JSLegendDev, I am totally grateful for your classes, I even made the portfolio that was present at CodeCamp, however, I didn't understand much of the concepts of the library itself, I am Brazilian and here the game market, especially with javascript libraries, is not so heated, I am not a game developer but I have always been interested in developing some projects with gamification, you gave me a new freedom that I didn't have before with the lack of this knowledge, thank you very much for the classes, I will be waiting for more content, you are an inspiration for the gameDev community.

Kaplay is mainly one of the reason i love js so much

[pawekozowski]

holy shit, thats news, I started my js journey with kaboom, very excited

Another great video!!!
I am testing the knowledge I have acquired by watching your videos, and I managed to implement a melee attack system, very simple but apparently it worked.
Another implementation I made was when my character jumps on top of an opponent, just like Mario does, so at that moment I used unuse() to remove the body because my player was standing on the enemy. Do you think this is the best way?
The next step I would like to implement is parallax and wall sliding. In Kaplay, would you know the best path to take? I have already implemented it using JavaScript and CSS, but using Kaplay/Kaboom I am not getting a good result.
Excellent video, I have also read some of your articles, they have helped me a lot. With what I have learned, I can watch videos of some implementations made in Godot/Unity and transfer them to Kaplay, the only one giving me a headache for now is the parallax effect.

Best regards,

Somewhat confused at the start. Is it possible to do this on a regular VSCode setup rather than using the playground? I'm switching between this and the "Learn JavaScript to Make Games - JS Crash Course for Beginners" one

[Gamerayoub.]

how do you disable the help thing when pressing f1 please bru

[kaiserexodus]

But is there a market for game dev javascript html canvas which we can make money after learning these skills??

[Volt-Eye.]

Give a try to Excalibur JS !

Wait what is Kaplay.js ?

And what power it holds against other framework ?

Like can I do advanced things as Phaser, Construct etc ? Like shaders ?
