# 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
1. **Asset compression** - KTX2, Draco, WebP
2. **Lazy loading** - Load on demand
3. **Object pooling** - Avoid GC
4. **Draw call batching** - Reduce state changes
5. **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.
## When to Use
This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
## Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

modeling-omnistudio-epc-catalog
IncludedSalesforce Industries CME EPC product-modeling skill for Product2-based catalog creation. Use when creating EPC products, configuring product attributes, building offer bundles with Product Child Items, or reviewing EPC DataPack JSON metadata for product catalog changes. TRIGGER when: user creates or updates Product2 EPC records, AttributeAssignment payloads, AttributeMetadata/AttributeDefaultValues, Offer bundles, or ProductChildItem relationships. DO NOT TRIGGER when: designing OmniScripts/FlexCards/Integration Procedures (use building-omnistudio-omniscript, building-omnistudio-flexcard, or building-omnistudio-integration-procedure), implementing Apex business logic (use generating-apex), or troubleshooting deployment pipelines (use deploying-metadata).
relationship-science-coach
IncludedUse this skill for direct, practical adult relationship coaching: couples conflict, repair, trust, marriage, dating, flirting, attachment patterns, emotional connection, sex, desire differences, eroticism, kink negotiation, affection, love languages, breakups, and long-term passion. Draw on Gottman, EFT and Hold Me Tight, attachment science, modern sex research, Perel, Nagoski, Kerner, Schnarch, Love and Stosny, and flexible love-language tools. Be concrete and low-hedge. Redirect only for imminent danger, abuse, coercive control, minors, non-consent, self-harm, stalking, or medical/legal/psychiatric decisions.
building-sf-integrations
IncludedSalesforce integration architecture and runtime plumbing with 120-point scoring. Use this skill to set up Named Credentials, External Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callout patterns, Platform Events, and Change Data Capture. TRIGGER when: user sets up Named Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callouts, Platform Events, CDC, or touches .namedCredential-meta.xml files. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Connected App/OAuth config (use configuring-connected-apps), Apex-only logic (use generating-apex), or data import/export (use handling-sf-data).
venue-templates
IncludedAccess comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
let-fate-decide
IncludedDraws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
net-ops
IncludedCross-platform network troubleshooting (Windows, macOS, Linux) via local or remote shell. Use for: DNS broken, can't resolve hostnames, nslookup/dig works but apps fail, NRPT, WFP, scutil, /etc/resolver, systemd-resolved, /etc/resolv.conf, NetworkManager, VPN DNS leak residue (ProtonVPN/Mullvad/WireGuard/AnyConnect), AV/firewall blocking DNS or DoH, Tailscale DNS interaction, intermittent connectivity, remote diagnostics over SSH.
