping pipeline: assets are embedded in the binary, the window is resizable, F toggles fullscreen, and PUBLISHING.md uses this example for the single-exe and browser builds.
A/D or arrow keys to dodge the comets. Survive as long as you can.
cd examples/ship
go run .
Ship it
# One self-contained exe, no console window:
go build -ldflags "-s -w -H=windowsgui" -o ship.exe .
# Browser build for itch.io:
$env:GOOS="js"; $env:GOARCH="wasm"
go build -o web/game.wasm .
$env:GOOS=$null; $env:GOARCH=$null
See PUBLISHING.md for the index.html, the itch.io upload flow, and generating THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt.
What this example proves
engine.UseAssets(content)with//go:embed sprites audios: the same asset paths work from disk in development and from inside the binary when shipped.g.Resizable(true),g.Fullscreen(bool)toggled from a key, andg.Icon(...)for the title bar.- The whole publishing story is this file plus two build commands.
