[Beginner] Javascript browser game from scratch

[ciro64]

I made a tutorial!

Rectangle Game Tutorial

I introduce concepts one by one. Or rather, I throw them at you and you see immediately what it does. It's not a proper introduction to programming concepts in a more isolated way, so people who never touched code before might feel a little overwhelmed. For that reason, I intend to do another tutorial bridging that gap if my motivation keeps up, and then more advanced ones after that.

Let me know what you think of it, or if there's any problems or questions.

Thanks for reigniting my gamedev passion, RGT!

I would have used requestAnimationFrame instead of setInterval

The frequency of calls to the callback function will generally match the displayrefresh rate.

For that specific reason

Window: requestAnimationFrame() method - Web APIs | MDN

The window.requestAnimationFrame() method tells the browser you wish to perform an animation. It requests the browser to call a user-supplied callback function before the next repaint.
