Creating a browser game in 2018 should be easier than ever, in theory – there’s a literal plethora of engines, tools, and scripting languages available to create and deploy a browser game. However, that same freedom may also be a bit of a burden for newcomers – sort of like “information overload”, it can be difficult to sift through all the available methods of building browser games. Not to mention the hurdle of learning JavaScript itself, though there’s plenty of excellent JavaScript books out there worth reading. There are two main methods of building browser games in 2018, and they both revolve around using game engines. We’ll explain these a bit: JavaScript Frameworks An excellent and matured language for beginners and veterans alike, JavaScript (or JS in most circles) can be pretty powerful and has a ton of libraries to work with. You can also access the client’s GPU using WebGL these days, which means you can even add shaders using GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) to create really nice post-processing graphics effects. BioLab, a game demo created with Impact.js Java’s main drawback, especially for a beginner, is going to be resource and asset management – when you’re building on top of huge asset loads and garbage collection systems, and you start to fill up the asset memory, JS will start to show its cracks in the form of automatic garbage collection and asset compression – which means you’ll need to build a slow asset caching system, or your game performance is going to be quite terrible. However, for smaller 2D games, JavaScript frameworks can really be perfect – many popular browser games (CrazySteve.io is a nice example here) are being deployed entirely in a combination of JavaScript + HTML5, using JavaScript game frameworks like Phaser, Crafty, Pixi.JS, and others. Unity3D Engine The popular Unity3D engine supports creating pure browser games, if the project being built is targeted for the “WebGL” platform – the drawback here is that the user’s browser must support WebGL, but Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, and MS Edge all already have it, so it’s a very small audience of people that don’t already have WebGL support. Unity WebGL demo Angry Bots Of course, WebGL games built in Unity3D are going to be built in JavaScript, unless you write the game code in C# / UnityScript and then allow Unity3D to convert it using IL2CPP (Intermediate Language to C++) – but one of Unity3D’s main appeals is its humongous asset library, which means you can build games pretty much entirely from scratch without writing a single line of code using resources from the Unity store or community resources. Unity or JavaScript Framework, Which to Use? So now you might be wondering, if dedicated JavaScript game frameworks and Unity3D both require Java in the long run, what the advantages of one over the other? Well now that all boils down to how hands-on you want to get with the engine, and what type of games you want to create. C# language is incredibly powerful and one of the best programming languages for game development, which is why Unity3D is so popular – but JavaScript offers amazing cross-platform compatibility, and is also considered the official language for creating Android games. Unity3D was built mainly for creating native 3D games that are installed to the user’s computer or mobile device, whereas Phaser (and similar JavaScript frameworks) are, for the most part, geared specifically towards creating 2D browser games. So, think of it this way – if you want to build mainly 3D browser games and perhaps dabble in creating 2D games that are installed on the user’s device, go with Unity engine. If you want to focus exclusively on 2D browser games, something like the Phaser 3 framework would be much better for this purpose. All that you need is to decide about the details of your game. For example, take a look at these parking games - each one might use a different framework despite the fact that all of them look pretty similar.

Also, if you’re a complete beginner, you might want to learn on a JavaScript framework first – because that way your JavaScript skills can transition over into Unity, should you decide to give it a try. If you start out using Unity, you can’t take your C# / UnityScript skills into a JavaScript framework! One other thing to consider is if you want to target mobile users as well – Unity WebGL doesn’t exactly play nice with Android browsers, so much in fact that Google Chrome for Android has Unity WebGL disabled by default. It's much better to build a game as a separate Android build, but this isn’t too much of a concern, considering not too many people are playing browser games on their Android device – and some browser-based IO games, like Slither.IO, do in fact have highly successful mobile ports. Final Thoughts – Choosing the Right Path for You We’ve spent a lot of this article talking about the difference between JavaScript frameworks and the Unity engine, but that’s for a specific reason – as a browser-based game developer in 2018, you’re going to be using one of these methods, and it's important to understand the key differences between them. In a nutshell, you’ll need to decide if you want the ease-of-use that comes with Unity3D, and the ability to quickly throw together games with assets and resources from the Unity Store, but be limited to C# / UnityScript (if you don’t have any prior JavaScript knowledge). Or if you want to dive into JavaScript and spend a bit more time creating your games from scratch, but your JavaScript skills will generally transfer to any game engine that supports coding in JS in the future.

What Is JavaScript Used For?

Numerous customers contact us because they require JavaScript developers. Occasionally, we are asked to provide them with senior, experienced developers for only 6 to 12 months. Typically, however, we must first assess the project tasks and determine whether a frontend, backend or mobile developer is required.

In this brief article, we will explore the tasks that require JavaScript. Let’s start!

The most popular frontend programming language in the world is now JavaScript. Moreover, contrary to what the majority of non-IT professionals believe, JavaScipt is not only for the frontend.

1. Mobile App Development

React Native has become a popular language for mobile development, but you can also use Ionic, NativeScript, AngularJS, or JQuery Mobile.

2. Frontend Development

Frontend development is the typical form of usage of JavaScript. Today’s most popular programming languages are Angular, React, and Vue.JS, but jQuery and Ember.JS are likely to be encountered in legacy projects.

3. Backend Development

The most popular backend JS framework is Node.JS, which is not only a backend framework but is also utilized by the majority of software developers.

4. Game Development

You might encounter Pixi.JS or Phaser in this microcosm, but Babylon.JS, melon.JS, and Impact.JS are also popular.

