In the process, you’ll learn how to do the following:
Create realistic physics in your game by incorporating the Box2d physics engine
Design large worlds with lots of characters and let users interact with them
Use sprite sheets, panning, parallax scrolling, and sound effects to build a more polished game
Incorporate pathfinding and steering to help characters navigate through your world
Create challenging levels with intelligent enemies by using decision trees, state machines, and scripted events
Add multiplayer in your games using Node.js and the WebSocket API
This book will help you take your HTML5/JavaScript programming experience to the next level. It gives you the knowledge and skills you need to develop more complex, bolder games and become an HTML5 games pro.
