### AI overview

The article describes creating the art and game assets for Gopher Kart, a browser-based coin-collection game developed for the Gopher community. It discusses the shift from vector illustrations to pixel art, the use of Pyxel Edit, Phaser, and canvas, and the creation and animation of Gopher sprites and obstacles.

### Source excerpt

In the months leading up to GopherCon, my wife Jamilet and I had come up with the idea of creating a "small" browser-based game for the convention using the racing theme. Neither of us had ever worked on a game before and we had no idea what was involved. However, we knew we wanted to design and build something special for the awesome Gopher community. The original idea was to create a game where Gophers raced each other around a track. We looked into how much time that would take and realized working part time meant we wouldn't finish the game in time. So we decided to build a game that was simpler and settled on a coin collection game.
