Game Programming for Education in JavaScript
summary
A Thai typing game gets built in a weekend and ships to the App Store then gets packaged as native desktop apps with Electron; implementation uses createjs for sprites and parallax, requirejs for modules and Gulp + BrowserSync for instant reloads, with Cordova and the Cordova keyboard plugin to fix iOS keyboard and audio pauses. Core 2D loop is ~150 lines, repo is a few thousand, and the app hits 60 FPS on iPhone 5/6 after Cordova fixes.
