Widget Watts — The Internet’s 1st Kinetic Energy Storage System
Widget Watts is a dynamic browser-based kinetic energy game. Click or touch inside the widget and move around to build charge. When the motion meter is full, the system lights up and batteries begin charging. For every 3 seconds the meter stays full and batteries are charged, 1 Widget Watt is added. Your session total is shown at the top, while a live global counter displays the total Widget Watts stored by all users, in real time.
The engine is powered by pure JavaScript with zero frameworks. Mouse and touch input drive motion-based calculations, feeding custom DOM logic that triggers visual states and charge effects.
Firebase handles global data sync, keeping the total watt count live and universal. It’s a raw-coded system built for speed, clarity, and instant feedback — no external engines, just kinetic HTML magic.
Building it was a crash course in real-time motion tracking, visual synchronization, and multiplayer logic without relying on pre-built engines. Every animation, spark, and watt generated was handcrafted through trial and iteration — blending physics-inspired gameplay with front-end code to create something original, fast, and alive on the web.
