Sprig is a web-based JavaScript game editor and fantasy console from Hack Club for building tile-based games, paired with a custom handheld game console hardware kit based on the Raspberry Pi Pico. Users learn to code by creating games in the browser editor, sharing them in a community gallery, and can earn a physical Sprig console that runs the same JavaScript games.
Use cases
- learn to code by making games
- build a tile-based puzzle game in the browser
- get a free handheld game console by shipping a game
- teach kids programming through game creation
- experiment with embedded systems and hardware engineering
- share and remix community-made browser games
When to choose
- you want a beginner-friendly, creative way to learn JavaScript
- you're a teenager interested in earning a free programmable handheld console
- you want a small, focused game engine instead of a large API
- you want to tinker with a disassemblable hardware kit around the RP2040
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade game engine with advanced graphics or physics
- you want to build non-tile-based 3D or commercial games
- you need a general-purpose embedded development environment
- you're not interested in the community gallery submission model
