Design Patterns VS PixiJS

After that, more practice, and then Design Patterns (as in the famous book of the "Gang of Four": "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object Oriented Software"). Here I'd recommend "Head First: Design Patterns" and Java Design Patterns as well as Refactoring Guru (the sites are more reference than course).

For Design Patterns - any resource recommendation that misses Java Design Patterns and Refactoring Guru (also for Refactoring) as well as *Head First: Design Patterns, has failed.

A massive list of design patterns and how they could be implemented (in Java) can be found here.

https://java-design-patterns.com/ has example code for things like object pools that can help with memory management.

Sidenote: I would not really use the GoF Design Patterns book anymore. Too dry. I would use "Head First: Design Patterns" - much more modern, much easier to read, or Refactoring Guru or Java Design Patterns (uses Java, but again, only for illustrations).

Also: https://java-design-patterns.com and https://refactoring.guru/design-patterns

Use either Java Design Patterns or Refactoring Guru. Both resources are far higher quality than yours.

Java Design Patterns

Java Design Patterns - IMO one of the most accessible sites with very easy explanations

A hint: go to Java Design Patterns and go through the patterns to figure what could fit.

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! 😮.

6. Pixi.js

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.

PixiJS (MIT/TypeScript) https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs

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
