Is there anywhere I can try playing those game examples without downloading and running it myself?
To make development smoother, what I've been doing is separating the game code and the Extism code. Write unit tests and test harness code against your game code and run it on your host machine.
This can be seen in this tictactoe game in rust: https://github.com/extism/game_box/tree/main/games/tictactoe or this trivia game in typescript: https://github.com/extism/game_box/tree/main/games/wasm-triv...
