Game won't display if I use my own text editor but will display in workspaces. Why does this happen?

Hello all! When on the video 'Introduction to JavaScript' I have run into the very problem that the title details. When downloading the course files and loading them up in my own text editor I get nada. But when I use the workspace it works just fine. Why is this?

Hey Christopher,

I'd suggest reading the documentation for Phaser. Due to security restrictions in the browser, you'll need a local web server. If you need a recommendation for one, I am a fan of MAMP.

Thank you for you fast response and recommendation! And I will most certainly check out MAMP.

Thank you so much! I want to be able to use my own editor, and this fixed my issues, thanks a lot!
