JavaScript Fighting Game Tutorial with HTML Canvas 

-1 minute: Oh, great! I can maybe learn 1 or 2 in JavaScript. -10 minutes: This is awesome, I'm learning so many new things in JavaScript with ease. Hit Liked and Subscribed. -30 minutes: Damn, I have a future in Game Development. -50 minutes: Shttt, I'm overloaded with Information and Ideas now of what Game I'll be doing. -60 minutes: Hands down! This Tutorial is the best I have seen. After 1 Hour of appreciation, realized to check how many views did this tutorial accumulated now. Sad to say that it only has more than 100k Views. 😢. Everyone! Let's help the man spread this JavaScript tutorial to show our appreciation for uploading a very informative video for FREE.

The fact that me and many other people just woke up to this playing makes me wonder if most of the views this video gets is from people not even trying to watch the video

Bro, I went to sleep, I woke up and this was here Update: IT HAPPENED AGAIN WTH

did anyone else wake up to this

Who else woke up here

Why and how is everyone (including me) waking up to this video. I was watching a slow mo guys video last night and this is playing in the morning. Might as well stick around. This seems kinda fun

I was scrolling through my RU-vid history and figured out that this video was running while I was sleeping.

Dude what. How is everyone waking up to this, i fell asleep watching zelda gameplay. How did i make it 40 mins into this video

Just woke up and I realize that I actually learn more stuff from this man while I was sleeping then I learned in school.

I used to wake up to a video of a guy in a field raining asmr, but now I’ve awoken to this. Perhaps a new era in my life has started.

Absolutely amazing tutorial i literally watched 1h while asleep😂 and i learned so much. Btw why do everybody else wake up to this video

Howd i wake up here

I woke up to watching this video and am now following the tutorial for fun. I don't know how I ended up here but I am glad. Thank you for making this video

This man is giving these tutorials for free! What a beast.

I've only seen 46 minutes so far but this is one of the best tutorial i've ever seen. I think the most complicated part of coding is finding the best way to summarize the logic into objects and decide what has to be structed and what not.

I’ve never watched any coding videos or any videos like this ever I fell asleep with RU-vid on and woke up halfway through at 3 am 😂

This is like the 6th time your videos came up while I was asleep....the algorithm clearly likes you😂

This tutorial is amazing I learned so much about inheritance and constructors made sense for the first time ever and now class components, hooks and props now make more sense I used to get so confused about "passing props" so much was shown here, switch, cases, conditionals, classes understanding the scope of this. Amazing so much learning without realizing it

Been studying CS for about a year, I could never write this on my own yet but I’m following 95% of what your doing. Thanks for this, big help and confidence booster.

This is just AMAZING! thanks Chris! Hope to see more of your high-quality tutorial

I can't thank you enough for the amount of info that you've provided. I started this project a month ago and now I can gladly say that l've finished my first big project / game using JS. Thank you sooo much Chris, Respect from Egypt.

Thank you very much for a another great tutorial. I have learn so much from you, you cant imagine. Chris you are the best! A very VERY good teacher. Stay healthy and strong!

I've only seen 28 minutes so far but this is one of the best tutorial I've ever seen. A blessing.

Man i wish you were around when i first started learning JS. Would have made it sooo much easier! Really amazing tutorial! Please continue with these long in-depth tutorials, you're doing really great! Thanks alot man!

This is the bomb, love creating games in JS! Love 2D fighters (Street Fighters), isometric fighters (Final Fight) and racing games (Outrun) and making their counterparts in JS. What a great tool! :)

I spent all weekend going through this and building along. This was so amazing. Thank for sharing this.

This is an amazing tutorial, it goes step by step, which should also be how we should do it in real projects, adding stuffs when we need them.

Man this is fantastic. I love how you explain every single detail and also add context.

This was such an amazing tutorial! I was looking for a cool project to demo to some eager middle schoolers and found your video. I thought I would just skim it to see if it would be a viable demo and ended up following along all the way through. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

Absolutely amazing tutorial! Its exactly my type, practical and without assuming I know anything, also no unnecessary libraries or databases I couldnt care less about, thank you!!

