So you know the ivan wasm version? Did you know you can upload savefiles from your computer's file system into the browser and play those games? Well... only if you compiled the game locally and made the savefile in there.
The one thing I never managed to do was upload and run IVAN 0.50 savefiles created by the application built by the original devs. I think this could be because some of the datatypes are different sizes than their modern versions. I think the devs might have built on i383 arch or something, but I have no idea. Or it could be not working for another reason. Does anyone want to have a go at debugging and solving this particular issue? You could say it's a nice-to-have, but I definitely have some old vanilla savefiles, and I bet others have too. It would be insane to load them up in the browser and just play like the old days...
To load up filesystem saves, you go into the configuration menu and select option J.
