What do Capybaras and JavaScript have in common? Well, this video! Today, I'll play the role of a full stack developer and create my first game in JavaScript with no experience.
Hoppibara
(I could not get Kaboom.js to export properly so no link to the game this time.)

Creating video games can be quite challenging, but with cool frameworks like Phaser, Babylon.js, or Kaboom.js using JavaScript is really easy. JavaScript is fantastic for beginners due to its user-friendly, high-level scripting language and extensive community support that makes it accessible for those learning to program. And honestly, it's perfect for people who are asking the question "How to learn how to program?" or "How to make video games".

I really love how you design your sprites, both pixel art and vector designs.
Of course he made a Capybara game, everyone has to make a Capybara game at some point. It's like the modern gaming equivalent of Hello World.
I literally just started to code for my Masters Thesis and it is so fun! Right now I am only coding scienc-y stuff with a lot of data extracting and auto writing files, but I would love to try out some game coding later down the line!

Wish you would’ve leaned in more with how JavaScript worked for your game. I gave up C++ because it was too stressful, but with you having literally no experience at first made me realize that I could start back… If I wanted to

@@Goodgishow are you doing this style. I am super new to design. Can you tell me what this style is called I can probably take it from there and also what design software are you using?
Dude this is perfect 😭 the capy looks insanely cute I want to play this so badly 🤣 Also really dope to see you make it in Javascript! My first real experience with gamedev was with Phaser so making games in Javascript has a special place in my heart :'')
Not only do we get another cute looking time killing game, we also get some awesome new Dewdrop sneakpeeks, love it!
I love the style you use for every game!
I LOVE your art style it is SOOO CUTE!
This is absolutely adorable. Well done!
It's so cool to see this! I've been learning Javascript Development using P5.js (it's not really meant for games but I've used it for a while for art and it's both less intimidating then vanilla JS and gives me more control of designing my engine in a way that more game focused libraries don't) Right now I'm in the middle of a space invaders clone and it has been so much fun! I'm getting a little drained by how long it's taking and this was just what i needed right now. I never realized what a motivation boost it would be to recognize the code on screen, it felt homey. Your game looks adorable and Kaboom is an awesome choice for a library, great job!
@BusinessWolf1

If vanilla Js is intimidating to you, you have a much bigger problem than what library to use, and also you have absolutely no clue what you actually want from a library, because you haven't broken bad beliefs and built new ones about programming. You are at the start of the dunning kruger curve. Move forward on it before you do anything else, otherwise your projects will have bad code, bad architecture, will be impossible to maintain, completely unintelligible, and when you get better you will dread looking at their code again.

@@BusinessWolf1sorry, but this advice seems pretty bad "Move forward on [the dunning kruger curve] before you do anything else" how are they going to get further ahead with doing things? the most basic-level advice you can give anyone is to fail over and over again, right? shouldn't they make all of the bad, completely unintelligible code and architecture and use it as a learning experience for the future?
hey i just discovered your channel and i love it! Are you full time on your indie game? Keep it up! 👍
this is literally the cutest game ive ever seen, and as someone that also loves js, this is an automatic sub

By any chance you happen to have a course on how to design sprites/pixel art with certain design principles or best practices? I've build a simple dino game but damn, your visuals really transformed it into something else. You should create a signup list for it and see how many people would interested in the course, cuz I'm sure there'll be quite a demand for it. Would definitely sign up for a course just like that to up my design skills cuz it's ass hahah.
You should make a game in Microsoft Makecode Arcade next. Its default is blocks, but it is slightly different than Scratch's blocks. You can also change it to JavaScript or python if you want. It is good for retro style games like Dewdrop Dynasty. But it only has the amount of buttons a game boy has (hence the retro aspect) so it might be hard to work with. I love your videos! 😀

You should’ve added a special feature where if you go past an orange box theres a warning telling you to resist the oranges and if you die on an orange box on the you died menu it should say how you fell for temptation.

I've been working on the roadmap to make a game myself for the longest time. Have a few game engines in mind (Construct 3, Godot, GDevelop, Scratch) There's also Node... ugh so many. lol
I wish he made longer videos.
I once made an infinite top down space shooter in Javascript... But I made it using just plain javascript. It was so tedious building everything scratch that I decided to switch to Godot after that instead.

Cute game I must say I wish you would go over the JavaScript part of it more. In the end, it was a just a video about making simple cute game, and nothing more There's nothing wrong with it, and it was cool to watch, but since the premise was about making a game in JavaScript, I was hoping to see what differences there were between the organization/problems & solutions/e.c. there would be between a JavaScript game with any other one Maybe it was all just about promoting Brilliant? Idk Besides that, it was a chill video
