Create a PC game using JavaScript

In the past I created the same game using Phaser (<a href="https://phaser.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://phaser.io</a>) framework - really pleasure to use it. Just fyi - here is other example of Flappy Bird based on <a href="http://phaser.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">phaser.io</a>: <a href="https://github.com/IgorRozani/flappy-bird" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://github.com/IgorRozani/flappy-bird</a> and cool demo <a href="https://igorrozani.github.io/flappy-bird/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://igorrozani.github.io/flappy-bird/</a>

This is so cute! I love Beau’s JS game tutorials.

I’ve never heard of KAPLAY before but I’m also a huge fan of Phaser. Or actually HaxeFlixel which is my preferred way to create a game since it will export to web, desktop and console.

This is interestingggg…would try it

It’s quite interesting, would definitely give it a try!
