It contains detailed examples, and focuses on getting you to learn by applying your knowledge to build several fun HTML5 games, including a platformer, a shoot ‘em up, a dungeon crawler, and a physics-based game. Along the way you’ll develop your own flexible game library that can be reused in your future projects, and learn how to create graphics and sound from scratch.
