Hello everyone,

I wanted to know if you could get the starters files for a new simulation in .js extension instead of .ts. I know Phet is swithching to typescript but if anyone could help me it would be great.

The PhET simulation template "Simula Rasa" is now developed in TypeScript. I see it has around 10 type annotations and 7 type declarations. If you wish, you could remove those and change the file extensions back to *.js. However, even if doing that--the dependencies in scenery, axon, kite, dot, etc are developed in TypeScript so you will still need to run the TypeScript tooling for the simulation to work.

Best Regards,

Sam

I saw that "Example Sim" is nearly 100% JavaScript at the moment, if you want to use it as a starting point. https://github.com/phetsims/example-sim
