Creating Games with HTML5 and JavaScript
HTML5 introduced many new elements to structuring web pages. But, one was critical for developing graphic games. That is the canvas element. It allows you to…
- draw shapes and lines,
- apply fill colors, stroke outlines & gradients.
- and insert text and images
into your web page. And more!
But why is it often called HTML5 Games? You need to use CSS3 and JavaScript too. In fact, you’ll use JavaScript the most.
This course will cover:
- a refresher of basic HTML page structure
- A review of the few CSS declarations that are useful including color and the Box model
- A look at the fundamentals of JavaScript programming
- How to create the Breakout game with step by step guidance
- A final project of creating the Snake game
Don’t expect the next Halo or Fortnite yet. You’ll learn by creating basic 2 dimensional games but it will teach you the basics which you can continue to build on.
