Arcade game in browser (programming.dev)

Back in the 90s, it was a game as Java applet. But then somebody removed all those nice plugins. I ported it a while back to C#, made it into desktop (Gtk, WinForms etc), but now finally, it returns - with WebAssembly - back into the browser, where this originally "remastered from DOS" game began 😀

Omg I played so much Digger as a kid. When we got a new computer I had to turn off Turbo to play it.

I've not played this before. It looks a bit like Mr. Do!

that's so cool! I honestly never thought about using Skia to render a game, but it seems like a good option especially when it's simple 2D graphics that's being deployed on the web as well.

My mum still plays this daily. Had done for years. So can't get beyond level 6 though 🤣

They actually remastered this game for the Playstation 3! I couldn't believe it! I STILL can't believe it!
