Hi!
It would be great to continue this topic(Build Your First Javascript Game) with a full explanation of how classes work, in that particular case, to organize a game project properly. It's always good practice to cement a knowledge with a clear and simple example.
Good job!

This gives me the first inkling of how my CC course in basic javascript might be applied, so it's helpful in that way. Right now, I'm really getting lost in the abstract without enough to tie me to the practical use. So I'd appreciate seeing more applied content interspersed with the essential/theory related stuff.

Really helpful, thanks a bunch.

Nothing was done concerning the score so I will consider that an assignment. Thanks again

Well done good video, you explain things quite well
But it would be better if you could go from the start of a js game to finish, explaining all the methods and classes and what's doing what you know.

Food for thought bro 👍🏻

Hi, has anyone been able to add a scoring system to this game? I tried and it worked to an extent but the game started to lag. Anyone able to share some code for a simple scoring system that works with this game?

i would like to hear the reply to Daniela Rodrigues's question in the live chat. What about the arrow keys? I know that back in the day, yes we use to play game on pc using wasd keys but there was an alternative which was we could also use the arrow keys, but i have actually tried to reference the arrow keys in my code which i was creating something else and chrome dev tools doesn't pick the arrow keys up .. it only picks up the reference to letter keys. Can anybody shed any more light on this please?
