HTML5 Game Development : Beginner to Pro (Udemy.com)

I am currently taking a gaming class in college and this course so far has been able to help me understand what the professor was doing as they expected you to know just a proper setup which I didn't, and this course brought me up to speed very quickly by just doing the initial setup.

Nicks great, I wish there were more highly expert and niche instructors out there, I own like 2-3 of his other courses too. I appreciate his communication style, not overloading you or taking tangents, just effective and clear communication, and points you in the right direction if you want to know more. I just hope he releases another HTML specific game course with just more "traditional games education in the lense of HTML" stuff, Id' buy it instantly.

This course is not for beginners. I was expecting a beginner to pro tutorial. Instructor is not explaining the basic concept of a game loop. Without that understanding, it is very difficult to follow the code. Here the instructor is explaining his code. But as a web developer I am not able to understand the core concepts of a game engine. So the instructor has to add extra videos in the first chapter itself about a game loop. And what are the functions needed to run and maintain the game loop.

This course explains many game development topics in a good to follow but very compact way. Its like zip compressed knowledge that will for beginners expand the understanding of game development of 30 hours in just 6 hours. It is a good overview of how many game types (cards, jump 'n' run, board, frogger style, etc.) work and can be created and extended. Very good tutor and content. It is a very good starting point to begin your personal game experiments journey.

I'm C# .net developer for over 20 years, my son wants to learn game programming, so naturally I started looking at C/C++ but after a google came across this which looks pretty straight forwards. I'm from Yorkshire, so although the lecturer is a Lancastrian I can forgive him for that (just!) I live in NZ and it's nice to hear a familiar accent, plus so far he's very thorough.

Another good one by Nik, this time canvas. The course is right to the words of the author, as in the description. The course properly targets developers with intermediate level of JS ES6 (OO) with no knowledge of animation. It is taught with follow-my-code videos, which should be right for intermediate level. It is important to mention the use of sprites instead of creating shapes, so the course is not for advanced animation in pure canvas. There are a lot of similar courses in the market and a lot of what is taught here can be done with dedicated packages (eg. tween.js), so it is more about learning the basics. However you will get very good, hard-to-find tips that could be applicable to more complex situations (eg. code structure, tricks explained, scene setup, others). FIRST TIMERS and PRO'S TIPS.

"Awful, not what I expected at all" If you want to teach people to go from a novice to a pro you need to go step by step and explain the concepts in detail at every step, not I wrote some code and be like "bla bla and ... bla bla... and now it works". Not worth the money... seriously.

I wanted to like this course, the problem is all the code was already written. He just walked you through what he wrote, this is more for very experienced coders who just to know better ways to develop applications.

Great Course!!! I am learning so much. Nicholas is very good at presenting a concept explaining it and then implementing it into code all the while, allowing me the student to code along addressing any nuances that may be there. He is also very responsive to any questions. I know that enrolling into this course was a great decision and I already have the confidence to begin planning and developing my first game

It is the best course of gaming devolpment. It gave us straight forward direction towards gaming devolpmnt Carrier. I love this course soo much.
