Description
Just a few years ago nearly all browser based games used
Adobe Flash
. This all changed when
Steve Jobs
refused to allow the Flash player in the iOS Safari browser and at the same time
HTML5
introduced the
Canvas
with an api to allow
fast sprite animations
. Most developers have moved away from Adobe Flash, but Adobe Flash in its latest incarnation
Adobe Animate
can output content that is
completely HTML5 compliant
. What is more it is
resolution independent
, so when the output is resized it still looks great.
Adobe Animate
is targeted mainly at non interactive content. But there is nothing to stop the developer from using the output and some javascript to create
great looking HTML5 games
.
The author has created Flash games for clients including the Mars Corporation, BBC, Johnson & Johnson and Deloittes. He is also the
author
of
two books
about using
Flash for game development
. In this course he shows how users familiar with Flash can use their existing skills to create great HTML5 games and takes developers unfamiliar with Adobe Animate through the details of using the drawing tools and animation tools to create the assets that will be used in a game. We also look at how it is possible to get
free vector based graphics
that can then be
animated
and
used in a game
.
Then the course takes the student through all the steps to
create a simple game
before moving onto a more complex example with a
user interface
and
sound effects
.
Having completed the course you will be able to
control animations
created in Adobe Animate
using javascript
. Allowing you to
create just about any game
and you will even be shown how to
add a physics engine
to create games that use complex physics calculations
to control the movement
