Learn to build web and mobile games with HTML5. Even if you have no experience in programming or web development, you can create your own games.
This course begins with a quick overview of web development in HTML5 and shows you the basic web framework used in all modern pages. It then teaches essential programming concepts using the JavaScript language embedded in all modern browsers.
The course centers around a game engine designed especially to be easy to understand. The game engine and all the other tools needed for the course are completely free. You won't need to purchase anything to build great games.
By the end of the course, you'll be able to build 2D games on the web as well as on mobile devices like the iPad and mobile phones.
