Modern game development can be intimidating to newcomers and experts alike. There are a ton of engines to choose from, and most of them are bloated with features that you probably won’t need. Getting a small indie game off the ground can easily require thousands of lines of code spread over a dozen files. There is another way. This panel is an intro into making games and other cool stuff using only a simple web browser and a little bit of code. How much code? We’ll look at some games even shorter than this panel description!

MAGFest, short for "Music And Gaming Festival", is a party dedicated to the appreciation of video game music, gaming of all types, and the gaming community. For more information about MAGFest events, visit https://www.magfest.org.
