Requirements
- Having at lest a basic concept of HTML and JavaScript will be very helpful in this course.
- You'll need a text editor and a place for sharing your game. But, we'll go over both these things in the course and talk about different options so you can pick the best one for you.
Description
This course will teach you to use the Phaser Framework to program a 2D game that can be played on both mobile and desktop devices. In the end you will have a fully functioning game, that works on all major platforms, as well as direction on where to go from here.
The course will take about 3 hours and will go over the basic concepts such as touch screen input, collision detection with Game Physics, sound, and animation.This course provides videos that will guide you from the beginning to the end on writing the game code. The needed Images, Sprites, Sounds, Music, and Framework Library will also be provided. At the end of the course you will be able to download the entire source code for the game you created, as well as bonus code, images, and sounds that will help guide you in advancing your game with new features.
Although some experience with JavaScript is recommended, it's not required. Creating a game using the Phaser Framework is a great option if you want to create a game that is easy to distribute and want to ensure it's compatibility with as many devices as possiable.
Who this course is for:
- We will be typing a lot of code. If you are looking for a way to create a game without having to write code yourself, this is not the course for you.
Instructor
I've been teaching software programming for over 6 years. I mainly focus on Free and Open Source tools and code. My lessons range from basic shell scripts to both 2D and 3D Game Design. My lessons are step by step instructions to software creation.I've also done a lot of work with Multimedia software for Video and Music Creation. Working with animations, in both 2D and 3D, I have a strong understanding of design for both video media and software interfaces.
