This project shows how to apply more complex patterns popular in business applications while staying true to the Go ideas, and not copying them blindly from Java.
In the Go community, you’ll often hear people say „just keep things simple” beats all patterns and is all you need. This may be true if you write a CLI tool or a small library, but if you have a team maintaining a big application, some patterns are super helpful.

This is great. I feel it's missing something about delta time though.
Thanks! I had a paragraph about delta time but since Ebitengine works based on the TPS, I eventually decided to drop it to not make it confusing.
Here's a good summary, I think I'll link it in my post: https://ebitencookbook.vercel.app/blog/2022/04/16/TPS

Very cool stuff! I had a lot of fun getting all the powerups and becoming massively overpowered. :)
How was using Go targeting wasm (I presume)? I'm personally concerned about compilation times being super long, but I guess I've never tried...
Glad to hear that! :D
As mentioned in the other comment, the heavy lifting is done by Ebitengine: https://ebitengine.org/en/documents/webassembly.html
Go supports compiling to wasm, and it's as simple as:
GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go build -o web/game.wasm
IMO you chose wrong tech for the job. It is very simple 2D game yet it starts 5s on my desktop and 20s on my phone. If I would to make a simple game and even simplest program starts 20s I would stop right there and choose different technology.
You probably did it to try Go, wasm and ECS and I understand that, but if you to make a game seriously, you should have stopped much earlier. In the early stage of the game development you should made 5-10 prototypes using different tech/frameworks and use the best one. I seriously don't see Go+wasm+ESC being the best one for this kind of game.
How can you not go insane if you have to wait 20s for every page refresh.
It's not a "serious" project. I chose Go specifically because I like the language (and Ebitengine is super fun to work with) and I like the idea behind ECS. I made games with Unity before, which you could consider a "serious" engine, but the fun of development is nowhere near what I experienced here.
Thinking about what would be the most efficient engine for the game would kill all the fun for me and the project wouldn't exist. :)
I recently reworked a CI pipeline over two weeks, and it was a nightmare to make tiny changes, push it, and wait 5-10 minutes to see another error because of a YAML typo.
If possible, I try to shorten this feedback loop early.
Another option is picking something radically different to work on for a while, if possible.
