Huge focus on the computing power thing. PR3's placement of blocks through other blocks is not very efficient (largely a fault of translation between Lua and Actionscript), and even my Ryzen 7 2700X can't do much more than 200 blocks placed per frame. Sure, it seems like a lot, but it's not good for detailed display, and you have to work with the understanding that others will have a lot of trouble playing.
Nonetheless, more basic games have been made (like a basic Asteroids game and a difficult gravity game)
I'm prolly gonna make tetris using this technology (made by gasterskyRAW who I firmly believe is a lua genius) in the near future. Basic games really aren't that hard when the rendering is not a thing you have to deal with. I did make two libraries (including a text library and a shapes library) that can make rendering circles and text require one line instead of 90 because it defines a function to do that for you. It's pretty cool stuff.
