Welcome to Issue 8 of Phaser World
You may have noticed the Minecraft header in this newsletter. It's from our lead story about how Code.org is using a Phaser powered version of Minecraft to teach coding to millions of kids :)
I can't believe it's December already. This year has flown by, but what a year it has been! I've never really been one for 'looking back', as looking forward is always infinitely more fun.
