gdx-teavm is a backend solution for running libgdx games in a web browser. It uses TeaVM behind the scene to convert Java/Kotlin bytecode to Javascript.

Note:

• Reflection support is very small so only reflection used in tests will work.
• TeaVM does not support every class methods from java package or JNI native methods. Check teaVM java classes here.
• Kotlin discussions.
• Box2d, Bullet, ImGui, PhysX and Freetype libraries use emscripten and jParser to convert C++ to Javascript/WebAssembly.

TeaVM Examples:

• gdx-tests
• demo-cubocy
• demo-superjumper
• test-freetype
• test-bullet-wasm
• test-box2d-wasm
• micronaut-libgdx-teavm
• 6dof-vehicle (source)

TeaVM Games:

• Age of Conquest (website)
• Retro Commander (website)

Setup:

// Add sonatype repository to Root gradle
repositories {
    maven { url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/" }

    maven { url "https://teavm.org/maven/repository/" }
    
    // If there is a problem with the teavm repository, you can try using http
    maven {
        url = uri("http://teavm.org/maven/repository/")
        isAllowInsecureProtocol = true
    }
}
