Why did they have to say "cross platform"? Isn't HTML supposed to be cross platform anyway? What do they even mean by 'platform'?

Disclaimer: I really don't know anything about doing games in html/js. The question is honest.

Disclaimer 2: I do remember "write once, run anywhere". It was only mostly right back then.



mobile and desktop devices, because although html is supposed to already be cross platform, in theory, when it comes to games you have to make some assumptions about whether a user is using a mouse or a touch screen or a keyboard, specific screen sizes, testing on obscure browsers running linux and old versions of gecko and things start to break
