Ever wondered how games of the 8- and 16-bit era would work if they were built today?

In this talk, we'll build a retro inspired, asynchronous multiplayer platform game using modern web technology. We'll cover building a basic game engine from first principles including rendering, cameras, collision detection, physics, game AIs and entity component systems.

We'll cover how web technology has changed over the last decade allowing for some surprisingly high-fidelity results like full sound and controller support right in your browser.

This is a talk for developers who have never made a game, but have always been curious. We'll learn how your regular web dev skills can be used for something a little more fun!