Speechless! Cannot believe that it is free! This was such an amazing tutorial, explainations were thorough and after watching this video not only did I get an amazing JS game, I also got a bunch of ideas how to add extra content and answers for implementation of those features were already explained in the video. Keep doing this amazing content man!

I've only seen 1h 4min so far but this is one of the best tutorial i've ever seen. I think the most complicated part of coding is finding the best way to summarize the logic into objects and decide what has to be structed and what not. A blessing.

Why did I fall asleep watching who remembers and wake up to this playing. Seems a BUNCH of people are in the same boat so whats going on RU-vid lol

I'm in the 2 hour mark, and the quality of this tutorial is amazingly high. You explain what each part of your code does. You explain the overall algorithm that you use. You use visual tools to draw onscreen (like the red rectangles) to better explain your ideas. Also, you left a link so that people can download the assets that you used in this video. If I had money, I would pay for your courses. I don't mind watching ads in this video. I want to support you in any way that I can. You're an amazing instructor, and you clearly like teaching.

Just finished and deployed. That was so much fun. I hardly slept this weekend. Learned a ton. Thanks a lot.

Just commenting because i really appreciate you putting this out there. I realize because of this video that learning to program games is the fastest and easiest way for me to learn the programming languages. This video is my first step into your world and im grateful that you decided to hold the door open.

You just made me realize I don't love web development. I want to be a video game developer. Thank you so much for helping me come to this realization. I've been working on following this tutorial and, throughout the course of the video, I've had more fun doing this than ANYTHING I've ever done or can Imagine doing in web development.

wooow i think you're not Frontend dev, you are Game dev! Keep going! Good luck 😀😁😁🔥🔥🔥

What a fantastic tutorial! Easily one of the best ones to get you started in JS Game Development

Holy moly. Just.. wow. Love this content, and your other videos will be amazing to go through if they're even half as good as this! Granted, admittedly quite the time commitments, but a relatively immensely small price to pay for what's essentially free shadowing! Seriously, thank you kindly for your work.

I wrote my first game in LUA, the physics are quite difficult to implement, especially if in your head the characters have some kind of interaction with the environment, I think this is a good example of a first game with the beautiful pixel design, for Of course, the ideas are so many that sometimes it frustrates us not being able to implement them quickly but if we like this, it's worth it, there is no better feeling that something works just the way you like it. :)

Jus starting a javascript course and I don't fully comprehend functions and this guy just goes and casually creates a fighting game to post free on youtube. What a legend

It is amazing how you instantly answer all the questions I have as soon as I have them ! Great job ! And your website is also incredible, a new gold mine !

The RU-vid autoplay gods have blessed you. I don’t even know how it could make any connections to what I watch, to what you do.Thanks for being there when I was asleep

Awesome dude! Glad to see these game videos are blowing up for you. The JavaScript content that you've been putting out for years is gold!

I really loved the process, thank you for sharing it with us. You deserve million subscribers.

Not only is this for free , he’s literally explaining each line of code in a way anyone can understand. you’ve gained a subscriber, thank you so much 🇿🇼

This has to be one of the best tutorial videos out there. You have an excellent way of concisely explaining everything you do, as you do it. Four hours extremely well spent! I'll be coming back to code along with some time soon. One feature I particularly want to see implemented is blocking and parrying, maybe even a posture meter.

Hello, i really liked what you did so i made my own game following your tutorials, I didnt copy/paste any single line of code, first i watched and understood all the chapters one by one then i wrote my own implementation. So here's what i did: - Typescript instead of js - Added backwards animations and sprites (attack in both directions) - Fixed some bugs like infinite jumping, cross the edges, prevent attacking while attacking, etc... - Added new sounds & attack animations while attacking, this last only triggers while on the air - Added Figther stats, such name, HP, ATT, DEF, VEL, these stats affects the actual gameplay - Changed some sprites, added white animation to second player Take Hit.png There are many things to do after, with all of this, like character select, you can make character act different if you set different stats on them. Also i tried to apply the `hold` property of the Sprites individually but since this is coming from the parent, so the sprites list should return a list of intances of Sprites rather than a plain object so you can set the hold indivially on them, problem is, passing the position to each of them. Saying this, hope you like it as much i did yours! DEMO: samurai-battle.netlify.app/ CODE: github.com/snakone/samurai-battle Cheers!!!

