HTML5 game programming

Post by REDDemon »

Hi guys! I need your help, I need some advices on where I should start to learn HTML5 game programing

Premise:
  • I know already HTML5 (CSS,HTML,JS,PHP) for web development ( AKA websites)
  • I know already how to program/ program games/math and like standard stuff.(OpenGL, Math, C#, Java, C++ and whatever
I need some guide that do not lose time in useless details like: what is main loop, how to compute firing angles, how to handle collisions.

So a quick JS API reference to get me started quickly wihtout losing time in much fuss. I wanti to try HTML5 game programming at least once.

Well that is not as easy as you might think. Maybe you want to try a framework for your first project.

Examples:
- http://phaser.io/
- https://github.com/pixijs/pixi.js
- http://threejs.org/
- http://createjs.com/

Have fun!

I took a look over phaser, but Quintus and Crafty are looking very nice and with better architecture thanks I already did 3 simple games :).

EDIT:

I Finally found a GLES/C# to WebGL/Javascript compiler. Yay! I can make games right away using my current skills :)
