Hi, I'm Frank Force. I have 30+ years experience making video games and development tools.

I create and maintain small, fast, practical JavaScript game dev projects including LittleJS, ZzFX, JSONCrush, and more. I also release games and experiments (often open source), write detailed technical breakdowns, and occasionally give live talks.

Sponsorship helps me spend more time on maintenance, documentation, onboarding, and polished examples, so these projects can continue to grow. There are big things ahead, we can only get there together! 🚀
