ParallAscii - Game Dev with JavaScript

Special Presentation by Sebastian Baum! ParallAscii is a Zelda-style demo that features pseudo-3D Ascii-art graphics and a configurable parallax effect. I've been building the engine that does this exclusively with JavaScript and the Canvas API with no third-party libraries. And I didn't use any LLMs to help me build this—just Sublime Text and Safari. After my talk you'll understand how this works, where I got the idea from and maybe push the boundaries of what you think JavaScript is capable of. All skill levels welcome! The [757Dev Community](757dev.org) means a lot to me, and I thank each of you for your support. 🖖 As always, HUGE thanks to Assembly for hosting. Learn more about the amenities and community of Assembly at https://www.assemblynfk.com/ Street parking is free after 6 pm. From 6:30-7:00 pm, we will have someone at the door to let you in. After 7, message the #javascript channel on 757Dev Slack. We meet in the Fur Room on the 4th floor.
