Introduction
Days ago, a friend of mine (a developer too) asked me if I can show him how we can create a game with Javascript, which fra...

This is a great post, thank you Arnaud!
I knew about some frameworks like Pixi or Phaser, but had not heard of Excalibur. Looks promising!
Hopefully this can get me out the analysis paralysis and finally start spinning up a game.
Thanks again!
You're welcome.
I know that too well. 😅
I will try to complete my first game for the JS13K Game Jam.
Nice, can't wait to read your post about the process! Best of luck. 😉
Excited to see where Excalibur goes.
You should check out kontra.js!
It's a simple version of phaser made for the js13k game jam.
Thank you for sharing this link I was working on a js13k version of phaserjs and wondering to see if there any attempts to make something in this sense like kontrajs for instance
no problem! If you give kontra a try let me know!
I recently tried Kontra.js (with webmaker.app) and it's really nice.
I will try to make a game for js13k with it. 😉
Great! I expect a post on the experience, or maybe a tutorial soon!
This is a great list - thanks! I was just trying to figure out how to make a simple game with JS for fun, so this is great.
It looks like Phaser even has a library for React Native called ExpoPhaser (github.com/expo/expo-phaser) - so that's exciting too!
Thanks for the comment.
I didn't know ExpoPhaser! Thanks for the link. 😉
What a fabulous first post
Thanks! 🙇
I feel the same about sticking with a language and ecosystem you already know. Javascript applications are so broad but people who doesn't really use it keep maintaining that old discourse about how JS is flawed and it should only exist on the front-end. So, thanks for this article :)
Great post! I just want to add PlayCanvas in your list of tools as a powerfull game engine for WebGL and the JS world!
Thanks!
PlayCanvas is impressive, do it have an offline mode?
No... I'm sad too... But the core engine is open source at GitHub so I think anyone can use it offline without the power of the visual editor.
This is a great post, well written and extremely insightful. Thank you Arnaud
You're welcome! 😊
Thanks!
Awsome article needs an awsome update so I have updated my Awsome Phaser in this sense
THX A LOT
Is your simple editor VIM? Or is it something else?
