What is Smolpxl?
Smolpxl is a JavaScript library that enables the creation of retro-style pixelated games, providing a platform for both playing and developing these types of interactive experiences. The library, maintained by a community of volunteer contributors, offers a collection of games that users can explore and enjoy directly through the project's website at https://smolpxl.artificialworlds.net. The focus of Smolpxl is on fostering a fun and accessible gaming environment, without any intrusive data tracking or monetization tactics. Instead, the project aims to encourage users to not only play the available games but also learn how to build their own using the provided resources, such as the detailed tutorial at https://www.artificialworlds.net/blog/2020/10/11/code-your-first-game-snake-in-javascript-on-raspberry-pi/
