No, it took me about a week of 30 to 45 minute sessions off and on. I will admit that I didn’t just sit down and watch all 4 hours of Chris’ game creation video in one sitting. In fact, Chris’ way of teaching is not just informative, but entertaining, no-nonsense, and quite frankly, it’s addicting to watch-at least for people like me with my particular level of geek personality disorder. I contacted Chris to discuss some of what he does because I think his approach to learning a language like JavaScript is pure genius. Chris runs an education and learning site called Chris Courses.Ĭhris Lis of Chris Courses. I did some digging and found out that his name is Christopher Lis and he lives rather close to me in the great State of Florida.
Introducing Chris Lis of Chris CoursesĪfter investing 4 hours of my time watching “this guy” totally create a game out of thin air, I had to know more. If you know next to nothing about JavaScript and you want to start out your coding career writing games, or just writing business apps as I do, then fear not! You will not be left in the dark watching this video and others like it. What caught my attention about what this guy was doing was that he left nothing out of what it takes to write a game from the ground up. I’ve been writing JS for over 20 years, but I’ve never really had the time to dive into something like games. Just out of curiosity, I started watching just because I was curious about how one would go about writing a canvas-based game. Several months ago I ran across a YouTube video with a creator who’d written a side-scrolling parallaxing fighting game in pure JavaScript.
