Tangle is a TypeScript library that wraps WebAssembly modules to make building multiplayer apps and games easy, handling message passing, serialization, and consensus automatically. It uses peer-to-peer WebRTC connections with snapshot-based rollback and replay to keep all connected Wasm instances perfectly in sync.

Use cases

• add multiplayer to a small web game
• sync a WebAssembly app between multiple clients
• build backend-less collaborative software
• run networked simulations with rollback and replay
• share program state peer-to-peer without writing networking code
• prototype multiplayer games in Rust or AssemblyScript

When to choose

• you want to add multiplayer to a small WebAssembly game or app with minimal networking code
• you're targeting Rust or AssemblyScript compiled to Wasm in the browser
• you want peer-to-peer sync without managing your own game servers
• you need deterministic state sync with rollback/replay support

When to avoid

• you need a stable, production-ready networking solution
• you need to merge long stretches of offline edits (it is not a CRDT)
• your simulation has high CPU/memory usage, which increases input latency
• you need native (non-web) platform support
• you can't rely on a third-party signaling server for initial connections
