Plays at ~3fps and with a ~1s latency on all interactions on Firefox, MBP2015 :( Slightly better on Chrome, but the menu is still incredibly laggy and the placement grid lags way behind the mouse cursor. Got to say that the performance isn't exactly that of Rollercoaster Tycoon, famously written by Chris Sawyer in lovingly hand-crafted assembly!
Nah, I think the implementation is just off. Graphics need HW acceleration for modern resolutions, but the whole thing should be fine in vanilla JS. Afaik wasm is just an abstraction on top of a jsvm

it is, but as a compiler target there's tons of opportunity for automatic optimization -- in my experience wasm (from rust) tends to be faster then then hand-written js for the same function (although, i'll admit, javascript is far from my strongest language, so take that with a grain of salt)
it runs quite fast on a first generation mac studio with safari
