Thank you for playing.
Yes, it is pure canvas-API, but I made a template that I call an engine and it saves a lot of time.
Do you have a specific DOM-based UI library that you would suggest, I honestly don't know of any.
The pathfinding is so busted, I tried to shortcut it to save time, and reduced how often it would be needed in a normal match, but you can't guess your way into optimized pathing, I'll see if I can learn more and fix it up.
Incidentally I do know Typescript, I should migrate to it, but my template is in JS which adds inertia. I will really consider making a typescript version of it.
I do use Visual Studio Code, yes.
