Create Browser Games With Phaser.Js: A Beginner'S Guide

Master the Art of Game Development with Phaser.js and JavaScript

What you'll learn

Build interactive browser-based games using Phaser JS by applying core game development concepts like scenes, sprites, and input handling.

Implement game mechanics and physics such as collisions, movement, and animations to create dynamic and engaging gameplay.

Design and optimize game levels using tilemaps, sound effects, and HUD elements for an immersive user experience.

Deploy and publish your game online, with knowledge of how to export, host, and potentially monetize your creations.

Requirements

No Prior Game Development Experience Needed: This course is designed for beginners, so you don’t need any prior experience with game development or Phaser JS.

Basic JavaScript Knowledge: Familiarity with JavaScript fundamentals (variables, functions, loops, and conditionals) is essential for understanding the course content.

Basic HTML and CSS Understanding: A basic understanding of HTML and CSS will help with setting up and structuring your game environment.

Tools Required: Code editor (e.g., Visual Studio Code), web browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Firefox), internet access, local server (optional, we'll guide you on setup).
