Learn Easy HTML5 Game Development in Construct 2

In this quick tutorial, we'll create the game project file, save it, and also configure some basic settings such as layout dimensions and game window size, so we're ready to start bringing in our game assets and creating some game logic!

In this lesson we'll learn how to add background graphics to your game, and how to place them on separate layers to facilitate parallax scrolling effects.

In this lesson, we'll use a special technique to create infinitely scalable and reusable terrain (ground) for our game from just 3 sprite tiled background objects. It's easy to do, and by the end of this tutorial you'll  have mastered the process.

In this lesson, we add our Player Character to the game as an animated sprite object, in preparation for programming it's behavior in the event sheet in future lessons.

In this lesson, we'll learn a great technique for adding collision boxes to our game. These are useful for creating impassable regions in a level over, for instance, sprites or tiled backgrounds which do not have their own collision shapes.

In this lesson, we'll learn how to move the player character around our layout using the keyboard object to accept and react to keyboard input.

In this video, we'll learn how to make the camera follow the player horizontally, as he moves across the screen, using the event sheet. We'll also see a method for creating a simple expression which will offset the position of the camera horizontally, on the X axis.

In this lesson, we'll learn how to work with multiple, frame based animations, including some really handy tricks for creating multiple, separate animations from just one original sprite sheet.

In this lesson, we'll learn how to use events in the event sheet to switch between the different animations we set up in the previous video, based on the current state (moving right, moving left, jumping or standing still).

In this lesson, we will using the Pin behavior to make the Gun sprite re-position itself relative to the movement of the Player Character. The next lesson will handle the rotation of the Gun sprite.

In this lesson, we'll use the Mouse Object and an event to control the rotation of the gun sprite, and make it point towards the position of the mouse on screen.

In this lesson, we'll use an event related to the mouse object to trigger an action by which we will spawn a projectile sprite on the screen at a special position relative to the current rotation of the gun sprite, referenced by an Image Point which we create.

In this lesson, we'll use the bullet behavior to make the projectile sprite move, like a bullet, when it is spawned into the level.

In this lesson, we'll import some sprites which we will use as platforms, and then we'll assign collision polygons to them, so that the Player Character we be able to walk on them without falling through.

All games require some form of conflict, an element of challenge, to be enjoyable and engaging for the players. In this tutorial, we'll add some falling boulders as obstacles which must be avoided by the player.

In this lesson, we'll implement a simple game rule: If the player character is struck by a falling object, he dies, and the player must restart the level to try again.

In this lesson, we'll ad our first NPC (Non-PLayer Character) to the game. In the next lesson, we'll create some logic to control his behavior towards the Player Character.

In this lesson, we will create an event with a special condition to measure distance, which will control when the enemy NPC fires projectiles toward the Player Character.

In this lesson, we'll introduce 'homing missile' functionality by making the enemy's projectile rotate and move towards the player like a heat seeking missile.

In this lesson, we'll implement logic to handle collisions between the projectiles the Player Character is shooting, and the Rockets which are being shot by the Enemy NPCs.

The design is an iterative process, and it is common in the life-cycle of a project that you may decide to change the look of a game object. In this lesson, you'll learn how to update the animations for a sprite in your game.

In this lesson, we'll implement two of the most important rules in the game -- the Player Character dies when shot by the enemy, and the enemy dies when shot by the Player Character.

In this lesson, I'll show you how to import basic sound effects and trigger then with events and actions.

In this lesson, you will learn how to use looping sound effects.

In this lesson, we'll finish off our work on sound effects for the game.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to import and play music in your games.

In this lesson, I'll be showing you how to create a particle effect, make it follow the player character to visually represent the thrust from the jetpack as it moves, and how to effectively switch it on and off using events and actions.

In this lesson, we'll create and configure a new layout which will function as the Start Menu for our game.

In this lesson, I'll teach you how to create clickable buttons in Construct 2, and how to transition from one layout to another.

In this lesson, we'll import an animated crosshair, and make it follow the position of the mouse on the game screen.

In our final lesson, we'll learn how to hide the default mouse cursor's sprite using events and actions.
