Did you know you can create games with Typescript? 👀
I used @excaliburjs with @EffectTS_ to setup a game scene, all Typescript 🔥
Add XState @statelyai as well for next level results 🚀
And it's all just Typescript ✨
New guest blog post from contributor @jyoung424242 about "Goal-Oriented Action Planning" a super powerful technique for building agents in games. Check out the included sample and add it to your next game!
