Description

In this course, you will learn how to build the classic Dots & Boxes game from scratch using ReactJS, powered by the Rune multiplayer platform. This is a step-by-step, beginner-friendly guide that takes you from an empty project to a fully functional, real-time multiplayer game that works on both iOS and Android through Rune.

We will start with the basics, setting up the project and understanding the game logic. You will learn how to create components for the game grid, draw lines, keep track of turns, and calculate scores. Step by step, we will add the game’s main features, including detecting completed boxes, handling the game state, and implementing the turn logic for players.

Once the game works locally, we will integrate it with the Rune platform so players can enjoy a real-time multiplayer experience. You will also learn how to add sound effects, improve the user interface, and deploy your game so others can play it.

By the end of this course, you will have a complete multiplayer game, a better understanding of React components, state management, and how to use Rune to create engaging online games. No previous game development experience is required, just basic JavaScript knowledge and curiosity to learn!

Who this course is for:

  • JavaScript developers looking to expand into game development.
  • ReactJS learners seeking a hands-on, fun coding experience.
  • Hobbyists interested in creating multiplayer browser games.
