Project mention: Ask HN: Great text based games to play? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-21

This is a fun one I played recently about shopping in a grocery store, called Aisle. You only have a single command you can give for the whole game, but there's a looot of them you can provide, and it gives you a different ending for each. Part of the fun is trying to figure out what you can say to find another ending. You can play it directly at the link below.

🕹️ WebGL-based VT220 emulator, made as a learning example and frontend for a text adventure

Project mention: Ask HN: Good resource on writing web app with plain JavaScript/HTML/CSS | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-11-16

I purposely wrote my home page (https://langworth.com) with plain, vanilla JavaScript, which features both WebGL and plaintext clients for a server-side text adventure game, because I wanted to remind myself that it's not that difficult to build something interactive and fun without miles of modern front-end tooling.
It started as a single page but I eventually broke it out into a few files for organization. The WebGL parts are lengthy and boilerplate-y because, well, that's GL for you. https://github.com/statico/langterm
