phaser-project-template VS Phaser

I had a lot of fun putting this together and was able to do so quickly with the help of Yannick's boilerplate, Kenny's Assets, Phaser, Cypress and cypress-plugin-snapshots.

This game is going to use web technology so the Phaser framework is going to be used. It will also be piled with static assets so a Progressive Web App (PWA) is going to be created, not only to allow offline support but also greatly speed up reload times and provide installers for various mobile and desktop operating systems. To make this setup quick I'm going to utilise this amazing Phaser boilerplate by Yannick.

I was using this starter template: https://github.com/yandeu/phaser-project-template

Just use an actual game framework https://phaser.io/

Phaser (MIT/JS) https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser

I used the Phaser framework to build the game! I didn't pick it for any particular reason, I just saw that they were offering prizes at the end of the game jam so I thought it'd be a good choice. In hindsight, once again, I should have read the fine print and realized that Phaser is very large for this kind of game jam, but MOVING ON.

Phaser: I've actually used this engine before! It's pretty decent if you're just making small browser games and really easy to use. I taught a programming class to kids aged 10-15 and we used this for a couple of projects. They had no problem making some decent games with it. MIT Licensed and would definitely recommend giving it a go if you want to make something that has the same sort of style as older browser flash games we all used to play on Miniclip and other similar sites.

https://phaser.io/ is a great framework to get started with

I love playing video games, especially console and mobile games. I learned about Phaser (an open source framework for building games with JavaScript) last year and have wanted to try out game development using the skills I already have as a web developer.
