What do Capybaras and JavaScript have in common? Well, this video! Today, I'll play the role of a full stack developer and create my first game in JavaScript with no experience.

Hoppibara
(I could not get Kaboom.js to export properly so no link to the game this time.)

Creating video games can be quite challenging, but with cool frameworks like Phaser, Babylon.js, or Kaboom.js using JavaScript is really easy. JavaScript is fantastic for beginners due to its user-friendly, high-level scripting language and extensive community support that makes it accessible for those learning to program. And honestly, it's perfect for people who are asking the question "How to learn how to program?" or "How to make video games".

    SUBSCRIBE if you love Capybaras!!! ♥♥♥

    I've always loved the "style" and branding your channel has. I know you probably won't see this, but I just wanted to say that you are such an inspiration for me right now in so many things: GameDev, Content creation, Graphic design and so much more! 😁
  • @ivowtf
    I really love how you design your sprites, both pixel art and vector designs.
  • @costelinha1867
    Of course he made a Capybara game, everyone has to make a Capybara game at some point. It's like the modern gaming equivalent of Hello World.
  • @Malinzo
    I literally just started to code for my Masters Thesis and it is so fun! Right now I am only coding scienc-y stuff with a lot of data extracting and auto writing files, but I would love to try out some game coding later down the line!
  • Wish you would’ve leaned in more with how JavaScript worked for your game. I gave up C++ because it was too stressful, but with you having literally no experience at first made me realize that I could start back… If I wanted to
  • @SomeHumbleOnion
    Dude this is perfect 😭 the capy looks insanely cute I want to play this so badly 🤣 Also really dope to see you make it in Javascript! My first real experience with gamedev was with Phaser so making games in Javascript has a special place in my heart :'')
  • @RKIOrbMage
    Great video! Your vector art is always awesome!
  • @vilet918
    It's so cool to see this! I've been learning Javascript Development using P5.js (it's not really meant for games but I've used it for a while for art and it's both less intimidating then vanilla JS and gives me more control of designing my engine in a way that more game focused libraries don't) Right now I'm in the middle of a space invaders clone and it has been so much fun! I'm getting a little drained by how long it's taking and this was just what i needed right now. I never realized what a motivation boost it would be to recognize the code on screen, it felt homey. Your game looks adorable and Kaboom is an awesome choice for a library, great job!
  • @Edweirdz
    hey i just discovered your channel and i love it! Are you full time on your indie game? Keep it up! 👍
  • @JuhoSprite
    Not only do we get another cute looking time killing game, we also get some awesome new Dewdrop sneakpeeks, love it!
  • @bluepomodoro3679
    By any chance you happen to have a course on how to design sprites/pixel art with certain design principles or best practices? I've build a simple dino game but damn, your visuals really transformed it into something else. You should create a signup list for it and see how many people would interested in the course, cuz I'm sure there'll be quite a demand for it. Would definitely sign up for a course just like that to up my design skills cuz it's ass hahah.
  • I LOVE this! It reminds me the old game “avalanche” where you were a little piece of gum jumping up on blocks
  • @emalinu
    Could we get a tutorial/vlog video of you doing your designs? I've always loved this artstyle, that's what made me subscribe lol!
  • @TryingCode
    I'm using this editing style as inspiration now. This video is so good and yet insanely simple!
  • @mochichi5068
    this is literally the cutest game ive ever seen, and as someone that also loves js, this is an automatic sub