How to mix vuex / vue with HTML5 games

Do you want a vue ui mixed with Babylon.js, Three.js, PIXI.js, canvas, Webgl, etc? Or maybe just to store some variables... or make reactive changes? Here's how it works in a few of my games... There are 3 main points of integration. These are mutating state in the store (writing to a variable in the store), reading state from the store (accessing the store variables from other places), and reacting to changes in state (triggering a function when a value in the store changes).

First, how do you expose the store? Well you can literally just export it and then import it. Or be lazy and stick it on window.store. You'll want to have a sensible order of initialization when your game starts up so that you don't try to access the store before it exists. But games already use loaders etc to load up their images and sounds, so there's a place for that. Load up the store first, probably.

For reading state from the store you can use a syntax like store.getters['setttings/graphicsMode']. It can be a little simpler than that, but this shows the synatx for a store nested within a store. In my game for example, I have a gameStore and a settingsStore just because I didn't feel like putting *all* of the properties into one giant vuex config. One can also access the state via store.state.settingsStore.someProperty but this is reading it directly instead of uses the getter. You probably want to use the getter, because then you can have a computed property, but either will work. For writing state to the store, the key is store.dispatch. Syntax is like store.dispatch('devStore/toggleDeveloperMenu', optionalPayload). This is invoking the *action* which means you need to create actions instead of just using a setter with this particular syntax.

So that's reading and writing! But what about reactivity? Well lets say your game logic dispatches some state which enters the store, you'll find that if that state is displayed in your vue ui it is already reactive and working. For example if you store.dispatch('game/updateHitpoints', { hp: 50 }) and there's already ui to draw the hitpoint bar on the hud that is going to change automagically. But what if you're pressing buttons in your vue-based settings menu or game ui? How does one get the game itself to react to that? Well there are two some what easy ways (among a million homegrown options). The first is to use the window to dispatch an event from the same action that you use to update the state, and be sure that you always use the action instead of directly accessing the setter. This will work fine, and I did it at first, but there is a more elegant and integrated way. That is to use store.watch.

The store.watch(selector, callback) will invoke your callback when the state defined by the selector you provide changes. For example this is how to setup your game to change the rendering settings in bablyon js (pseudocode) whenever someone changes the graphics level from low | medium | high | ultra. store.watch(state => state.settings.graphicsMode, () => changeGraphics(store.getters['settings/graphicsMode']));; The first arg is the selector function, which in this case specifies that we're watching graphicsMode for changes. The second function is what gets invoked when it does change. The actual body of my changeGraphics function is skipped b/c it doesn't really matter.. for me it might turn off shadows and downscale the resolution or something like that. Personally I create a function called bindToStore(stateSelector, callback) which sets up the watcher and invokes it once for good measure. This way when my game is starting it up, as all the watchers get setup listening for changes, that first first invocation also puts the ui into the correct state. So that's writing, reading, and reacting to state changes across the border between vuex/vue and any html5 app or game engine by integrating with getters, actions via dispatch, and watchers. Good luck and have fun!

Been slavin’ away at making something for the community. I just got done with one last bit of code that works dynamically alongside some graphics to perfectly trim an Exo’s marking tattoo to their unique face design...cause exos have to be the most difficult....

I digress. It’s not 100% yet, but close enough for people to play with.

**FREE ART FOR ALL COMING SOON

(I’ll be making an announcement across all social platforms. You can generally find me @pxlatedtraveler​ almost anywhere).**

it is really funny that of all limitations of rpg maker mv, it seems like the hardest to overcome ones are, of all things “It’s not very good at rendering pixel fonts without making them blurry” and  “It for some reason does not correctly reflect the kerning of fonts used in rendering text, and there’s no apparent way to change it”. And like the first one has had a lot of people put a lot of effort into finding weirdly overcomplicated ways to fix this problem  but the latter i think there’s literally nothing to do about it except for painstakingly modify the font files yourself and hope that whatever you’re doing to it will actually display in the engine and look how you wanted it to.  People have made it into a 3d engine with like lighting and everything but the font thing has been insurmountable since like 2014

CLASS TRIAL 1 - Progress Report #1

i'm still not real comfortable announcing an exact release date, but i'd like to have it done by the end of june at the latest! in the meantime, here's where things stand as of may 10:

WRITING: ~90% done

i have the whole thing pretty much written, i just need to finish copying it all into the site! it's not terribly different from how the old trial plays out, except for adding a few branches of dialogue and incorporating some minigames!

MINIGAMES: ~50% done

climactic deduction is interactive now!!

nonstop debates look cooler

theres a select someone scroller thing now and it's cute look

hangman's gambit 20XX (tentative name lol) is the most like an actual minigame, i have the visual components of it laid out and i'm working on the game logic now

considering one more minigame but it'll depend on how long everything else takes

ART: ~20% done

CGs (0/3)

sprites (2/15+)

banners (4/12)

climactic deduction comic (1/14 but they're not full-size comic pages don't worry akdsjd)

plus a few evidence icons and Other Things

MUSIC: ~25% done

this is gonna be the kicker lol. i don't have a lot of experience with music production, especially when it comes to estimating how long things will take-- but if i finish everything else and its the only thing keeping the trial from being posted, i can always add the music in later

WEBSITE: ~95% done

all that's left is cleaning up the menu but i'm still figuring out the best way to organize it haha

[saykrd]

So here I am struggling to get Spine working with PIXI.js -_-. I’m pretty sure the issue is that the export is out of date, and I don’t actually have the program so I’m busy using the ones provided in the trial version. The console logs are pretty much yelling at me that I have to re-export it, but guess what the trial version doesn’t let me do!

Hopefully it gets updated, starting development without actually being able to have my hands on the program is a bit frustrating but I can’t really do much since it’s quite pricey and I can’t really warrant sinking all that money into it without knowing if it works for me or not...
