TRANSCRIPT

In order for you to start making games with Phaser, you will need to have installed a web browser, I'll be using Google Chrome, a code editor and a web server. You can use whichever code editor you are already familiar with. Well, lets start with the beginning here. What is a web browser? A web browser is simply a program that will receive requests from the browser, it will serve files as a response. It will send our game as a response. The simplest way to get a web server running, that doesn't require any advanced technical knowledge, is to install the Brackets Code Editor. When you open brackets go to file and open the folder. Find the folder that you want to serve with the web server so I'm gonna find the folder where my game is located, already had it here, so I'm gonna select that folder that will show me all of the files here, and then what you do is you press this live preview button. So when you press that, brackets opens a Chrome page and it serves your files using a web server. So you can see that we have a specific URL here. This is the URL of this web server.
