Welcome to Issue 20 of Phaser World
We seem to have a bit of a nautical theme this week, with the excellent Sea Bubble Pirates 2, and the incredibly addictive Ocean Tribes. Plus a tutorial on adding swimming to platformers too.
The AirConsole HTML5 Game Contest deadline has been extended, so if you fancy trying for the $1500 prize money it's well worth entering.
There has been quite a wave of updates in browsers over the past week. Firefox and Chrome now natively supporting class, extends and other ES6 syntax. It's good to see, and discussed here.
Until next issue, happy coding! And don't forget to drop me a line if you've got any news you'd like featured.

Lazer Development
From last week: After delving back into Phaser it was nice to return to development of Lazer. Updates have mostly been structural and internal, although I did find some time to have fun building some Special FX classes, including Starfields and SinusDots (press 1-9 to change wave form, and I to toggle sprites).
I also took the opportunity to upload the Lazer Test Suite online, so you can run the tests without checking out the whole repo.
As usual the code for all examples, and Lazer itself, can be found in the repos.
Phaser Releases
The current version of Phaser is 2.4.6 released on February 18th 2016.
