I have taken a similar approach for the few modest games and fun tools I've developed. Twenty years ago, I would have likely turned to C or Perl, carefully weighing their pros and cons for maximum portability.
But these days I just whip an HTML page with some CSS and JavaScript. My tools are not performance intensive, so this approach has served me well. Perhaps, one day, I'll use WASM for similar projects when performance becomes a concern.
I have found HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript to be very effective for writing small games. If sound is needed, there is Web Audio available too, right within the web browser. It is quite possible to write simple games without using any external JS libraries by sticking to first principles only: drawing simple shapes with fillRect(), implementing simple collision detection algorithms, generating simple tones using OscillatorNode, etc. Here is one such game I wrote sometime back: <https://susam.net/invaders.html>.
Also, by embedding all CSS and JavaScript into a single HTML file, the game/tool becomes instantly portable. All we need to do is host the HTML file somewhere, or send the file to someone, in order to share the game.

Project mention: Show HN: Convert a sprite sheet into a GIF with one click (open source) | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-05
I built a free web tool that turns sprite sheets (often used for video game character animations) into GIFs.
Upload your spritesheet image, and then use the controls to set row / column count, frame duration, and image offset margins.
The tool then converts your sprite sheet into a GIF file.
Completely free and open source (MIT license).
Github repo: https://github.com/collidingScopes/spritesheet-to-gif
Any suggestions or feedback would be much appreciated!
