Topic: Level selector in Natural Number game fails in brave browser


Kostiantyn Pesteriev (Nov 28 2021 at 12:39):

I don't exactly know where to report this, as github seems... abandoned?
In Brave browser (but not in chromium) the level selector - that dynamic thingy that moves level circles like they're connected with strings - bugs out and becomes unresponsive. It's impossible to select any levels but a couple.
Lean itself loads okay, works fine (in those levels that are selectable) as far as I can tell.

What can I do? Where should I go? And what additional info should I provide?

My feeling with NNG is that it works so why mess with it. I only wrote the Lean code, we could ping @Mohammad Pedramfar to see if he has anything to say about this...

if it's of any help, console reports error 404 on loading something from different page on the same website https://i.imgur.com/hMC7huB.png
chromium reports them too, but there the selector works https://i.imgur.com/mBiqLGB.png

all these errors are absolutely normal

Huỳnh Trần Khanh (Nov 28 2021 at 13:07):

the 404s are because of the source maps and in general source map errors can be ignored

Huỳnh Trần Khanh (Nov 28 2021 at 13:09):

the two "unrelated" errors basically mean the website attempted to instantiate the WASM module using one mechanism and that mechanism failed and another mechanism was attempted (which was successful)

Huỳnh Trần Khanh (Nov 28 2021 at 13:10):

anyway in my experience the brave browser loves to wreak havoc upon websites, maybe someone who has brave installed could help perhaps

Huỳnh Trần Khanh (Nov 28 2021 at 13:15):

oh I can also reproduce this issue on my device! interesting

The github isn't abandoned. It's just as Kevin said, there was no reason to change it anymore, it does the job.
I remember there were some issues with Lean in other browsers, so I just wrote "The games built with this library work best in Chrome and Firefox." in the readme file in github. I'm a bit busy at the moment and I'm not really an expert on javascript, so it may take me a while to figure out what's wrong. In the meantime, if you absolutely have to use brave browser, you can just choose the world/level in the url, like this:
