tsParticles VS BabylonJS

I wrote an article in 2020 for using Mocha/Chai in a TypeScript project, that I'm using in tsParticles (leave a star if you want 🌟, it's free 👀).

At first, I attempted to create my own particle effect, but I realized it's actually a lot harder than it seems. So I went with a third-party library that is made specially for particles. You can check out the repo https://github.com/matteobruni/tsparticles. They have lots of neat effects.

tsParticles - Easily create highly customizable particles, confetti, and fireworks animations and use them as animated backgrounds for your website. Ready-to-use components available for Reacts, Angular, Svelte, and Web Components.

I had a similar idea. Listen for a sequence of keys like "confetti" and then use https://particles.js.org/ to throw confetti all over the screen

You’re almost done! You just have to configure your particles/objects in order of animation, interaction, direction, opacity, etc. For this illustration, you’ll be using an already preset configuration from the tsparticles repository, but you can always tweak it to your own style or create one from scratch if you’d like.

And last but not least, the two websites (https://particles.js.org and https://confetti.js.org) have two dedicated repositories:

Are you thinking of this, or particles.js? particles.js has been used in Pterodactyl (and probably in other login pages), whereas tsParticles seems to be much more programmable.

You can still use a json config file even with a pure JS implementation from what I see here https://github.com/matteobruni/tsparticles

It's been around for a while, and we've featured it in the April 2019 and March 2022 Release Radars. It's also been in GitHub Game Bytes and on our latest episode of The Download. Yes, I'm talking about Babylon, the powerful web rendering engine for all kinds of graphics. The newest update includes support for basic Global Illumination, a highly requested feature. Read more about other cool new additions including Gaussian Splatting, Ragdoll physics, Procedural Geometry and all the breaking changes in the Babylon release notes.

Wow that site is super cool! So I see most of the 3D stuff is using canvas, maybe three.js or babylon.js or possibly pixi.js.

Sure; I've used [Phaser](https://phaser.io/) before for a game jam like project and I've heard of [PixiJS](https://pixijs.com/) and [Babylon.js](https://www.babylonjs.com/) as options too. I can't really give a good recommendation either way; Phaser was fun to just write TypeScript and see my game, but it felt like a toy compared to Unreal. I'm sure you could really push it to its limits though. You mentioned you know about LibGDX; I don't have experience with it, but it does seem like a viable option.

I’ve only messed around with it a bit, but https://www.babylonjs.com seems impressive
