  Hi.
  
  In Gideros front page we see a picture that make me understand that it is possible to generate HTML5 (javascript) games from my Lua source code. But right below in Platforms you can export to it does not mention HTML5.
  
  So my questions are:
  1 - may I export my games to HTML5?
  2 - in affirmative case for question 1, then
  2.1 - how good is the javascript code generated?
  2.2 - Is it too bloated?
  2.3 - Does it have missing features of javascript?
  2.4 - Is there any API that is not supported (or that have limited supported) when exporting to HTML5?
  
  Thank you all.

  Guys have published html5 games on Facebook Instant platform.
  So I guess Gideros is good for such purposes.

  Don’t expect to be able to read/change the JS code. It isn’t generated, but precompiled from C with emscripten, so it is mostly asm.js and minified as much as possible. Even worse if you use compression!

  @plicatibu I've exported my games to html5, you can also export and include/use the Facebook Instants API if you like. Here are my games exported:

  @hgy29 And do we add javascript libraries? Many portals require us to add their specific libraries in order to publish our game.
  
  @SinisterSoft I tried your games. They work fine in my mobile browsers, but they take a bit longer to load (my WiFi connection sped is 50Mbps). Is that normal to Gideros games?
  
  Thank you both.

  Specific JS code is beyond the scope of gideros, unless you write a plugin for them. However you can add them to your export and call them from your code in lua, with JS.eval() call

  Is there any tutorial about this export /JS.eval () that you could point to me?
