JSLegendDev··on Kaboom.js 3000
I think it's entirely WebGL.
JSLegendDev··on Kaboom.js 3000
Kaboom.js is very easy to use and I like it so much that I made 3 youtube tutorials on how to make games with it (using v3000).

I played it on a regular ps4 and there were no bugs.

An example of a game I think should have been a success but wasn't is Counter Spy released for the PS4. It's a really fun game and just stumbled on it in the PS Now catalog.

JSLegendDev··on Show HN: A game about guessing which YT video is the most popular
Hi, glad you found it fun!

It's actually not a predefined pool of videos but rather specific search queries depending on the topic.

To be more precise, when you click on a topic I randomly select a search query containing some keywords among a list for that given topic. I then make an API call using the search endpoint and provide that query. The resulting videos are then used to make the game. So depending on when you play the game the videos selected can be different.

I also made a tutorial video for this project. I go over how to build this exact game step by step here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UHM-4Ub7F4

JSLegendDev··on Ask HN: What web games are you building?
I recently built an arcade/puzzle harvesting game called HARVEST MOVE playable in your browser (On any device with a keyboard) on itch.io. The link : https://jslegend.itch.io/harvest-move

I used the kaboomjs library which is pretty easy to use.

JSLegendDev··on Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell
I'm making a desktop game to be sold on itch.io for 3$ (currently making 0$ because not out yet and it's difficult to make money with games anyway). I'm using JavaScript with the Kaboom.js library and Tauri as the desktop wrapper.

My game is called HARVEST MOVE and it's a grid based movement game where you have to harvest as many plants as possible without getting killed by various animals.

It's a puzzle game disguised as an arcade game.

The game is still in development but I've started posting gifs, screenshots and some art of the game already on Twitter.

Here is my twitter link if you want to check that out : https://twitter.com/JSLegendDev

JSLegendDev··on Ask HN: Are desktop applications still viable for a startup?
Do you have any examples of successful desktop apps? Do they put them on Microsoft's or Apple's stores or they're downloaded from their own websites?
