What track is the closest to learn how to create a video game in JavaScript?

So you like doing things the hard way?

JavaScript is certainly not a typical language choice for developing a video game, and you won't find it in a track here, though some individual courses may have bits here and there that might apply. CSS Transitions and Transforms comes to mind, as does Animating SVG with CSS. But nothing comes to mind offhand for JavaScript except perhaps the canvas drawing functions covered at the end of jQuery Basics.

However, if you're serious about video game development, there's and entire track for Game Development with Unity. The language used is C#, but the track does not require you to have any prior experience with it.

Hi David,

There isn't any track that I know of that will cover this. The game development track only covers unity as Steven has already mentioned. If you goal is to create browser based games in html5/css/js then it's not going to help you.

There's a few older workshops that can probably help you get started. I'm not sure how old these are so the code might not be up to modern standards but the concepts should still be applicable.

There's a 2 part object-oriented javascript workshop series that covers a robot/maze type game:

"Coding Your First HTML5 Game" https://teamtreehouse.com/library/coding-your-first-html5-game

And if you're interested in 3d graphics: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/3d-in-the-browser

You'll probably want to learn about what javascript game frameworks are out there and use those to help you build the games. You can do it from scratch too if you want the learning experience but it will be harder that way.

If you're completely new to javascript then I would recommend taking some of the basic javascript courses before tackling those workshops.

Thank you very much! And sorry for the late answer. Everything is very helpful. Now I know where to start. Seriously Thank you!
