Phaser Learning Content

|

Lots of new content is created with the web game engine Phaser each week. The News feed is full of tutorials, full fledge games and plugins.

There are two content creators that have produced some really amazing stuff for Phaser.

Emanuele Feronato

Emanuele is a prolific game programmer, designer and tutorial provider. Emanuele’s website contains an incredible number of posts on all kinds of PROgramming subjects: Game Design, Javascript, HTML5, Phaser and even Flash!

I really like its HTML5 content where a lot of different genres of games are explained, and have Phaser implementation showcased. The series on Sokoban and Bejeweled are well worth a look.

As a super fan of Roguelike games, I deeply appreciated the series of posts on how to calculate dynamic lighting in a tile-based game.

Emanuele is also a book author: From null to full HTML5 cross platform game. This book covers how to create games using Phaser.

Phaser Quest

Recently I discovered Phaser Quest, a recreation of the game Browser Quest but using Phaser as the game engine.

Phaser Quest is totally open source and is quite the complete recreation with assets and levels and multiplayer gameplay.

The author of Phaser Quest is Jerome Deveaux and his website contains some great posts on how Phaser Quest was developed. I especially liked the recent article on interest management for multiplayer games. I wasn’t familiar with the topic and the article was great in showing how interest management is applied directly to Phaser quest. I like how all the concepts are even tied to concrete code examples.
