Participate


Use Javascript and HTML 5 to make a multiplayer game you can play with your friends in any browser.

Learn how to make games using web standards, that will play in any modern browser, without plugins! Each week we'll investigate a particular aspect of game development -- input, animation, sound, physics, and multiplayer/networking -- and learn how to implement it using Javascript and HTML 5. Bring your own game ideas, and be ready to help your fellow learners playtest their games and figure out how to fix their bugs! I will be leading this study group for six weeks beginning April 25, 2011.

What is P2PU?

The Peer 2 Peer University is a grassroots open education project that organizes learning outside of institutional walls and gives learners recognition for their achievements.
