Tldraw RTS

A real-time strategy game hiding inside a collaborative drawing canvas.

Project brief2026 / 01

A canvas tick became a game loop.

While building a canvas tool with the Tldraw SDK, I noticed its tick function and used it to prototype a real-time strategy game.

The experiment grew into animations and an AI-driven RTS system. Tldraw responded and reposted the prototype.

Observation

General-purpose tools often hide surprisingly specific games.

Finding

“A useful primitive can become an entire genre.”
