Wireworld! Svelte Edition

Svelte

Every three months, Root sets aside three days (called "hack days") for all its engineers to work on something of their choice. This time around I wanted to have some fun and also learn a little about Svelte (Root mostly uses React & React Native). So I chose to make a browser-based Wireworld using Svelte!

Hammer.js

I had no idea how bad listening for things like key presses and dragging events are today. Given how nice and fairly standard a lot of the APIs across browsers and platforms have become, I was shocked at how rough this space is. I think if I had to do this again, this will be one area where I defer to a library (like hammer.js).
