What we'll build

In this course, we'll build a vertical platformer game from scratch using HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript.

What You'll Learn

  • Physics Simulation — Create gravity and collision detection from scratch

  • Tiled Map Editor — Import collision blocks to define map boundaries and platforms

  • Sprite Sheets & Animation — Animate your player's run, jump, and fall states

  • Game Camera — Implement a camera that follows the player in all directions

  • Deployment — Upload your game to a live URL using Hostinger

Some concepts overlap with the Multi-room Platformer Tutorial — feel free to skip ahead if you're already comfortable with the basics.

By the end, you'll have a fully playable vertical platformer that anyone on the web can access.
