Pivot to Web-based Tech for Scripting in Project Hack

Moving Project Hack from Unity to web technologies—React, TypeScript, and Vite.

I’m pivoting my hacking game Project Hack from Unity to web technologies—React, TypeScript, and Vite.

This shift lets players write JavaScript scripts to hack in-game, using the Monaco editor and a custom terminal. I’m building for desktop with Tauri and adding D3.js for network visualizations.

The game now supports multiple playstyles: click-based or code-based hacking. It’s live on itch.io in early development. This approach eliminates engine constraints and accelerates feature development.
