Top 23 TypeScript Game development Projects

BabylonJS
Babylon.js is a powerful, beautiful, simple, and open game and rendering engine packed into a friendly JavaScript framework.
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.

composer-suite
A suite of libraries for making game development with Three.js and React not only awesome, but so good, it would feel wrong to use anything else.
I am working full-time on a suite of libraries for building games with Three.js and React; this suite is called the Composer Suite, and its growing number of libraries and applications all live in a single monorepo. In this post, I will describe the tools I use to manage this repository, and to make both the development as well as the releasing of new packages and package versions as painless as possible.

hello-worlds
Virtual javascript worlds at planetary scales for your threejs or react-three-fiber scene 👋🌐
I've even broken the code apart and published some re-usable npm libraries (@hello-worlds/planets) Here's the code on github (https://github.com/kenjinp/hello-worlds). The atmosphere scattering shader is an (unoptimized) mashup of a bunch of code from SimonDev's tutorial series and random bits I've found on shader-toy. The ocean shader is pretty much all from this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lctXaT9pxA0&t=1s) by Sebastian Lague.

Project mention: inks2d - A free no-dependency Typescript Game Engine designed for developing 2D games | /r/opensource | 2023-05-08

Nice. Looks really good. I love procedural terrain that isn't studded with local low points (lakes) too. If you are looking for an algorithm that's much quicker to compute (N*log(N) worst case) but admittedly but quite as realistic, this is what I came up with: https://github.com/mrdunk/flowing-terrain It's fairly easy to implement.
