PWA and Offline Games

This is a submission for the Web Game Challenge: One Byte Explainer

Explainer

A game should work offline, even if it's a web game. Distribute your game as a Progressive Web App and let the players enjoy it offline, even in the face of a Zombie Apocalypse.

Additional Context

Nowadays we rely too much on the availability of the Internet. I have a dozen games on my mobile phone, but every time I go to a toilet in the basement of a restaurant, I can't play any of them, because all need Internet connection.

The other issue is that the games relying on the Internet age poorly. I really love playing games from 20 years ago, and very often they rely on availability of discontinued services like "Microsoft Games for Windows Live".

Don't do that. Make games like it's 2000s.
