Get hands-on JavaScript game development by building Tetris, covering graphics, game loops, and collision detection, resulting in a fully functional game.

Zero to Hero in JavaScript

This module will provide us hands-on game development experience with JavaScript. We’ll cover concepts like graphics, game loops, and collision detection by using the class game of Tetris. By the end of this module, we’ll have a fully functioning game with points and levels to add to our portfolio.

Creating Tetris with JavaScript

Congratulations! You have successfully completed the “Creating Tetris with JavaScript” module.

## Summary

In this module, we’ve learned about the basics of game development using JavaScript and the Canvas element. We learned the updates that came with ECMAScript 2015 and later. We also learned how the language evolved with these updates. Hence, the Tetris game that we’ve coded used the latest JavaScript best practices.

## Takeaways

- We learned the basics and syntax of JavaScript to create simple programs.

- We learned how to use the functionality and operations of JavaScript to solve real-world problems.

- We discussed how to make our program code cleaner and more scalable.

- We comprehensively covered the implementations of commonly used data structures in JavaScript.

- We built a Tetris game using modern JavaScript step-by-step. Every step has live andeditable samples available to play with so you can see what the game should look like.
