CodeMirror VS PixiJS

codemirror - a code editor component for the web

massCode uses Codemirror as the basis for the editor and .tmLanguage as the grammar for syntax highlighting. This tandem opens the door to over 600 existing grammars. The application currently supports more than 160 grammars. In addition to .tmLanguage, the application supports .tmTheme for themes. There is also…

After giving up countless times since I started this project, I finally managed to dig the dark secrets of Pyodide and run pyTermTk on a browser, all of this, of course, thanks to the magic of xterm.js. I know, my friend, I know what you are thinking, I was disgusted at first picturing that hideous javascript defiling the python purity of my code, but, when I saw my red pepper shining on webkit engine, well, I couldn't hold back a tear. And after that, who am I to not include also an editor and my collection of demos and examples? So, here it is, a super minimal buggy and feature incomplete pyTermTk Sandbox

syntax highlighting is simple with https://codemirror.net/

Can CodeMirror 2 be used to highlight code from a DIV or PRE tag (without the editor)?

There sure is, take a look at Code Mirror

Codemirror is open source, so you can look at, clone and experiment with its actual code as much as you like to figure out how it works.

Developed using the LAMP stack mainly because I'm more of a back-end (PHP) dev, and for various other reasons, like affordable web servers. The front-end is vanilla JavaScript (AJAX for dynamic stuff). I also use CodeMirror to provide the visual-code editor for programmers.

If you're into video game dev, then PixiJS is something you need to know about. It's a HTML5 game engine that provides a lightweight 2D library across all devices. This latest update has a new package structure, custom builds, graphics API overhaul, and lots more. You can read about all these changes in the PixiJS Migration Guide. Also big congrats to PixiJS for being part of the open source community for ten years now! 😮.

For full web games (yeah, I come from the web, so I try to make my family proud), I will recommend PixiJS. It has great support for TypeScript and works very well with Vite. It's lighter than other game engines, so it's better for web games. But you will need to do a lot of things by yourself.

That approach works well for what I was trying to archive but I am planning on adding more functionality into the website. Hence in this article, let me rebuild the project using Pixi.js and it’s React binding, React Pixi.

There's also a bunch of Javascript game engines: https://github.com/collections/javascript-game-engines

Of those, BabylonJS seems pretty powerful for 3D: https://www.babylonjs.com/games/

Or PixiJS for 2D: https://pixijs.com/

https://pixijs.com/ is more of a 2D rendering framework, but powerful and very fast
