Pulado

A web arcade game engine that lets users build and play mashups of classic arcade rules (e.g., Breakout + Space Invaders), with 10,000+ user-built games and 2+ million plays. Recently revived after Flash's demise: the Flash client was fixed to run in Ruffle and the engine was converted to Haxe, while the game editor was rewritten from ASP to JavaScript and now includes an AI agent that helps configure game settings and generate fresh pixel artwork in addition to the manual editor.