Why did I wake up here AGAIN

dude sat down for 4 hours and made a step by step tutorial, that is a testament to the amount of focus and mental stamina it takes to be a programmer/software engineer. crazy, Ive always wanted to learn and have started but the focus iw what I struggle with.

I was feeling incredibly demoralized until I started watching this tutorial. Thank you!

So cool and so easy! I bet a lot of newby people will be so thankful for videos and channel like yours

amazing tutorial!!! this carried me through a project. would love an advanced refined version of this game project such as side wall detection and AI!

I literally didn't know any javascript before watching this but understood nearly everything you said. Good work, cheers mate.

I’m currently studying JS, html, css etc. to switch careers but secretly my goal is to develop my own games. This video is exactly what I needed for inspiration that I’m on the right track! I understood so much of it. Truly awesome to post this entire 4-hour tutorial touching SO many subjects from Object Oriented Programming to classes and methods and the DOM and html and css and even GitHub! Seriously broad lesson! Can’t thank you enough for doing it and I hope it gets lots of people to sign up for your other premium lessons! Create that passive income and live the dream! 👍👍😁

Love your tutorials, my portfolio is evolving thanks to you!!!

There's no doubt about it. This is really good💥 I haven't worked with HTML canvas before now, and I can still understand everything very well!!!

Hi Chris, These tutorials are amazing 👏. Could you also make a video on making it work on mobile too. Thanks!

Just completed the full video and want to say I would happily pay for a premium course that expands on this. I've been wanting to learn about SF style AI for a while now. Would also be good to learn about things like stun lock and inputting special moves. I've got a general idea about how to do things like this but would love to see a clean way of doing it.

I encountered this video through the yt-algorythm. I have to say, it's the best tutorial I've seen so far. If you think about that: Some people are charging money for such a clear and transparent tutorial. I am a webdeveloper for a living for nearly one year now, so I didn't understand everything....but I watched the video from start to end, without skipping etc. And I have to say, that everything you did just made sense and was relatively easy to understand. The next step for me will be, to reproduce your code and extend it. Again: thank you so much for this actually good tutorial. PS: I didn't even know, that you can use js in that way lol

I’m so grateful for the technology and how you can learn anything with the press of a button! Thank you for making this video 😊

i fell asleep watching youtube, wake up and check that this video is completely watched in my recently watched, the scary thing is that the was coding in my dream. I’ve never coded before

Wow, I really loved this tutorial. Thank you so much! The only thing I edited was a small if statement to get rid of jumping in the air. And I'm not very firm with github, but I had to make a commit of the code in my fighting-game folder before I could push it to github. This is most likely trivial for everyone accustomed to it, but I struggled some minutes. :D

Sometimes I forget why i love JS. You just made a noddle soup of a code there and works like a charm and no one should tell you is wrong ❤️

Thank you for this amazing tutorial. I had given up on web designing but this gave me motivation to work again.

This is a clear example to anyone starting programming that the issue is not how well you can code but how you can use code to solve a problem.

Why did I go to sleep and everyone is waking up here😂 Update: NAHH WHAT IT HAPPENED AGAIN BRUH

This was fantastic a year ago and it's nice to see it get the recognition it deserves - 3.8 million views. Well done and thanks for your efforts, epic vid.

