This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

Examples and Live Demos
Sample projects live under
test_targets/ and a few of them are uploaded to itch.io.
Numpy particles demo: https://elan456.itch.io/pygodide-test-project
Audio demo: https://elan456.itch.io/pygodide-audio-demo
Arcade performance benchmark: https://elan456.itch.io/pygodide-performance-benchmark
Try one locally:
pygodide build test_targets/ball_bouncing
pygodide serve test_targets/ball_bouncing
Before every release, each target under test_targets/ is automatically verified using a headless browser to catch regressions. All features shown in the test targets are maintained as first-class features.
Contributing
git clone https://github.com/Elan456/pygodide.git
cd pygodide
uv sync --dev
uv run playwright install chromium
uv run pre-commit install --hook-type pre-commit --hook-type pre-push
The dev group includes pygodide[smoke], so Playwright is installed with
uv sync --dev. You still need playwright install chromium once for browser
binaries.
Run the same checks as CI:
uv run ruff format --check .
uv run ruff check .
uv run pytest
Smoke tests (from this repo)
uv run playwright install chromium # once
uv run pygodide smoke /path/to/your/pygame/project
uv run pygodide smoke test_targets --suite
Be sure to read the AGENTS.md it's written for both human contributors as well as AI tools.
