GameHub Dev Notes — Web Game Engineering

Case studies in browser game engineering: rendering runtime selection, netcode patterns, and state architecture, drawn from the games we review.

All notes

• Rebuilding Classic 2D Grid Mechanics in Vanilla JavaScript without Framework Overhead
• Client Prediction and Server Authority: Netcode Patterns from Browser Shooters
• Canvas vs. WebGL vs. DOM: Choosing the Rendering Runtime for Browser Games

These notes formalize the engineering observations made in our game post-mortems: the Mind Bender review demonstrates the DOM pattern, the Bloxd.io review demonstrates WebGL chunking, and the Masked Special Forces review demonstrates rewind-based hit registration. Read a post-mortem first for the game, its dev-note for the engineering.
