@emenel @nasser @maya My heart wants to propose the Lua LÖVE framework (https://love2d.org) in combination with something like LoveFrames (https://github.com/eledot/LoveFrames/wiki/Getting-Started)
But.. I haven't actually tried it yet :/
It's a little work. You have to download LÖVE (a nice cross-platform 5MB binary), then create a little app with LoveFrames set up inside it. Whereas the browser is obviously right there and ready to go.
But it's a lot smaller, more stable, more secure.
I really should try it out.
