Building JavaScript Games teaches game programming through a series
of engaging, arcade-style games that quickly expand your JavaScript
and HTML5 skills. JavaScript is in the top ten most-used
programming languages world wide, and is the basis for applications
that can run in any modern browser, on any device from smart phone
to tablet to PC. Especial emphasis is given to touch-based
interface, but all games also run using a regular mouse and
keyboard setup. The four games you'll develop from reading this
book are: Painter Jewel Jam Penguin Pairs Tick Tick These four
games are casual, arcade-style games representing the
aim-and-shoot, puzzle, maze, and platform styles of game play. The
approach in Building JavaScript Games follows the basic structure
of a game rather than the syntax of a language. From almost the
very first chapter you are building games to run on your phone or
other device and show to your friends. Successive projects teach
about handling player input, manipulating game objects, designing
game worlds, managing levels, and realism through physics. All
told, you'll develop four well-designed games, making Building
JavaScript Games one of the most enjoyable ways there is to learn
about programming browser-based games. The final chapters in the
book contain a very nice bonus of sorts. In them you will find
excerpts from interviews with two prominent people from the game
industry: Mark Overmars, who is CTO of Tingly Games and creator of
GameMaker, and Peter Vesterbacka, the CMO of Rovio Entertainment -
the creators of the Angry Birds franchise. Their insight and
perspective round off what is already a fun and valuable book.
