On this topic: has anyone seen a web game with anything beyond a rudimentary UI that’s in canvas?

For RPG inventory menus and management I love putting DOM on top of my canvas frame. I’m not sure I’ve seen any good examples of rich UIs in canvas, though I’m sure some exist.

I think an example would be the famous 2D Action RPG CrossCode [0] which is a game that was made using the canvas alone [1]. I doubt that the UI in that game is made using the DOM.

Check out shapez.io. It has an full rpg/builder UI (I think in canvas), and the full code is up on github.

Oooh thanks. A full RPG UI builder has got my attention!

I’ll check it out when I’m at work as their website just says that there’s no mobile support. :/

Full builder game w ui, not ui builder :D
