samme Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I say start with Phaser 3. But it will take a little more patience because there are fewer learning resources (so far) for Phaser 3. Try https://phaser.io/tutorials/getting-started-phaser3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandmcd Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Do you have any Javascript or programming experience? If so Phaser 3 should suit you just fine, the api documentation is outstanding already ,and they haven't even finished it yet. If you are a true newbie, Phaser 3 will be difficult to start on, as there are only 2 or 3 basic tutorials in existence since it just released. Phaser 2 has plenty of tutorials and examples online, plus visual editors like Mightyfingers or Phaser Editor (commercial product) help make it easier to develop games to start. Those visual editors are not yet available for Phaser 3. Most importantly, get Javascript experience, you will need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPC Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hi guys! Is there a convenient way to view Phaser 3 docs online? https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser3-docs says “point your browser to docs/”, which isn't helpful I can download the JSDoc generated files from the repo, but wonder if there is a simpler way without copying it all locally.

To answer the original question ... how comfortable are you with JavaScript? No? ... then visit MDN ... since JavaScript IS NOT typical OOP language as much as folks would like you to believe. Both v2 &v3 pull some odd tricks, and the newer v3 promotes horrible design patterns ( anti-patterns) .... you'll cry " Why did n`t I take the Blue Pill ...."

EpicKingdom_ Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I would learn Phaser 3 simply because you're going to have to learn it sometime anyways. I hear that Phaser 3 is completely different from Phaser 2, so it would suck having to learn 2 and then starting over with 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Phaser 3. It's great and although it's still very new it's really easy to use and works brilliantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
