Theory vs Practice
Dont follow this path. Computers are nowadays fast enough so you do not need a low level language. Take a different language and use the libraries. I think a while ago Romero recommended LUA with corona sdk, now called solar 2d https://solar2d.com/

Thirteen Potions Build Log
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.

Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers
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.
