About this title

Synopsis

A new title in The QuestKids children’s series that was launched by In Easy Steps in 2018, designed to make learning fun for children.

Coding with HTML & JavaScript – Create Epic Computer Games is ideal for readers with some experience of coding with Scratch but are ready to take their coding to the next level. Readers will learn the basics of making games with HTML and JavaScript with the programming languages used by professional game developers. Readers will learn how to:

Make images move and respond to keyboard presses.

Draw objects on the canvas and use variables and timers.

Import images and add sounds.

Develop their skills and build some amazing games!

To create the games in this book, children will need a desktop computer or a laptop. The games require a proper keyboard so will not work well on a tablet or iPad. It is recommended that children should be supervised when using the internet, especially when using a new website.
