Game Development
Learn how to create interactive games using P5 Svelte. These examples demonstrate essential game development concepts like collision detection, score tracking, and game state management.
Each example includes fully commented source code and explanations of key game development concepts.
Simple Paddle Game
Paddle and Ball Game
Move your mouse to control the paddle. Keep the ball from falling!

const paddleGameSketch: Sketch = {
setup: (p5) => {
p5._state = {
paddleX: p5.width / 2,
ballX: p5.width / 2,
ballY: p5.height / 2,
ballSpeedX: 5,
ballSpeedY: -5,
score: 0
};
},
draw: (p5) => {
// Game logic here...
},
mousePressed: (p5) => {
// Restart logic...
}

Game Development Tips
Performance Optimization
- Use efficient collision detection algorithms
- Minimize object creation in the game loop
- Implement object pooling for frequently created/destroyed objects
- Use appropriate data structures for game state
State Management
- Keep game state centralized
- Use TypeScript interfaces for type safety
- Implement proper state reset mechanics
- Consider using Svelte stores for global state
User Experience
- Add clear visual feedback
- Implement smooth animations
- Add sound effects (when appropriate)
- Include clear game over and restart mechanics
