In this course, students will learn how to create a platform based game using the Phaser 3 framework. Phaser is a powerful framework that's an industry standard for creating games for Facebook Instant marketplace, Android Play Store, Apple Store, websites, and more. Students will be coding the game using JavaScript which is a very popular coding language that is also easier to understand for beginners. In each class I will show and explain how to code sections of the game, then I will ask students to try it out themselves. I will also give out a challenge after every class so students can experiment and grow their knowledge. By the end of the course students will have the knowledge of how to create a basic game using javascript and Phaser. 

Class One and Two:
I will show and guide students to install phaser and everything else we will need to code our game. Then they will learn how to load assets like sprites into the game and display them. Students will learn how to create the world and setup the environment.

Class Three and Four: We will create the player and his different animations using sprite sheets. We will also explore how to add the built in physics functionality that phaser has, to our game and how to control the player using the keyboard. We will create the stars and place them on the map for the player to interact with and also learn how to keep track of the score. Student will also learn how to code the bombs in our game that the player will have to avoid.
