Any advice around using Phaser?

[Vikti]

Hi,

Previously, my team was developing HTML5 games using Phaser (https://phaser.io/). Given the many niceties it provides, I'd like to know what your recommendations are around using it?

I've read the guidelines, and that it's use is not recommended. As the game we were asked to adapt to BGA has non-standard shaped fields (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/276629/castle-mind), it seems pretty hard to use only dojo.

I don't think Phaser would be of any help for adapting board games.
Working with non-standard shaped fileds is really not that hard if you know how to use either clip-path css property or svg.

Thanks, SVG can probably do the trick

Phaser is a *huge* library, Video Game oriented, clearly it's not a good fit for board games on BGA (although it should be fun, I admit )

Indeed for complex shapes SVG is great and easy to use.

IIRC Phaser uses (or used) Pixi.js, which can be of some use if you need advanced thingies.
