Hello. I am familiar with Electron, though I've never used it. I'm wondering if there's any technology out there that's similar to it, but can also make mobile apps.For context, I have a lot of experience in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, but I know very little about the node community and what technologies exist for it. I want to make a game, the type of game that could be built in HTML 5 (so no heavy graphics or hardware rendering necessary. Mostly a textbased game).For me, coding the logic of the game is the no-brainer. What I don't know, is what technologies I should be using to make it really easy to render (e.g., the UI) the game and make it easy to download and start playing. I have a lot of experience programming, so if there is a better programming language suitable for this task, I wouldn't mind learning that language instead.I'd like the player to be able to download a zip, extract it, and start playing without having to know anything about node, and ideally, not needing to install node in order to play. My emphasis will be on a desktop version, but I know people are going to want a mobile version too, and as far as I can tell, Electron doesn't help with that.The game will be single player, so it won't need a constant internet connection. It will need access to the file system for save games though.Can anyone some node technologies to look into for this? Or, perhaps I just need to know about some best practices. Maybe the solution is to write one "backend" for the game, but to front ends: Electron for the desktop front end, and something else I haven't heard of for the mobile backend?
