You know what's even better than playing games? Programming your own!
Make your own online games, even if you're an absolute beginner. Let
your imagination come to 3D life as you learn real-world programming
skills with the JavaScript programming language - the language used
everywhere on the web. This new edition is completely revised, and takes
advantage of new programming features to make game programming even
easier to learn. Plus, new effects make your games even cooler. When
you're done, you're going to be amazed at what you can create.
Jump right in! Start programming cool stuff on page 1. Keep building new
and different things until the very last page. This book wants you to
play. Not just play games, but play with code. Play with programming.
Because the best way to learn something is to have fun with it!
This second edition is updated from start to finish to make it even
easier to get started programming in JavaScript. Every example has been
updated to make it easier, with new example games to explore and new 3D
effects that make your games even more fun! Want a red donut? You can
make hundreds of them, spinning around like mad. Want to create a star
field? Make a hundred or a thousand stars. Make them red, green, or
blue. Explosions? Fireworks? Planets? It's up to you. And, using a code
editor created especially for this book, you'll program right in your
web browser. You'll see the results of your work and imagination right
away - right next to the code that you just typed! Along the way, you'll
pick up a ton of programming knowledge, and dive in even deeper with
some more advanced chapters.
Whatever you want to do, this book has your back. Best of all, you get
to create awesome games and say, "I made this!"
