Show HN: Homegames. An open-source game platform I've been making for 8 years

I'm making a platform for simple open source games you can play anywhere.

Games are all just JavaScript classes and you can read the source of every game on the platform.

I started working on initial "games" (mostly rendering tests) in 2018 and eventually built all of the platform stuff around it to make it easy to share games.

There's also an in-browser editor available for you to make and publish games all from the browser.

Would love some feedback on the games and studio features as well as the platform overall. All of the code is available at https://github.com/homegamesio

Nice! I actually didn’t know the rendering stuff could support anything pseudo-3D like that until yesterday.

Does anyone remember "Shoot 'Em Up Construction Kit" on the Amiga?

And for the Commodore 64.

One thing I forgot to mention is all of these games run server side and thin clients just render and send input back to the server. So a game session needs to exist for the back and forth communication to work.

Theoretically you could do this all client side too, but that would remove the magic of every game getting multiplayer for free
