Jesse Harlin, the developer behind the awesome create-phaser-app, recently gave a talk at ThunderPlains, a web and mobile developer conference. These are his slides from the talk.

"This talk is about three things that interrelate. Firstly, its about some fundamental concepts for making a video game, such as how to manage animations, maps, basic AI and more. Secondly it is about Phaser 3, the latest-and-greatest framework for achieving your videogame goals in Javascript. Thirdly it is about my experience working on a boilerplate and scaffold to bring all these ideas into an Open Source project so anyone can make their own game in Javascript!
