enterprise dedicated to making it possible for anyone, to study anything,
anywhere, at any time, for free online, at any subject level. Through our
mission we are a catalyst for positive social change, creating opportunity,

and has grown organically to become a major force in free online education and
skills training. Today, with more than 13 million learners in 195 countries,
Alison is changing how the world learns and up-skills. They are committed to equality and access to
education and skills training irrespective of gender, geography, economic
status or any other barriers that can so often stunt potential. So they offer a
range of free courses that meet the many diverse needs of our learners. The UN
declared in Article 26 of the 1946 Declaration of Human Rights that “Education
shall be free…”. This statement will always inspire us. Alison was founded by Alison CEO, Mike Feerick. Mike is a businessman, but one with a
difference. He believes in social impact, and that you can build a financially
successful business focused on meeting a huge global social need, making
education and skills training more accessible for everyone. He invites anyone
who believes that too, to support the Alison mission.
Alison is free of charge to you. But it’s still
a business – albeit a socially-focused one. We are a social enterprise making
our money through advertising, merchandise, and the sale of Certificates and
Diplomas, should a graduate choose to buy one. |
This course will first introduce you to Apache Cordova, a platform for building native mobile applications, as well as Enchant.js, an open source game engine. You will learn how to install Cordova in your Visual Studio environment, start your video game project, and modify and remove unnecessary codes from the default templates. The course will also discuss how to create a map file and a 2D array where you can store your maps data.
You will then learn how to set up your own game map and load sprite sheets so you can put movable character images into your game. The course will also cover mapping controls so you can easily set controls on the player character that you have created. Finally, you will study how the built-in functions of Enchant.js work to detect collisions, as well as learn how to create attributes or statistics for your player character and display them on screen.
