Phaser III Game Design Workshop: Game Development Course using Phaser v3.x.x Gaming Framework

Turn JavaScript Skills into a Playable Game 🎮

Stephen Gose’s Phaser III Game Design Workshop is a practical, lesson-by-lesson course for developers who want to build games with the Phaser 3 framework. It assumes you already know basic to intermediate JavaScript, and it quickly gets you working inside a real project: a mobile-friendly Breakout-style game.

What the Workshop Covers

Across 16 lessons, you’ll move from an empty HTML page to a finished game. The early lessons cover initializing the framework, scaling the canvas for mobile, loading and deploying assets, and moving the ball. From there you’ll add physics, wall bouncing, player paddle controls, and a game-over scene. The second half builds the brick field, implements collision detection, tracks score, handles winning and extra attempts, adds sound and an input button, and finishes with randomization.

Hands-On from the First Page 💻

Every step includes editable, live samples so you can see what the intermediate stages should look like. The book also includes end-of-lesson quizzes, with two chances to pass each one, and an option to earn a course completion certificate. No expiration date—work at your own pace.

Who This Is For

This workshop is aimed at programmers who are comfortable with JavaScript basics and want a structured introduction to game development with Phaser. It is not a beginner’s guide to programming itself. If you need a JavaScript refresher, the author points to free online resources that can get you up to speed.
