Make coding fun: developing a game in the browser

Learn how to develop your own arcade game in the browser and unleash your programming creativity!

For many, software engineering is limited to the enterprise domain, where particular patterns, practices and behaviors limit the spectrum of challenges programmers face. Generally speaking, game programming paradigms are wildly different from enterprise development. Computers are now so powerful that it is totally possible to write games in vanilla JavaScript. I wrote a small but fun game, Blasteroids, over a few weekends. This talk is a step-by-step description of how that came to be and hopefully an incentive for many to create their own game.
