Your Development Journey

A clear path from zero to your first playable game

1

Learn the Fundamentals

Start with JavaScript basics and HTML5 Canvas. You don’t need to be an expert — just comfortable with variables, functions, and loops. Most developers pick this up in 2-3 weeks of consistent practice.

2

Build Your Game Loop

The game loop is the engine of every game — update, render, repeat. It’s simpler than you’d think. Once you understand this pattern, you’ll recognize it everywhere.

3

Add Input and Interaction

Keyboard and mouse events are your bridge to player control. Handle input, move your player, and feel the game come alive. This is where it gets fun.
