🎯 Build Your First Game with Phaser.js: Complete Tutorial

Phaser.js is one of the most popular 2D game frameworks for the web. It handles physics, input, audio, and rendering so you can focus on making fun games.

Why Phaser?

Massive community, excellent documentation, built-in physics (Arcade, Matter.js), sprite sheets, tilemaps, and scene management. Perfect for beginners and pros alike.

Your First Game in 5 Steps

1. Install Phaser via CDN or npm. 2. Create a game config with width, height, and physics settings. 3. Write a preload function to load assets. 4. Write a create function to set up your game objects. 5. Write an update function for your game loop.

Adding Physics

Enable Arcade Physics for simple collisions. Add gravity, velocity, and overlap detection. Your objects will interact realistically with minimal code.

Polish and Publish

Add animations, particle effects, sound, and a UI. Then deploy to Itch.io or your own website. Share your creation with the world!
