Welcome to Issue 21 of Phaser World
If you're off to GDC next week then have a great time! Hopefully you'll come back pumped and enthused to create more games.
For the rest of us, you can join the non-GDC crowd in the Phaser slack room :)
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.
