Is JavaScript for Web development only or could you actually code games and other stuff?

Answer 1

Yes! Games that run on desktop. Check out www.electron.atom.io

Answer 2

All what Javascript can do is only meant for the web so you have to use HTML to make it usable

Answer 3

If you want to use JavaScript for games they have to be browser based games (I think anyway.) Hope that helps! :)

Answer 4

Yes that's true but look at the differences in code between java and js

Answer 5

Yea you can code games with it! in the new html5 package the canvas html tag makes this super easy. you can easily make 2d games in your web browser or with electron port them to desktop. there are also game development frameworks that use javascript like cocos-2dx to name a popular one, and many more.
