Welcome to issue 151 of Phaser World!
It's been a busy couple of weeks since the last issue! First of all, Phaser 3.54.0 has been released which you can download from GitHub and npm. This version mostly fixes bugs, has a new build of the Spine Plugin and continues our commitment to improving Phaser 3 throughout 2021.
There are some stunning games this issue, too, including the wonderful Valhalla, a remake of the Amiga classic and 1942, a remake of the Capcom arcade classic! You'll also find great tutorials and the mightily impressive Enable3D plugin.
Got a game or article you'd like featured? Just email me or send me a message on Discord. Until the next issue, keep on coding!

Because Phaser is an open source project, we cannot charge for it in the same way as traditional retail software. What's more, we don't ever want to. After all, it's built on, and was born from, open web standards. The core framework will always be free, even if you use it commercially. Because of this, we rely 100% on community backing to fund all development.
Your support helps secure the constant cycle of updates, fixes, new features and planning for the future. Please help support Phaser on Patreon, via PayPal or GitHub Sponsors.

With the release of Phaser 3.50 it is now possible to easily apply post processing effects to your games. Often abbreviated to post-fx, these are shaders that are applied after a Game Object, Layer, Camera or Scene has been rendered. Because they take place post-render, it allows you to do all kinds of really cool things. Typical examples of post-fx include blur, glows and, of course, beautiful transitions - the kind that only shaders make possible.
In case you missed it in the previous issue, I released the brand new Warp Post FX Pack completely free for all readers to download.
The Warp Post FX Pack allows you to create a beautiful warp displacement effect between any Game Object that supports post-pipelines. This includes Sprites, Layers, Cameras and it can even be used for a Scene transition. You can customise the effect to modify the smoothness of the warp and the direction, leading to some visually lovely combinations.
I strongly suggest you download the entire GitHub repo, because within it you'll find full documentation, lots of examples which show you how to use the FX, an example runner, the full source code for the FX (in TypeScript) and the build files available in both ES5 format and as an ES Module. There are TypeScript defs, too. The readme.html includes instructions on how to use the FX in your own games, no matter how you're coding them.
The source code for this FX pack and the examples are released under the MIT license, so you're free to use it in your own games. However, please understand that the assets are not included with this license, so use them for testing purposes only.
I really hope you enjoy this FX Pack! Feel free to chat to us on Discord if you need any help implementing it.
