HTML5 Canvas games made with AI

The Canvas API is a browser feature for drawing graphics with JavaScript on an HTML canvas element. MDN lists animation, game graphics, data visualization, photo manipulation and real-time video processing among its uses, and says it largely focuses on 2D graphics.

Nothing has to be installed. A game can be one HTML file with a canvas element and a script that redraws the screen every frame, so an agent can write and ship it without a build step. The API only draws, so the game loop, input, collisions and sound are code you or an AI write, or come from a library.

WebGL draws hardware-accelerated 2D and 3D graphics on the same canvas element, and OffscreenCanvas also works in web workers.
