can a game be created using html only?

Question

no use of canvas or js

Answer 1

I don't know if it's possible. For me, I think not. Because JavaScript is the one making your webpage interactive. Not interacting with your page can't be a game.

Answer 2

@Mario L.

Thanks for the links. Those are eye-opening stuff. I hope you don't mind if I share them.

Answer 3

of course it's possible. maybe a text based game with some images and no track of stats. but it's definitely possible.

Answer 4

Yes.

Nope, JavaScript adds the win and loss...
CSS can also be considered for more creative styled codes

Answer 9

@Mario L. your first answer was right, I just don't know what to reply. I remembered the first Web based app I created, Offline shopping site was only pure html😅 and that time was HTML5 didn't exist yet😊

Answer 10

I'd say it isn't possible either, because a game needs you to be able to win or lose, depending on what you do. And if you need to do something, you need JavaScript.

Answer 11

yes completely possible but would be a word game and not much or graphics or action
