Description
A growing collection of browser-based board games — starting with Go — hosted as Cloudflare Workers. The constraint is the interesting part: how much game can you build with no backend? All game state lives client-side. Static assets serve for free. The entire suite runs on Cloudflare's free tier, which means it could scale to significant traffic before costing a dollar. Future plans include real-time multiplayer via Durable Objects, persistent leaderboards via D1, and expanding the suite with more classic board games.
Technical Details
- All game state client-side
- Cloudflare Workers hosting on free tier
- Scales to 50M requests/month under $25
- Future: Durable Objects multiplayer, D1 leaderboards
