Develop Games Using Javascript | Kaboom.js #1

This is a series I will be creating on my youtube channel and also I will write a blog for every video.

This is the first part of that series, we will be creating a game similar to the dino jumping game on google chrome.

Let's Start...

I will be using the npm method. If you want an example of the CDN method you can check out my old project. My old project is the description of the video in the playlist and on Github.

Step 1:

We need a bundler for using Kaboom, so I am using parcel. You can use

npm i -g parcel-bundler

to install parcel globally.

Then install Kaboom.js using

npm i kaboom

Step 2:

Create a basic HTML file with the following content.

Step 3:

Create a Javascript file where we will code our game.

Then Import Kaboom and Initialize it using.

import kaboom from 'kaboom'

kaboom()

Step 4:

In the package.json add the following inside the scripts section.

"start": "parcel src/index.html -p 3000"

src is the name of the folder where my HTML file is and you can provide any port.

Now just run npm run start in the console.
