BrowserQuest VS Phaser

Habitica creator here, randomly popping in. The Warrior set is the OG - it comes from Mozilla's BrowserQuest. When I started the Kickstarter, I had a bright-idea for programming and no art talent. I asked that team personally if I could use their assets, which are Creative Commons (their codebase open source). The project was to showcase the capabilities of JavaScript for game dev (this was around the death of Flash, think RuneScape). They said yes, generous as that foundation is.

Check https://github.com/mozilla/BrowserQuest is a small mmorpg created by Mozilla to showcase web sockets

Just use an actual game framework https://phaser.io/

Phaser (MIT/JS) https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser

I used the Phaser framework to build the game! I didn't pick it for any particular reason, I just saw that they were offering prizes at the end of the game jam so I thought it'd be a good choice. In hindsight, once again, I should have read the fine print and realized that Phaser is very large for this kind of game jam, but MOVING ON.

Phaser: I've actually used this engine before! It's pretty decent if you're just making small browser games and really easy to use. I taught a programming class to kids aged 10-15 and we used this for a couple of projects. They had no problem making some decent games with it. MIT Licensed and would definitely recommend giving it a go if you want to make something that has the same sort of style as older browser flash games we all used to play on Miniclip and other similar sites.

https://phaser.io/ is a great framework to get started with

I love playing video games, especially console and mobile games. I learned about Phaser (an open source framework for building games with JavaScript) last year and have wanted to try out game development using the skills I already have as a web developer.
