Games

Six classics, each written three ways against a small shared library (nanopy.py for Python, nanopy.js for JavaScript). Same game, same library shape, different writing style. See the comparison report for code-line counts and a verdict.

Pick a variant to play it. Each row is one game with three flavors:

Kid — Python, module-level functions, no classes or decorators Pro — Python, classes + @on_key decorators + Ticker JS — JavaScript, same library API, same writing style as the kid version

Snake

The classic. Eat the apple, grow longer, don't hit the walls or yourself.

The un-refactored snake/ is also still here as the comparison reference — same game without the library. See the report for what changed.
