Deno is a secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript built on Google’s V8 engine and the Rust programming language. It was created by Ryan Dahl, the same person who originally developed Node.js. In 2018, during his talk “10 Things I Regretted about Node.js,” Dahl announced Deno as his way to fix past mistakes and improve productivity.
Unlike Node.js, Deno combines the runtime and package manager into a single executable. It aims to streamline development, improve security by default, and offer a more modern workflow. By the way, Deno is just an anagram of Node.
But let’s be honest, while frameworks and runtimes are great, you don’t need to be some V8 or Rust guru to create cool stuff yourself. You can learn to build something like a mini slot machine in minutes, without any fancy infrastructure.
Below you’ll find an example of a simple slot game, put together in 5 minutes on the fly. Feel free to grab the code, tweak it, and see how easy it is to create interactive experiences on your own.
Here’s your quick DIY slot machine, where you can start spinning.
