Chapter 1: Introduction to Svelte Gaming

In my writing, I often explore valuable libraries and projects across various programming languages and frameworks. Today, I want to highlight Svelte, a framework primarily used for web applications. However, its versatility extends beyond traditional applications; you can also create games using Svelte. Below, you'll find several examples that demonstrate its capabilities.

Before diving into the fun of Emoji Bingo, remember that all the games listed are open-source. This means you can inspect the code, understand how these games are built, and even modify them to create your own versions.

Here are five Svelte-based games to check out:

Learn Svelte By Making A Matching Game - This video tutorial walks you through the process of building a matching game using Svelte, giving you practical insights into the framework.

Snake Game

This classic game offers four different modes, complete with music and impressive visual effects. While it works well on laptops, feel free to try it on a smartphone as well. The tech stack includes SvelteKit, Vite, ESBuild, Felt, and Gro.

Hacker Feud

If you're in search of a fun team-building activity for your fellow developer colleagues, Hacker Feud is an excellent choice. This game is inspired by Family Feud, where you take on the role of host, and two teams compete by answering coding-related questions. It primarily utilizes vanilla Svelte and showcases the Rollup bundler. I can easily envision forking this project and changing the questions to different topics for even more enjoyment.

Emoji Bingo

Another entertaining group game, Emoji Bingo lets you and your friends join in using your laptops or smartphones. It's fascinating to see how sirv-cli simplifies the process of serving a static page.

Blackjack

Thanks to John Coppola, we can experience a classic Blackjack game powered by Svelte, Jest, and TypeScript. This project is particularly insightful for those interested in learning how to write unit tests effectively.

Hexagonal Pipes

If you're a puzzle enthusiast, you should definitely check out Hexagonal Pipes. This game features a 2D mechanics rotating puzzle that offers an intriguing coding experience.

That's everything I have for today. I hope you enjoy this list, and in addition to playing, you’ll pick up some valuable insights about Svelte and coding. I’m confident that engaging with these projects will make your learning experience both enjoyable and rewarding.

I love to recreate such games, experiment with the code, and observe how it influences gameplay. If you're interested in more content about Svelte and similar projects, please clap, subscribe (even via email), and share. Your engagement helps me determine future topics.

By the way, I'm currently designing a fantasy-themed Svelte flashcards game. At the time of this writing, you can pre-order it at a discounted rate. Be sure to check it out!
