That's awesome to hear! And yes my "one game per week" challenge was in 2014.

This game was definitely inspired by Flappy Bird, but no I didn't think about that name before today.

Yes, I was definitely inspired by Flappy Bird for this game. I could have called it Flappy Pong I guess.

This is awesome to hear! I stopped making games for a few years to focus on other things, but now I'd like to get back to it.

That's a good point. I'll see what I can do about this, thanks!

Awesome, thanks for the comment! Yes first the paddle shrink, and then later the ball starts to speed up.

Hi! This is my brand new blog where I write tutorials on Javascript. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback :-)

Hi HN!

I'm the guy working on MilkyJS.

If people are interested in it, I'll try to fix the last few bugs and put it on GitHub. So I'm really interested in your feedback, especially: Would you use a framework like this? And do you see ways to improve the API?

Thanks :-)

Phaser is the perfect framework to get started making HTML5 2D games. I can't wait to look into this new release!

If you want to learn more about Phaser, you can check out my Flappy Bird tutorial here: http://blog.lessmilk.com/how-to-make-flappy-bird-in-html5-1/

I also wrote and self-published the first book about Phaser: https://www.discoverphaser.com/

Let me know if you have any questions! :-)

I wrote an ebook on how to make HTML5 games with the Phaser framework. It's been pretty successful, making me over $12,000 on launch day.

I wrote an ebook on how to make games in HTML5 with the Phaser framework. It's been out for a month now, and it has made me over $16,000 in sales. I keep making a couple hundred dollars per day with it.

I wrote the book in Markdown, and then created the 3 formats (epub, mobi, pdf) with leanpub.com

Game #7 works very well for touch devices.

Jump first on the left, then from there jump on the right. And you'll discover the hole game!

Thanks, I love feedback! You make some interesting points.

About input lag, I'm a bit surprised. On my computer the input is super responsive. Maybe it depends on the OS/browser? I'll have to look into this.

Gravity could definitely be better. I'll look at Cave Story then.

I have only 5 short levels, so adding checkpoint will make the game too easy I think.

That's the HN effect. Google Analytics tells me that there are more than 600 active visitors on lessmilk right now.

I have a bachelor's degree in computer science, and I coded a few side projects.

And I'm considering going open source.

If you subscribe to my newsletter, you'll get an updated version of the gamasutra article that you linked.

You mean releasing native iOS/Android games? Yes, I'm thinking about it.

I simply use Photoshop. No real tutorial on this yet, but I plan to write one in the next few weeks.

In the meantime you can read about my process making the sprite for game #6 on my blog: http://blog.lessmilk.com/pixel-art-how-i-made-the-princess-i...

It started as a pure hobby with no revenue. But now that my project is getting a lot of attention, I might start making iOS/Android apps, or maybe write ebooks about how to make games.

Thanks a lot! :-)

OP here. Let me know if you have any questions about my project.

I'm currently making one new HTML5 game per week. My project was recently on the front page of HN.

You can play my games are learn more about the project (tutorials, etc.) on my website: http://www.lessmilk.com

I'm the guy making the games, thanks for mentioning my project!

Let me know if you have any questions.

In 2014 I started http://www.lessmilk.com, a website where I build one new HTML5 game per week. I was on the front page of HN a few days ago.

I'm doing this mainly to learn how to actually make games. So far I have 7 games available. Let me know if you have any questions about it!

Thanks!

For my games I'm using Phaser, a Javascript Framework. I made a small tutorial about it here: http://blog.lessmilk.com/make-html5-games-with-phaser-1/

You should also checkout Phaser official website: http://www.phaser.io with links to other tutorials.

OP here,

It's awesome to see my website submitted on HN. Let me know if you have any questions about my project.

I set myself a challenge: build one new HTML5 game per week in order to learn how to make games. So far I've made 6 games, and 1) I already learned a lot, and 2) the feedback I'm getting from players is super positive.

Thanks a lot, I'm glad that you enjoyed my little game :-)
