Description

Gamification is a process where you make people play a game to get rewards. This is certainly an extremely powerful marketing strategy which boosts the number of visitors to your social page or website.

I’ll teach you how to create a complete real game from scratch in just under 5 hours using simple technologies like HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT/PHP & mySQL. The players will use their Facebook account to log in, and we will keep track of their scores. The high score table which we will also implement, keeps the game addictive and make players fight to keep the top spot.


One of the big challenges of online web games are that they attract cheaters who will do anything to win prizes. In the last section of this course, you will learn different ways to hack a Javascript game and change the results. I will teach you the vulnerable parts of a game, mistakes to avoid during javascript game creation and how to protect your game using data encryption with CryptoJS and Open SSL.


This course will not only teach you how to build a game, but you can make use of this knowledge to build more sophisticated javascript applications including those with Facebook login and database interaction.
