In plain words

CodeGuppy is a JavaScript platform for creating retro-style games using arcade-inspired sprites. Launched in 2020, it provides tools for developers and hobbyists to build 2D games with a nostalgic aesthetic similar to MakeCode Arcade. The platform focuses on making game development accessible through its JavaScript-based environment, allowing users to design and code games with pre-made sprite assets and game mechanics built into the system.

    I made a web game called Almost Pong2022 · lessmilk.com · ▲1,135

    Hi HN! I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong. This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code. Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!
