BUILDING JAVASCRIPT GAMES - ARJAN EGGES KARTONI...

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.
