GameDev with JavaScript and Kaboom.js - Metroidvania Game Tutorial

[@JSLegendDev]

Hope you enjoy this course. Check out my channel for more JavaScript gamedev tutorials. Note : Kaboom.js was rebranded to Kaplay which is a community maintained fork. This tutorial is still applicable since Kaplay is just Kaboom under a new name. All the concepts taught here are the same in Kaplay. Hope this clear things up. I have a video on my channel explaining the rebrand in more details if you're interested.

[@hatredguy]

Nice. I'm not into gaming, but I love listening to your tutorials and listening to how you break things down. You're doing an awesome job. Please keep it up!!

[@JSLegendDev]

Thanks!

I love kaboomjs because it still more hand on coding more than just drag and drop thing around

[@G5349]

Kaboom is now Kaplay JS which is community maintained.

Thanks for giving me a 2nd project idea.

[@niceEli]

for anyone having issues or want new features of kaboom, its been forked and rebranded to kaplay. if you wanna swtich you just replace kaboom with kaplay for example: npm i kaplay instead of npm i kaboom

What about some tutorial of Phaser.js ? Theres really not much of tutorials about Phaser

[@mahendranath2504]

Wow thank you so much 👍👌🥳🎉👏🏻

[@Cheesyonmytoasty]

Kaboom is no longer maintained though.... 🙄🙄

[@JSLegendDev]

Kaboom has been rebranded to Kaplay. It's the same thing but is maintained by the community. The concepts in this tutorial are all applicable to Kaplay.

@@JSLegendDevthank you! these courses can be so outdated so quickly.

30:30 how you call it 16 im really confuse

[@JSLegendDev]

You have your image which has a certain width and height. x = 16, y = 16 represents a point in that image with coordinates (16, 16). Starting from that point you're cutting a out a smaller zone that you'll use with width = 60 and height = 48. This subset is what you're going to use for as a sprite for the health bar and not the whole image.

how to show fps and colliders in mac ? f1 is not working

[@sonson_hk]

why not use phaser for development?

[@JSLegendDev]

I think that Kaplay/Kaboom's API is more intuitive. I don't really like the way you do things in Phaser.

Tech comments only 😊

Kaboom.js is no longer maintained though.

[@kneekoo]

Their GitHub page says this: _"Replit no longer maintains Kaboom. You may be interested in the community fork KaPlay."_

[@JannatunNahar-j8k]

Finally, I get JavaScript interesting for game development. Could you please provide a video on AWS Machine Learning Specialty Certification exam and Azure AI Engineer Associate 102 exam preparation. Thanks.❤

[@MateoC-f4n]

kaboom is super good but performance is terrible sadly

[@jakubfrei3757]

? So it is not super good ? Tf ?

[@JSLegendDev]

@@jakubfrei3757 Depends on how you code your game. On my end, I get 60fps for the game project taught in this course. You can find the demo link in the description.
