posted message: Hey game developers! I have an important announcement about the schedule of this course.
The week we're in was originally supposed to be Week 4 of the syllabus. However, I've gotten way behind due to Mozilla user-research duties. I'm still posting up Week 3 contents, and it looks like many of you are still working on the exercises from Week 2.
So I'm thinking, how about we let the schedule slip back a little bit, and extend the course for another week at the end in order to cover the material? If nobody has any objections, we'll just call this "Week 3" and go on from here. Let me know if that's OK with you.
posted message: Hello,
I just posted some more sample code for week 3 -- this one shows how to animate a sprite with several frames of animation all stored in a single image file (for quicker loading).

posted message: Hi everyone,
I just added three new videos. Lesson 2 now has video explanations for examples 2.6 - explaining arcs and transparent colors -- and 2.7 - explaining translation, rotation, and scaling transformations. Lesson 3 has a video explaining how to use Javascript's built-in Math object to do angles, distances, and random numbers.
posted message: Hey everybody, I just put up the first content for Week 3 - there is some sample code demonstrating how to do horizontal scrolling at http://new.p2pu.org/en/groups/beginning-game-development-with-html-5/content/lesson-3-scrolling-and-animation/
It will especially be of interest to those of you making side-scrollers. It can also be easily modified for scrolling in any direction.
posted message: Hey everybody, a quick poll.
I am thinking of setting up a dedicated server that you can use for hosting your game projects for this class. If you are in the class and you don't already have a server of your own to use, I would give you an account on the class server; you could use an FTP program to transfer files there. Show of hands: How many people would make use of this server if I set it up?
posted message: Hey everybody! Sorry I haven't posted any new content the past couple of days; there was a pretty serious bug I had to fix that was holding back the Firefox 5 beta release (!!) and I couldn't really think about anything else until that was done.
I will be posting the Lesson 2 contents tonight and tomorrow. I'll also be sending you more comments on your submitted work. Thanks for your patience everybody!
posted message: Just added video 1.2. Sorry It took so long for me to upload it; I wasn't quite sure myself about some of the points in it so I wanted to do some research and try out some code to make sure before I showed it to you. The contents for lesson 1 are now complete.
I'll be answering questions and reviewing your completed assignments over the rest of the day.
