Moorhuhn in your browser
Moorhuhn, one of the programs on the Wine-Assembly desktop. Moorhuhn runs in Wine-Assembly, a Windows 98 emulator written in WebAssembly Text, so it starts in the browser with nothing to install.

How it runs here
The x86 code is interpreted by threaded code written in WebAssembly Text; windows, controls, menus and dialogs are the emulator's own Win32 layer, and every pixel is drawn by a software GDI in the same module. See how the program and its DLLs are loaded.
Reverse-engineering notes for this program:
Something wrong? The emulator is open source; report it on GitHub with the app name and what you clicked.
Questions
How do I play Moorhuhn in my browser?
Open the Moorhuhn page and click Launch. The program's files are fetched from this site and run inside the tab as WebAssembly; nothing is installed and nothing is uploaded.
What are the controls for Moorhuhn?
Moorhuhn is played with the mouse and the same keyboard shortcuts as the original Windows 98 program; its menus list them.
Does Moorhuhn work on a phone?
Yes. On a phone the desktop scales to the screen and Moorhuhn gets on-screen controls for the keys it needs, plus a keyboard button for anything else.
Are my scores and settings saved?
Whatever Moorhuhn writes to the Windows registry or to its INI file is kept in this browser's local storage, so it is there next time on the same device and browser. Clearing site data removes it.
Does Moorhuhn have sound here?
Yes. Sound the program plays through the Windows wave and DirectSound APIs is routed to the browser's Web Audio. Browsers only allow audio after a click or a key press, so it starts with your first input.
Is this the real Moorhuhn or a remake?
It is the original 32-bit Windows (PE) executable (Moorhuhn.exe), run instruction by instruction by an x86 interpreter written in WebAssembly Text. The emulator provides the Windows API underneath it, not a rewrite of the program.
