Web Browser Game Development
Framework selection and browser-specific principles.
1. Framework Selection
Decision Tree
What type of game?
│
├── 2D Game
│ ├── Full game engine features? → Phaser
│ └── Raw rendering power? → PixiJS
│
├── 3D Game
│ ├── Full engine (physics, XR)? → Babylon.js
│ └── Rendering focused? → Three.js
│
└── Hybrid / Canvas
└── Custom → Raw Canvas/WebGL
Comparison (2025)
| Framework | Type | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Phaser 4 | 2D | Full game features |
| PixiJS 8 | 2D | Rendering, UI |
| Three.js | 3D | Visualizations, lightweight |
| Babylon.js 7 | 3D | Full engine, XR |
2. WebGPU Adoption
Browser Support (2025)
| Browser | Support |
|---|---|
| Chrome | ✅ Since v113 |
| Edge | ✅ Since v113 |
| Firefox | ✅ Since v131 |
| Safari | ✅ Since 18.0 |
| Total | ~73% global |
Decision
- New projects: Use WebGPU with WebGL fallback
- Legacy support: Start with WebGL
- Feature detection: Check
navigator.gpu
3. Performance Principles
Browser Constraints
| Constraint | Strategy |
|---|---|
| No local file access | Asset bundling, CDN |
| Tab throttling | Pause when hidden |
| Mobile data limits | Compress assets |
| Audio autoplay | Require user interaction |
Optimization Priority
- Asset compression - KTX2, Draco, WebP
- Lazy loading - Load on demand
- Object pooling - Avoid GC
- Draw call batching - Reduce state changes
- Web Workers - Offload heavy computation
4. Asset Strategy
Compression Formats
| Type | Format |
|---|---|
| Textures | KTX2 + Basis Universal |
| Audio | WebM/Opus (fallback: MP3) |
| 3D Models | glTF + Draco/Meshopt |
Loading Strategy
| Phase | Load |
|---|---|
| Startup | Core assets, <2MB |
| Gameplay | Stream on demand |
| Background | Prefetch next level |
5. PWA for Games
Benefits
- Offline play
- Install to home screen
- Full screen mode
- Push notifications
Requirements
- Service worker for caching
- Web app manifest
- HTTPS
6. Audio Handling
Browser Requirements
- Audio context requires user interaction
- Create AudioContext on first click/tap
- Resume context if suspended
Best Practices
- Use Web Audio API
- Pool audio sources
- Preload common sounds
- Compress with WebM/Opus
7. Anti-Patterns
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do |
|---|---|
| Load all assets upfront | Progressive loading |
| Ignore tab visibility | Pause when hidden |
| Block on audio load | Lazy load audio |
| Skip compression | Compress everything |
| Assume fast connection | Handle slow networks |
Remember: Browser is the most accessible platform. Respect its constraints.

fastapi-mastery
Comprehensive FastAPI development skill covering REST API creation, routing, request/response handling, validation, authentication, database integration, middleware, and deployment. Use when working with FastAPI projects, building APIs, implementing CRUD operations, setting up authentication/authorization, integrating databases (SQL/NoSQL), adding middleware, handling WebSockets, or deploying FastAPI applications. Triggered by requests involving .py files with FastAPI code, API endpoint creation, Pydantic models, or FastAPI-specific features.

context7-efficient
Token-efficient library documentation fetcher using Context7 MCP with 86.8% token savings through intelligent shell pipeline filtering. Fetches code examples, API references, and best practices for JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, and other libraries. Use when users ask about library documentation, need code examples, want API usage patterns, are learning a new framework, need syntax reference, or troubleshooting with library-specific information. Triggers include questions like "Show me React hooks", "How do I use Prisma", "What's the Next.js routing syntax", or any request for library/framework documentation.
