I’m using Claude currently to breakdown how to tackle a top down gaming project in JavaScript/HTML using the Canvas API and TypeScript and template strings - no frameworks.
Eg: Camera positioning, game loop, frame rate vs character speed, game logic, where it should all go etc.
So far I have a green blob being drawn to the screen and moving smoothly to the right.
It’s actually quite fun, I’m enjoying it mostly because I’m not using a framework (for once). Also fun declaring my own DOM manipulation utilities similar to JQuery ($, $$ etc)
We use React daily at work, I think I’m a bit sick of React. Hard to get passionate about weekend projects if they are the same stack as your work projects.
