I thought you - I - should make a game. So I made one. It's a Trading Card Game in the browser, built with Svelte 5. It's silly. The gameplay is shallow, it copies concepts from another game, and...

Svelte 5 was finally released after a long development cycle, and it brings the concept of runes, which changes the state paradigm quite a bit compared to Svelte 3/4. I stayed away from Svelte during...
