Some tutorial on making this project #10

Open Majirefy opened 7 years ago

Majirefy commented 7 years ago

I know this may sound odd, but I want to learn it.

I am new to Front End development, and setting up a development environment is always the most frustrating thing. Lots of tools but I do not know how to choose, or which is better. Webpack, Gulp, Grunt, Babel... And most tutorials ignore telling this HARD process, just let learner choose a favorite text editor.

I analysed package.json in this project, and npm js scripts. But it's too hard for a newbie like me.

So would you please shed some light on how to set up a development environment for Phaser? Just to say telling me how you made this project step by step.

Days ago, I wanted to add source map for webpack for better debug. But it failed. Then I tried to set up a Phaser project from scratch, also no good. Webpack ran, but without showing my index.html, it showed a list of js files.

This is why I made this issue. Or would you recommend me some tutorials on this?

Thank you!

Hey @Majirefy, I'd be happy to write up a step-by-step tutorial series on how to get a Phaser project going and why I chose to do some of the things I did, etc... Not sure of a timeline, as spare time is pretty limited, but I should be able to at least get started on a Part 1 (explanation of a few available options for things like language, build tools, libraries, etc, and why I chose what I did?).

Thanks for the suggestion and your continued interest in my little project :)

@rroylance Thanks!

Why not make a screen cast with some narration on YouTube? That's much straight-forward and saves your time.

I've thought about it before, but, I'm not confident enough for that, I'll stick to the more work way. Maybe add in some GIFs to meet you half way. Haha.

Besides my upload speed is complete garbage, it would take many hours to even upload a video while also making my internet useless during the whole process. UGH.
