Javascript Game Development – Lunch meeting Wed. April 17th

During our social event in March Joel Taddei (@taddeimania) gave an awesome fast presentation on what he’s doing with JavaScript games. We liked it so much that we are having him return for an extended presentation.

We’ll be meeting for lunch Wednesday April 17th in West Des Moines at Felix and Oscar’s. Meet us at Noon at 4801 Westown Parkway . The meeting is free and you can purchase your favorite sandwich, pasta or pizza dish from their great lunch menu (there are many choices for $7-8).

Summary:

Making games with Javascript can be really fun!  Come join us as Joel introduces the ImpactJS game engine, and covers the following:

  • Fundamentals of game programming and the “game loop”
  • “Freebies” and abstractions ImpactJS affords the developer
  • Deploy targets [iOS, Android, OSX, Linux, Windows]

There will be a drawing at the end of the meeting for one ImpactJS license ($100 value) so you can take your new found knowledge and make some games!
