Hey Leute ich bin neu in dem ganzen entwickeln usw... ich kann zwar html und css aber nicht JS. Soll ich es zuerst lernen oder kann ich ohne Wissen schon starten?

Hi, dizzyniho!

I think that you should learn some basics of JS. Though there is no need to know very well JS, impactjs it's very flexible game engine and so requires some skills in JS. I would say that the more difficult game you try to create the more knowledge in JS you need. Anyway i believe that learning some basics of JS is necessary.

Hi there, like AzZzOne said, I guess it would be good to have some basics.

There is a free webbook where you can even write code directly inside the webpage to test it, they cover all the basics:

And some fun way to learn js while playing where u control your warrior through js coding:

Have fun.
