you can make a voxel mining game with procedural textures in only about 100 lines of code using LittleJS. this is one of the short examples that comes with the engine.

with some major help from claude we rewrote the entire game to run in C++ with a new rendering system for Dreamcast. the port itself was mostly straightforward. getting it to run at 60fps was the hard part that took a lot of iteration and technical work.

just tested out my new dreamcast homebrew at a local game show and it worked! booted from the disk with music and everything. saw a slight glitch i still need to fix but otherwise feels good.

It's easy. 🛠️ Over 100 short examples, each a single file you can read in a minute. 65 open source arcade games to build on. One script tag and you're drawing sprites, no build step unless you want one. github.com/KilledByAPix...

Frank Force @frankforce.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

It's fast. ⚡ I wanted to know how LittleJS really stacks up, so I built an open benchmark: sprites and lit 3D cubes, same test for every engine. LittleJS keeps up with the fastest paths of PixiJS, Three.js and PlayCanvas, and leads in several. Try it: killedbyapixel.github.io/webgl-engine...

Frank Force @frankforce.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

It's small. 🐁 The whole engine, with 3D, Box2D physics and sound, is about 100 KB gzipped. The core is 36 KB. A bundled 2D game ships at around 26 KB.

Frank Force @frankforce.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Choo-Choo! LittleJS now does 2D and 3D. 🚂💨 New website, and the whole page runs on the engine.

Made a quick trailer for GoYomi, my free 9×9 Go trainer with an AI coach. New since last time: select "Their idea" to see what your opponent is planning, and you can play by keyboard or by ear with a screen reader. ▶ killedbyapixel.github.io/GoYomi

that would be cool to see. im going to hit some local game shops later this week and try it on one of their setups.

010

Frank Force @frankforce.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The part I use most: hints when I'm stuck, and "their idea", which shows what the AI is planning to do to me. You can take back any move and try something else. There are 156 puzzles from real games too. 🚀

Frank Force @frankforce.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Don't let the friendly coach fool you. The top level is stronger than any human! It reads 22 moves ahead, plays the last 22 perfectly, and holds its own against Edax, one of the strongest Reversi programs. 🧠

100

Frank Force @frankforce.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I made this because I wanted to get better at Reversi but had no idea what I was doing wrong. So the coach grades each move and tells you why, in plain words. Here it is catching me giving away a corner. 👍

Frank Force @frankforce.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The first boot was barely 11 fps. So we replaced the stock GL layer with a custom PowerVR renderer and did some other optimizations to get it to a solid 60 fps in the Flycast emulator.

Frank Force @frankforce.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

It wasn't easy and I had to help solve some of the tougher bugs and weird graphical glitches we saw along the way. Everything is running smooth now!

Frank Force @frankforce.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I've seen some cool stuff made by Claude so I wanted to try an AI-assisted retro port. This game was the perfect candidate: small, self contained, everything procedural. So I let Claude hammer on it, rewriting it in C++ and testing it against the original.
