Phaser

Building an interactive browser game would be a compelling approach and definitely viable today.

Modern browser game frameworks like Phaser or Pixie.js are specifically designed for this.

offering tools for efficient performance, rich visuals, and seamless interaction, perfect for creating an immersive virtual journey.

And so what is the difference between the programming of a modern browser game that was phone compatible and what we're currently doing?

Okay.

Tell me about like the things that I would have to kind of overcome or I guess not overcome but like learn or figure out how to use like the game engine and stuff.

To build a browser game, key areas you'd need to explore include learning game engines like Phaser, which simplify tasks like rendering, physics, and asset management.

You'll also need strong JavaScript skills for interactivity and understanding cross-platform compatibility to ensure a smooth user experience.

If a user visits from an unreliable 3G connection, they could spend 500 milliseconds watching a game page that would normally appear immediately.

If we tried to build this in with Phaser or another one of these popular but large games, users who already expected something bad from us would rage quit and never return.

So we had to come up with a game with strict constraints for load time, must load in less than 100 ms.

No third-party game dependencies.
