Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • MonoGame

    One framework for creating powerful cross-platform games.

    If you want to be closer to the code, then maybe a lightweight framework like Monogame will be good. You get to code the game in C#.

  • three.js

    JavaScript 3D Library.

    Another thing I recommend is to learn how to make games with ThreeJS (3D) or PixiJs (2D) and build web-based games using javascript. If you want a full-fledged web game engine, then you can take a look at Playcanvas. Playcanvas is similar to unity but for web-based games. If you want to learn all about Three Js then this course will help you a lot.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
