How To Download Files?

It's a lot more helpful in my opinion to be able to download the files and work in my own editor. Any reason that one cannot download the actual files?

You can download the files for this course, by clicking the "Downloads" tab at the bottom of any of the video pages, then click the "Project Files" link to download the files.

There's an extra step you'll need to perform to be able to preview the game in your browser using these downloaded files. You can get that error if you downloaded the files to your computer, and tried to open the index.html file in a browser. Many browsers limit how JavaScript interacts with your local file system, and loading files the way Phaser.js, will trigger an error, unless you view the web page from a web server. If you use workspaces to edit and view the files you won't get that error.

Another option is to load a simple web server on your computer and view the game page that way. A really simple way, if you use the Chrome browser, is to use the Web Server for Chrome extension. Just follow the instructions on the page -- https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-server-for-chrome/ofhbbkphhbklhfoeikjpcbhemlocgigb?hl=en -- and you'll be able to view the game just fine.

You should be able to download the project file directly from the workspaces window. Go to "File", then choose "Download Workspace". From there you can unzip the project file and import into your chosen text editor.
