Week 6

Week 6 (3/14 - 3/20)

Reflections:

• Looking through all the phaser elements and the example games made through phaser, it makes me think of the games from back in the day on site like Coolmath Games

• They share a similar game feel, with very simplistic controls and mechanics, clearly succeeding at being suitable for the young audiences they target. I could easily see any kid understanding and enjoying any of these phaser made game

• I've never used many of the tools I've been presented for the project. Of all the languages I've used throughout my classes, javascript wasn't one of them, and typescript and phaser are also entirely new to me.

• There is a lot to figure out with these resources, in particular I need to mess around with user interface elements as well as how to work with audio, the latter especially being something I've never used with any of my prior languages.

HW11:

• Setting up the server, to put it lightly, was rough. Despite following the instructions to the t on canvas, the server plain and simply refused to work. Or perhaps the server functions, but the localhost website needed is the part that is malfunctioning

• Wampserver was the one I decided to use since it was presented as the one more suitable for windows
