Let's make a game in the browser!

Ever wanted to know how to make a game? We will build a side-scrolling shooter or a space invaders clone, in JavaScript using the html5 canvas element. You will learn how to manipulate pixels, vectors, and build game logic in a self-contained website that can be viewed by anyone!

We do a live coding session and build a game from start to finish using nothing but JavaScript and the HTML5 Canvas. We will be utilizing a small utility library I have written to makes things a bit easier and speed up the process, but everything, including that library, is completely vanilla JavaScript.
