I Open-Sourced My Phaser-Powered HTML5 Game

@lewis9029 - Phaser is a joy to develop with because of how well put together it is. The main advantage to using it is that you&#x27;ll reap the benefit of a veteran game developer&#x27;s many years of experience rather than having to implement tweens, spritemaps, groups, physics, etc, on your own.<p>Though I haven&#x27;t built a turn-based game with it myself yet, I know others have and it would basically save you time and allow you to focus on the logic that makes your game unique.<p>@deificx - Thanks for letting me know. I&#x27;ll look into this.<p>@TheSisb2 - Thanks. Glad you&#x27;ll find it useful.

Good post. I&#x27;ve been pondering making posts like this for a book -- HN would you pay for code breakdowns of completed games with source code provided? (Personally I bought the gameprogrammingpatterns.com book but I might be an exception in this crowd)

Phaser really is fantastic. I&#x27;m not much of a programmer but I&#x27;m able to churn out some pretty decent projects with it. It&#x27;s really nice.

Thanks for sharing!<p>I&#x27;m curious though: what would a game engine like Phaser offer over general-purpose web app frameworks for building turn-based games (other than maybe performance)?<p>I&#x27;ve been toying with the idea of a turn-based co-op rogue-like using web technologies. I was considering just using some React-based framework and lots of fancy custom CSS to build it, since it leverages my existing knowledge and experience much better.

Apart from the source-code being open-sourced, the game really is fun as well.<p>I haven&#x27;t gotten far enough, but I hope it becomes more challenging with alien rockets that try to attack you or something.<p>kudos to author for a cool game.

This is a really great write-up! Thank you very much for sharing. I&#x27;ve always wanted to make a game with Phaser, this will definitely come in handy!

Thanks for doing this. I am planning on getting into Phaser really soon and I will definitely be reading this source code.
