In this course, students will learn how to create the flappy bird game using the Phaser 3 and Repl. 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. We 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, I will ask students for their input and suggest and encourage them to try coding parts of the game themselves. I will also give out a challenge after classes 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. 

Classes One and Two:
I will show students how to navigate in the repl website that we will be using to create our game. Next we will look at how a website is created and communicates with Javascript and Phaser. Then they will learn how to load assets like sprites into the game and display them. Students will start to learn about variables, game loop, and functions. We will also add the infinity scrollable background functionality used in common side scroller games.

Classes Three and Four: We will work on adding the bird to our game and add physics to it as well as the ability to move it around when pressing the space bar. Then we will start adding the obstacles and collision detection to detect when we hit an obstacle. In the final class we will experiment with platform placements, tracking score, and other ideas students might want to add to the game.

Topics the course covers:
        Basic game design
        Creating a webpage 
        Connecting a website to use Phaser 3
        How to load and display images and animations
        How to work with variables, functions, game loops coding concepts
