Questions about no dependencies
What does no dependencies mean?
The project does not pull in any outside libraries. Everything it does, from drawing to physics to sound, is written by hand against the browser's own APIs. Projects tagged zero-dependencies are listed here too.
Why would anyone build without libraries?
For the challenge, for speed, and because the result lasts. A single file loads fast, is easy to read end to end, and keeps working years later because nothing it relies on can change.
Can I read the source?
Usually, and it is easier than most. Each project page links to the GitHub repo, and a no-dependency project often keeps the whole thing in one file you can read top to bottom.
