It’s easy to get lost in the flow of a good game. But behind every power-up and boss battle is a simple code that brings the game to life.
In this course, you’ll learn how to turn abstract game mechanics into code and play your creation, create interactive elements using the main language of the Internet, and implement one of the most popular game frameworks, HTML5.
