The Danger Crew: Lessons learned from building an RPG in React
summary
An RPG runs in the browser built with React + Redux and CSS sprites not canvas, using requestAnimationFrame for smooth grid walking and collision, supported by a turn system that is a turn‑based engine with human-readable rollouts so players see step‑by‑step outcomes. A three‑person team builds maps, assets, and music, ships a live playable demo (codepen/localhost), and adds a level editor called Danger Studio JSON level editor so content is separate from application state and save/load and debugging become straightforward.
