Unreal.js VS Phaser

There are some links on the GitHub page: https://github.com/ncsoft/Unreal.js

This reminds me of Unreal.js, which allows you to write games with Unreal Engine in JavaScript (V8, to be specific): https://github.com/ncsoft/Unreal.js.

If you wanted to, sure. remake a game engine in js. But remember the hoops you had to go through to make it less efficient than it needs to be. Don't start wondering if you fall behind in graphics quality, number of objects capable of running physics, or framerate.

I have also found a plugin for unreal called unreal.js (https://github.com/ncsoft/Unreal.js).

For example, here is Unreal.js's example for extending the 3rd Person Template: https://github.com/ncsoft/Unreal.js/wiki/Third-Person-Template-in-Unreal.js

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.
