Advantages:

  • runs in a web browser
  • very easy to code with

Disadvantages:

  • does not compile to a binary
  • is capped at JS speeds
  • has limited resolution

Runs at industry standard speed.

is capped at JS speeds

So, just like every Electron app?

Are you trying to make games in electron?

[-] Pfnic@feddit.ch 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There is actually a decently popular game made in Electron that just recently switched to Unity. RIP

Vampire Survivors. I was pretty surprised when I looked at the game files

Except worse, because it's an electron app interpreting the app you actually want to run, so double slowness.

How's tutorials and troubleshooting resources vs unity? Being able to Google answers is super important.

Bro really needs docs in order to program with frickin' blocks

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I think there's likely more scratch tutorials though the advanced stuff just requires a basic understanding of logic.

Check out turbowarp desktop. You can make a bigger stage and export to exe.
