About Digger Dash
Digger Dash is our own open-source excavator game, written in plain HTML5 canvas and released under the MIT licence. It runs directly in this page, on desktop and mobile, with nothing to install.
You control a tracked hydraulic excavator: raise and lower the boom, extend the arm and curl the bucket to scoop loose earth from the pit. Every full bucket dumped into the truck scores points, and each truck you fill adds time to the clock.
It is deliberately small and readable — a good starting point if you want to learn how excavator physics, bucket collision and dirt-particle handling can be modelled in a browser game.
