Using PHP and JavaScript for Mobile Game Development

    Hey everyone,
    I’m curious about mobile game development and how PHP and JavaScript can play a role in the process. I know that most mobile games rely on game engines like Unity or Unreal, but I’ve seen PHP and JavaScript being used for backend and front-end web games, and I’m wondering if they have practical applications in mobile game development too.
    Has anyone here used PHP or JavaScript in their mobile game projects? If so, how did you implement it, and what challenges or benefits did you encounter? I’d love to hear your insights or any advice on where these languages might fit in the mobile game dev stack.

    Thanks!

    I guess technically react native is javascript so...

    Flutter has a game engine - that's dart. LightShip is meant to be very good, I'm not sure what the scripting language is tho.

    As for the backend, it can be whatever you're comfortable with - you only need to change if you have performance issues.

    While PHP is often used for backend services, like databases or user authentication, JavaScript can be really handy for creating cross-platform games, especially with frameworks like React Native or even game engines that support it. Personally, I've found that using these languages can streamline development and help with quick prototyping, but they can also introduce some challenges regarding performance optimization it depending on your specific project needs. Would love to share more if you’re interested.
