JavaScript open source game development engine/lib?


Hey HN, I'd like to make an indie roguelike+cardgame for fun(at first), what is nowadays a good game development engine/lib that you would recommend?

Godot [0] is super intuitive, so I recommend it wholeheartedly. And then you ought to look at the Godot Card Game Framework [1], which I've also used for a uni project.

The author has a couple of examples (check their Github repo), which you can play online [2][3]. Also, join the Discord (check the repo for a link). The community is very friendly and helpful (just be sure to learn Godot first, though).

Phaser [0] is good!

I made a fun (for me!) little game in it!
