Sharing Saturday #369
This week I've been migrating my game's graphics from simple HTML manipulation, which was slow, to manually drawing on the HTML5 Canvas, which also turned out to be slow. And then testing out web rendering libraries such as PixiJS and WGLT (WebGL Terminal). Some such simple WebGL library feels like the way to go. I've still to try out Fastiles (by Ondras, the Rot.js author) and the older UnicodeTiles.js.

Web roguelike in to the tune of DND.EXE
https://github.com/tapio/unicodetiles.js is a very good library. Does both ASCII and tiles, doesn't use any framework so is as fast as they come, can switch between DOM/canvas/webgl.

Week 6 - Parts 10 & 11: Save/load and leveling up
Two, I'd like to dive into TypeScript. I don't think I'll go back to convert everything, but I would probably use TS for new bits, or if I tackle the tutorial again. Related, /u/codyebberson's WGLT looks like a nice alternative to rot.js, so eventually I'll explore that.

Doing a ROT.js version of the libtcod tutorial. Part 0 up now.
Nice! If you enjoy Rot, checkout https://github.com/codyebberson/wglt, its based off libcod and rot

Update: WGLT is blazing fast for drawing ASCII in the browser!
I can now confirm that WGLT (WebGLTerminal) is extremely fast. Thanks to /u/JamesGecko for the recommend.

PixiJS text rendering is slow: Text vs. sprite graphics on the web
Also check out WGLT, a performance-focused WebGL roguelike toolkit. Not sure how battle tested it is, though.
