• Collecting data for Gamedev.js Survey 2023

  The new approach this year is a pre-survey ask for help updating the questions, which the community answered. We had multiple Pull Requests on GitHub with valuable additions, which we then rewarded. It all wouldn’t be possible without this year’s partner: we had support from Grant for the Web in 2021, OP Games in 2022, and 2023 was saved by Poki, for which we’re incredibly grateful. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Are there any really good Browser Games??

  I personally use three three websites when I wanna goof around for a bit, but there are tons of other sites like it. Https://www.mmobomb.com/browsergames Https://poki.com/ Https://www.crazygames.com/. Source: 7 months ago

• Recommendations for short horror web games

  Ideally hosted somewhere like itch.io, crazygames.com, newgrounds.com or poki.com. Source: 9 months ago

• React Typescript - I have multiple react apps in one react app. How to separate out the code so that one app is not using another app's code.

  But if you're doing a larger project, especially if others will be writing the sub-apps (think of something like poki.com where 3rd-party content is hosted) then you probably want a separation, not at the code level, but at the build/runtime level. You see, even with code separation the sub-apps share session/local storage and so can mess with one another. The standard approach here is iframes. Have your player... Source: about 1 year ago

• Any games of this genre without ads?

  I turned into webgames recently. A publisher like poki.com has ads but few and it's a pleasure to play there now. Source: about 1 year ago

• Featured Mod of the Month: Anita Olsen

  Anita: I have lifetime access to the subscription-based code-learning website, CodeCombat, where I enjoy learning Python and taking all the Game Development courses offered there. Those games I made were a part of the Game Development 1 and 2 courses (there is also a 3rd course) on CodeCombat. You code the games entirely on your own from scratch by the use of the knowledge you have gathered from the lessons in the... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze

  And https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now. I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• What can I do?

  So now, while you have time (yes you have no time now but when you are out of school working with a child and or no summer vacation you will have less time) you can try MIT Scratch or CodeCombat and learn to code. For you it's a long the goal is to make 1 app or a handful of apps in 4 years until you graduate. That's absolutely doable even for someone who knows 0 about coding. Then when you graduate, if you are... Source: 7 months ago

• What Programming Languages are Best for Kids?

  You can also have a look on Erase All Kittens (quite interesting) and also Code Combat. Source: 11 months ago

• And DigTech teachers willing to share?

  Https://codecombat.com/ is REALLY good, the free levels have enough content for ~10 weeks for an intro to programming term. Source: about 1 year ago
