Hi all,

I made [tetris](https://github.com/djsegal/Tetris.jl) last year and was interested in making a new video game widget.

Does anyone know the current state of the widget ecosystem? What packages would be conducive to developing a javascript/css/html based video game that can run in jupyter/juno/etc?

Thanks!

**edit:** looked into this some more and it kind of looks like the following analogy:

- WebIO.jl `->` Plots.jl
- Blink.jl `->` PyPlot.jl

Will probably just use [Blink](https://github.com/JunoLab/Blink.jl), so there’s one standardized electron outcome
