Summary

Homegames is a free, open-source game platform that lets users play, make, and share games in the browser, with a code editor and live multiplayer preview. It has been developed as a side project since 2018.

I&#x27;m making a platform for simple open source games you can play anywhere.<p>Games are all just JavaScript classes and you can read the source of every game on the platform.<p>I started working on initial &quot;games&quot; (mostly rendering tests) in 2018 and eventually built all of the platform stuff around it to make it easy to share games.<p>There&#x27;s also an in-browser editor available for you to make and publish games all from the browser.<p>Would love some feedback on the games and studio features as well as the platform overall. All of the code is available at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;homegamesio" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;homegamesio</a>
