About This Book

This relatively short book attempts to cover a very large topic. While this book is considered an introduction to building HTML5 games with Impact, a JavaScript game framework, it is also intended to be a companion guide to help you get started making, and more importantly, finishing your games. I have created a high-level overview of what I consider to be the most important parts of making a game with Impact, along with what you should keep in mind or research further in order to become a better game developer. This book will take you step-by-step through the process of creating a 2D side-scrolling game with Impact, and how to publish it to the web and even package it up as a native iOS app.
