RedSquare Shooter: A vanilla JS browser game prototype (gameplay video) (infosec.pub)

Hi folks,

I've been practicing game loop logic and input handling by building a small browser shooter entirely in vanilla JavaScript. No frameworks, no build tools—just a single index.html file.

Tech highlights: • Custom virtual joystick with unified mouse/touch input • requestAnimationFrame game loop with velocity-based movement • Boundary collision and smooth 60FPS rendering • ~300 lines of readable, commented JS

This post: Gameplay video showcase of the current prototype.

Looking for feedback on: • Code structure: Any anti-patterns or modern JS improvements? • Input handling: Is the joystick math clean enough? • Performance: Any obvious bottlenecks for low-end devices?

Happy to share the source code if anyone wants to review or tinker. Thanks for your time and constructive thoughts!
