  🍃 Learn to code by making games in a JavaScript web-based game editor. (by hackclub)

  

I’m also part of the Sprig team.

This project has been created by many Hack Clubbers, and not only in the development of the engine, editors, firmware and hardware. Hack Club teens handled all logistics/supply. The backings were made by a HCer that taught herself laser cutting. PRs for games are being reviewed and commented upon by 4 teenagers. All front end dev & copy was done by a HCer. The 3d model on the front page was another's first time in Blender.

Our youngest Sprig game dev right now is an 11 year old (https://github.com/hackclub/sprig/pull/443). We have a water sim built by a 13yr old (https://github.com/hackclub/sprig/pull/402). A raycast experiment by a 15yr old (https://github.com/hackclub/sprig/pull/153).

We have so many fun games built already: https://sprig.hackclub.com/gallery.

Hack Clubbers are now running Sprig workshops in their clubs and hackathons - and publishing them for others to use. Others are hosting 'Sprig Jams' to work on games together. Can't wait to see what more comes of this all.
