Platform

Web/HTML5

Version

v0.7.5

Console Output

No errors, it works as intended.

Context

So I successfully compiled the 0.7.5 source code with the ghost tapping flag for the html5 release. I noticed the game I compiled took a lot more time to load assets than when I used the GitHub releases provided. Is there any way for me to optimize the game when it's compiling? I simply used the command lime test html5 -DFEATURE_GHOST_TAPPING to compile and I specifically used the 0.7.5 branch and not the main or HEAD branch. It created no errors when compiling or hosting the files so I don't believe that it's a problem with the assets folder. I did also try to go into the bin folder afterwards and ran python -m http.server to see if maybe it would load faster doing that, it gave no new or better results than using Lime. I did use the command git clone --branch "v0.7.5" https://github.com/FunkinCrew/funkin.git to clone instead of using the command provided in the docs. Hopefully this provides any insight for solutions!

There isn't really a way to speed up compiling. HTML5 is also probably the fastest platform to compile to. -DHARDCODED_CREDITS might speed up compiling, but I never compiled the game with that flag before, so I'm unsure.

You know that instead of running python -m http.server, you can just run lime run html5.

Also, glad you figured out how to compile the game. If you're able to compile to desktop, then you could fix something, make a pull request, and possibly become a contributor like me and many other people.
