Description
Learn to build web and mobile games with HTML5. Even if you have no experience in programming or web development, you can create your own games.
This course begins with a quick overview of web development in HTML5 and shows you the basic web framework used in all modern pages. It then teaches essential programming concepts using the JavaScript language embedded in all modern browsers.
It introduces the simpleGame.js engine, showing you how the engine works and introducing a free online game development tool. For more information on game programming, please see my other course.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone interested in game development.
- Suitable for middle school, high school, or adult learners. Motivated younger students will also enjoy the course, but they may need help from an adult. Perfect course for kids and parents to take together!
- No prior experience in web development or programming is necessary, although it can be useful.
- Programming is NOT a spectator sport! You’ll only learn if you’re willing to do some exercises on your own.
