Want to Learn JavaScript Classes? Try the Amazing Word Game!

Learning how to program JavaScript classes should be fun… Not only are classes considered the modern way to do things… they’ve also been upgrade over the last few years… this is 2023, so don’t miss out!

This tutorial teaches you how to create your 1st simple class; we then add a constructor, some class methods (AKA functions), and then pick up the pace by creating the amazing word scramble game.

What is the “this” keyword all about? Honestly, it’s way simpler than most people give it credit for – one copy of “this” class variable (let’s not forget methods) is owned by (i.e. given to) each class instance… that’s it!

We instantiate multiple objects – a game class instance, and several player class instances. The game class has an array of player class instances, thereby having control over the players via the game object.
