I have been a gamer ever since my childhood (like many millennials!). Gaming was one of the reasons that motivated me to do a computer science degree so that I could one day create some fun games with my own ideas and imagination. During the next 4 weeks I will be learning how to build an online game and publish it here in my blog. There are various free tools to help me build games, which can be played on online, offline, and on smart devices. I am more interested in online game, to ease sharing them. The goal is that the end game is visually appealing, fun for average person (a three year old should enjoy it), and has an exciting ending.
Summing up my goal:
- Use HTML5 code (no quick drag and drop tool!)
- Start with a dummy game for testing and upload online
- Design and develop the last version of my game
- The game is interactive, i.e. takes in user input
- My four year old nephew should enjoy it
To complete this, I am limited to use Youtube and online help forums, yet there is more than enough resources, such as Udacity channel videos. I also have an online page that is not yet public, so I will use it to host my game.
I am so excited!
