Top 23 JavaScript Game development Projects

Phaser
Phaser is a fun, free and fast 2D game framework for making HTML5 games for desktop and mobile web browsers, supporting Canvas and WebGL rendering.
Project mention: Looking for unfiltered feedback on my browser-based platform fighter trailer | reddit.com/r/DestroyMyGame | 2023-03-15Hmm I don't know about tutorials, but I would recommend staying away from the DOM for any game that's real time (so, no React). Instead use a WebGL rendering library like pixi.js. You could also try out a framework/engine like Phaser, which uses pixi under the hood but provides more structure for your project if you're into that.

Project mention: Is it worth learning Three.js in 2023 ? | reddit.com/r/learnjavascript | 2023-03-03
Right now I believe it's still very niche, but with time it will continue to grow and grow. There are a lot of emerging technologies built on three.js that are barely just starting to get off the ground. It's really the core of most Web XR technologies and will still be here when you are ready if you feel node.js is a safer bet right now. If you don't feel confident math wise for it just yet, you can also look into the frameworks built on top of it like A-Frame https://aframe.io to create 3D XR sites and build your knowledge of three.js more slowly over time with a lower bar of entry.

Project mention: does anyone know a game engine the emulates the power and limitations of the snes? | reddit.com/r/snes | 2023-01-10
I know that there are a bunch of "fantasy consoles" that provide constrained programming environments more or less similar to developing on older consoles. Pico-8 and TIC-80 are two well-known ones. Quadplay looks interesting to me, probably a bit more powerful than the SNES, but in the ballpark, in terms of resolution and color capabilities.

Phaser 4 is going with bitECS.

Project mention: Is there a pointer equivalent of declaring an array? | reddit.com/r/C_Programming | 2023-02-18
In addition to what other posters suggested, it could be a good idea to try assembly languages as a way to manually work with locations in memory. Something like Octo could be fun if you want to try memory manipulation without worrying about real-world complexities like syscalls and memory alignment. If you want something extra challenging, you could always try x86 / amd64 assembly. Some C compilers even support inline assembly if you want to mix C and assembly.
