Tech Stack

We used Pixi.js, Node.js, Websockets, express

JavaScript is a versatile tool for web development and one we have prior experience in. Pixi.js is a great tool for rendering interactive and fast graphics elements on an HTML canvas. Node allowed us to easily make a back-end server. Websockets allowed us to have quick real-time communication between the players and server with low latency.

Both Pixi and Websockets were completely new to us so there was a somewhat steep learning curve given that many resources were specific to other versions.

We all worked well together and are proud of our fun little game
