The HTML5 Game Development Mini-Degree is the world’s most comprehensive on-demand curriculum. Learn to code and create impressive games with Phaser 3, the JavaScript library that took the developer community by storm, through a series of comprehensive, step-by-step video tutorials.

With this online program, we want to show you how fun creating games can be, and how seeing other people play and enjoy your creations can be an incredibly fulfilling experience.

No prior programming experience is necessary to enroll – we are including a JavaScript 101 module to get anyone who hasn’t coded before up to speed with the fundamental skills required for game development.

More advanced topics such as using ES6 and advanced JavaScript patterns are covered as well in the program. In fact, the last game is developed using ES6 and modern frontend tools such as Webpack and npm.

You will learn how to:

Create cross-platform games with Phaser 3

Craft worlds with physics, sprites, and tilemaps

Use animations and impactful camera effects

Work with other frameworks such as Kontra

The games you create in Phaser are completely cross-platform, and can run both on desktop computers and mobile phones from day one.
