So you're somehow ended up being a web-developer and coding JavaScript and year after year you learn that JavaScr...

The new Cocos Creator engine is also pretty great and supports typescript wonderfully!
Nice, Phaser also supports TypeScript.
Just a comment in order to share a word about CreateJS: createjs.com/
Its creators, GSkinner, made really cool things with it: gskinner.com/showcase
And don't forget the possibility to do those things yourself with WebGL/Canvas and the others available API.
Phaser is cool, I used it in one of my projects when I was putting together a portfolio to get me my first Dev job. I'd recommend it at any level of JS/programming competency.
Here's what I made:

It's a very simple game that didn't take too long to make, but it shows the kind of cool thing you can build. It even has support for mobile/touch based interfaces.
Unity Game Engine also supports a JavaScript syntax.
It's a JavaScript-like syntax, as opposed to JavaScript run on a JavaScript engine. A familiarity with JS means that you can pick up their script very quickly by referencing their API docs.
It should be noted that Unity is a proprietary engine and the specifications can change at the whim of Unity. The positives are that it comes with a Rich IDE/modelling tool where you can create objects and environments.
As noted by Michael, it's being deprecated this year so maybe best to avoid. :(
Nice!
Could you elaborate? :D
A lot of people like to call UnityScript by the name "JavaScript." I believe this is wrong on several levels.
While "JavaScript" could refer to any one of the ECMAScript specs, Unity's ".js" language doesn't even come close to conforming to that specification — nor does it try to. UnityScript is a proprietary language, and it doesn't follow any concrete specification; it is modified at the will of the Unity developers.
The vast majority of JavaScript libraries you find will not work just by copying them into Unity. Unity's "JavaScript" is most similar to Microsoft's JScript.NET, although it is not quite identical.
Actually UnityScript, Unity flavor of Javascript that have types, is deprecated, and will be removed this year from the Engine. Unfortunately.
:(
K, are you creating a game yourself or are you involved somehow in something game related? Your profile says 'mobile consultant', a mobile game perhaps?
I created a few small games as a hobby (Web based). Didn't try myself on "professional" game development tho :D
Do you want to? Hobby or professional either way.
Yes, it's more a quesion of time than want haha
Yes you want to but you do not have time for a game related project?
yes, pretty much that
Really funny example of MMO based on VueJS, HTML/CSS and NodeJS - twitter.com/vovchisko/status/11052...
I like PhaserJS, it's simple and funny to make games!
Oooh! Babylon looks fun! Currently have a few Phaser projects going though... maybe I should finish up one or two of tho... ooh look! A 3D rendering of a deserted house! 3demo.giroptic.io/
:D
started 10
finished -2
I would like to mention Godot Engine it also make use of JavaScript for HTML5 exports. Leaning curve is decent and they recently release 3.0
