Bristol Meetups

HTML5 game development in Phaser.js

Are you interested in making games with javascript? Come learn with Jeff Schomay how to go from blank page to a fully playable game in 2 hours.

• Learn basic game engine mechanics through a live coding demonstration 

• Learn about Phaser.js

• Follow along while building a tutorial game in Phaser from start to finish

This presentation is aimed at developers who understand javascript, but may not have made games before.  The goal of this presentation is to give a chance to watch the process unfold of going from empty canvas to polished game, one step at a time.

Bring your laptop, as you will be able to follow along with the code and play/tweak the game on your own machine at each step of the presentation.
