What Tamagotchis Can Teach You About ES6 Generators
summary
A web Tamagotchi is built in canvas with sprite sheets and setTimeout-driven frames, then rewritten from promise chains to ES6 generators so animations can be paused, resumed and cancelled. The concrete claims: promises can't be cancelled, generators can via return and yield delegation, and a small co-routine handling async* glue awaits yielded promises. The demo shows an event queue, a generator game loop, and the final game working live — useful if the goal is practical generator control flow.
