Course Overview
Students will learn game development using Phaser.js, a powerful HTML5 framework for creating interactive 2D games. Through hands-on projects, they will explore game design fundamentals, including sprite animation, physics, user input, and level creation. They will apply structured development workflows—planning, prototyping, and testing—to build engaging browser-based games from scratch.
This course is designed for beginners with no prior programming or game development experience but are eager to learn how to craft fun, playable games. By the end, students will have the skills to bring their game ideas to life and share them with others.
