## Could our school run AI-Driven Game Development on Phaser?

We ran this 24-hour course in 2025 under IMDA's LEARN Roadmaps, delivered under our partner Zenitant Pte Ltd. with a curriculum we designed. Students with no programming experience learned HTML, JavaScript, and VS Code, then built 2D browser games with sprites, physics, scoring, and levels, using GitHub Copilot from the free GitHub Education pack. This page describes that run. If you'd like a similar course for your school, write in. For younger students, see Game Development in MakeCode Arcade and Minecraft.

## 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.

## Lesson Outcomes

-   Familiarize with HTML, JavaScript, VSCode
    
-   Design and build 2D games using Phaser.js
    
-   Implement game mechanics like character movement, scoring systems, and level transitions.
    
-   Work with assets (images, animations, sound) and optimize them for web-based games.
    
-   Debug and test games to ensure smooth gameplay and fix common issues.
