Course Overview
Take your JavaScript learning experience to the next level and start building interactive games.
Take a step-by-step approach to learning how to build a complete JavaScript game. In this course we will cover the basic set up of the HTML and CSS pages and then we will dive right into coding our game! Starting from creating basic shapes on our canvas element to animating a ball, and then finally keeping track of the player's lives and score. We will cover many interesting topics, including:
- HTML canvas element
- for loops
- arrays
- objects
- creating custom functions
- mouse controls
And much more!
There are only two things that you need to take this course: an internet connection and a computer. There is no need to download any paid software or set up complex development environments.
The course is 1.5 hours long and is structured in a step-by-step manner, from simple to more difficult concepts. We build the JavaScript game from the ground up and cover each game component one at a time - so you will never feel overwhelmed with the content.
With the knowledge gained in this course you can move forward and build more complex JavaScript games, and use the game you created at the end of this course to add to your portfolio or just impress your friends.

Great course. I loved how when creating your variables, you didn't just add all the ones you would need at once. Instead you created the variable and the function which helped understand how they work together, and for any changes along the way. The where and how. Which helped understand how each part of code worked together.

Although I don't understand some of it (maths has never been my strong point, the lecturer took great pains to explain everything. Thanks! That was fun.

This course is okay for those who are looking to do something in JavaScript. By no means is this a learn JS course, so look elsewhere if you where thinking that. Otherwise, I did enjoy the course, to me it was just something to do because I am new to JS and wanted to do something visual with the language. The instructor is kind of hard to understand, but nothing too troubling. I like that it's short and to the point.

Hi my name is Erik Petersson and I'm a .net developer aiming to create a solid foundation for my company Shackle. I'm very interrested in game development but I'm still very novice. This course has helped me understand JavaScript game development further. In my opinion the instructor manages to supply a course with approx 2,5h of video material that is outstanding when comparing what you can learn from the 2,5h of videos. This course was extremly fun to go through, but of course after all that knowledge gained per video I had to take a few breaks. I made an honest review about this specific course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN6xtzSekbA // Erik Petersson, Shackle