I have no experience. I just did the basic JS course on Codecademy. I've spent several nights trying to figure out how to take the incredibly limited knowledge I have and start making something very basic. No progress made. 10 minutes into this video and I have something started, 20-30 minutes in and I have a functional bare-bones horse racing game. This video, the demeanor and presentation, all the information explained so succinctly without going on too long or rushing anything, I could go on, but all the other comments already do that for me. Just amazed at this and the progress I'm making, barely into a video about a completely different type of game.

im 100% in tutorial hell, BUT i love the way youre teaching and explaining your processes, 100% subed

I was watching art restoration and woke up to this shit💀

Man, as a Brazilian, I must say that your content is the best I've ever seen!! I will definitely do this project.

The best explanation of coding i've ever seen in my entire life, he doesn't just randomly starts the video with 300 const, explained step by step to help you understand the logic, congrats for the quality content

What a surprise to see my environment asset pack in such great tutorial :)

It's a fantastic tutorial ! i'm not programmer in javascript but in python... but .. i know to i'm watching a perfect tutorial video, with hardwork, good informations by a passionated programmer... thank you so much

I don't have a computer but I just found this channel. This is what I've been looking for most my life.

Hi Chris! 🥵🥵🥵 You are so easy on the eyes it makes it super simple to follow these courses 😉 Can't wait to follow this course. Going to save it for next weekend when I have some time. As always thank you for your hard work putting these together.

Amazing work and great content 👏

I saw first 10 minutes and instantly followed him. Man you are great. Keep doing the amazing work.

Didn’t wake up to this but was watching mythbusters in the background and then suddenly I’m being taught something I have no interest in at 4 in the morning. Good job RU-vid algorithm

This content is great. If you decide to do another one I'd like to see a strategy game with ai like Age of Empires type.

You could release that as a playlist with 10-15 episodes, I think it's easier to keep pace. But I just watched the first minutes and I'm loving it!!! Thank you!!!

Whatever your explaining is getting absorbed like water in a sponge, best game mechanics and logic explaination ever

thank you for providing these comprehensive tutorials for free! insanely helpful

this guy is very underrated

awesome. All of your tutorial, but what about a multiplayer / socket tutorial to make all of these game online ?

One of the best tutorials I've ever seen, next part is to make a tutorial on how to make this game multiplayer

Amazing, i already knew canvas but this made me feel like i didnt know anything and you just made me understood everything better (hope that makes sense)

Your animation data (like framesMax, and filepath, and cropping information or other relevant info) is usually pulled out into a seperate json file, then loaded in for your engine to consume, but what you're doing is obviously fine. One thing that was irking me a bit was switchSprite @2:47:00. rather than making a giant switch which has to be maintained for every new sprite addition you add, this could mostly all be handled in an object literal lookup with a single string argument sent to this function under certain gamestate scenarios. Example: switchSprite(arg){ this.image = this.sprites[arg].image this.framesMax = this.sprites[arg].framesMax this.framesCurrent = 0 } Doing it this way will work regardless of any new additions of sprites you add to this class and massively reduce the amount of repeated code in there.

im about halfway through the tutorial, at the end of the timer part and this tutorial is great! im definitely learning a ton, and when he made mistakes in the video it threw me for a loop and i always panicked untill i resumed the video and realise he fixes those mistakes after XD this tutorial is really awesome, and im glad i found this! p.s. 1:43:49 ouch

Amazing tutorial. Thanks to you, I have created my first video game.

Amazing! Can't believe you put out an entire 4h course on RU-vid. Really appreciate it, learned a lot!

Man, you are a machine, awesome

Hello. Thanks for the video. What kind of todo app are you using?

Glad to see you still uploading videos. Keep going!

Woke up to this, stayed because you're a great teacher!

IMO, it would be better, if you made a single video with basic JavaScript for those who don’t know the language, instead of repeating every tutorial what an eventListener is and how all the little things work. Thank you very much for the videos, btw!! 😃

I have a question! First off I want to say, thanks for the tutorial! It's really easy to follow and is exactly what I was looking for. Now as for the question, I was following along the tutorial and got to the end of task #2, however, I was able to infinitely just jump with both UpArrow and the w key. Did I miss something and how do I fix that?

I literally fell asleep and woke up to this 💀💀💀💀
