Templates

As I've worked through the various tutorials I've created two templates that I use for my own projects.

_Starter

These templates have been moved to the Phaser Starter Templates project on GitHub, and mirror on GitLab.

_Starter Simple

This project uses TypeScript with Phaser (2.6.2), and aims to be a simple version of the _Starter project, with all code in a single file.

Other variants use the free Visual Studio Code and include:

• _Starter Simple VS Code
  • Uses Visual Studio Code and Phaser 2.6.2, the last official release.
• _Starter Simple VS Code CE
  • Uses Visual Studio Code and Phaser Community Edition.

Tutorial creators worth following

The following sites are worth following if you're interested in Phaser tutorials.

• Emanuele Feronato posts tutorials on a regular basis, and sells a couple complete tutorials.
• GameDev Academy has a mix of posts, including in Phaser. This is done by the folks behind Zenva, which has a pretty good online series for sale that covers creating a variety of games in Phaser.
