📺Here's a video of my #js13k game, 13attle TanKs.

🕹 Play here: https://t.co/7sexlaT9xE

👉 It's a top-down tank-controls action shooter game made with a custom game engine in JavaScript.

🙏 Let me know what you think!

@krassenstein @AbdulElSayed This hits me so hard on a personal level as someone of a fairly obscure religion. Religious freedom is so important to me as an American. I would hope we can all understand the constitution in a way where we don't attack people of other religions.

LittleJS now does 2D and 3D! 🚂🎉

The same tiny, fast, open source JavaScript engine. Now with a full 3D renderer in the same canvas as your 2D game, level editors built in, a particle effects library, a faster core, and tools for making games with AI.

you can make a voxel mining game with procedural textures in only about 100 lines of code using LittleJS.

this is one of the short examples that comes with the engine.

@KilledByAPixel What? Copyright takedown?

[Lewis Nakao @lewdev]

@travjenjunkie @FWD4Democracy @allenanalysis Japan does that. They just start things later, which is less confusing.

[Lewis Nakao @lewdev]

@KilledByAPixel That was awesome! It really shows the potential of the engine if you get through the entire demo.

every SP13KTRA skybox, stacked 🌈

all eight panoramic skies are now baked into textures for the Dreamcast port. It draws faster and looks better too! 👍

My new game SP13KTRA is out! 🌈🚀

8 racers, 8 tracks, 8 songs, real 3D, and it all fits in 13K.

Play in your browser on desktop or phone: mouse, keyboard, gamepad or touch.

[Frank Force 🌻 @KilledByAPixel]

here's the magic trick behind how I fit 8 music tracks in my #js13k game SP13KTRA. 🌈🚀

every song is defined by a single number. 😯

the random generator uses 26 dice rolls per track for its parameters. i used AI to make this music bench to find a good seed to fit each level.

The whole game fits in just 13 kilobytes, including the engine, rendering, and music. 👀

@DBpyramid @theojaffee In 1820s, lots of things were never done before like documenting every beetle in your province. The nerds of the past have done all of it. All that's left are video games and even those are getting marked "done" already.
