JavaScript Game Tutorial with HTML Canvas: Gorillas

In this JavaScript Game Tutorial, we code a modern version of the 1991 classic game, Gorillas!

This tutorial is both a JavaScript Game Tutorial and an introduction to the HTML Canvas elements. First, we learn how to draw on a Canvas element with JavaScript. How to draw the background, the buildings, the gorillas, and the bomb.

Then we add interaction. We add event handlers, we cover how to aim, how to animate the bomb across the sky, and how to detect if the bomb hit the enemy or a building.

In the end, we also add AI logic for the enemy gorilla, so you can play against the computer.
