For people not familiarising with the 2D-portfolio is you can create a 'normal' portfolio that is good for recruiters and give a dialog or something that takes them inside this, incase they are interested in checking out something like this. Great video by JSLegendDev, loved this concept.

Feel free to adapt it so it becomes more convenient while maintaining originality. You could for example, implement quick navigation, etc... My tutorial is just meant as a starting base you can take it in any direction you want from there; or just use what you learned here to start making actual games ;) You could also make it as a personal site (your personal corner on the internet) rather than strictly a developer portfolio.

Tell me about it. And they keep giving you the same response without fully explaining exactly why they chose someone else for the job instead of you? I am not a coder, I am a visual artist and this has been happening to me for so many years.

It doesn’t need to be the main portfolio, it can be a second one. Maybe like a toggle on the main portfolio

I'm still inexperienced in coding but this tuto is really a great motivation for me to really learn as the portfolio is important as I'm currently still a student and it is fun because of the game concept rather than plain portfolio for learning purposes

Hello how are you! I've followed the tutorial and found it quite interesting! I made a quick portfolio for myself but i'm having trouble to deploy it on the web. Im using git pages, don't know if that could be an issue because it's giving 404 errors with some files. Can I use gitpages? if yes, is there any extra config i need to do to deploy my portfolio on the web? thanks!
@Narslimmus Ай бұрын
As thankful I am for all the free knowledge you provide, I don't think this is a good idea for the majority of people, maybe exclusively game developers will benefit from this style. Your portfolio should be usable first things first, then beautiful, then unique; don't fall into the trap of overcomplicating your site. Just some wisdom from someone who spent almost two years going crazy over this.

Silly me, I've found it: the boundary.width was missing, it only had a hight, so there was no boundary :D lol. Thank you so much! I coded a few small games in vanilla js before, but Kaboom makes it a lot easier, I love it!

Hi, Thank you for uploading this. I really loved the course it's a super interesting way of showcasing a Portfolio. However, I've ran into a problem during deployment. I tried to deploy this on Github all it returns me is a white screen with a "Tap/Click around to move" at the top left. All the assets do not load and all that's returned is Failed to load resources: server responded with a status of 404(). This is for utils, kaboomCtx, monogram.ttf and constants. The localhost loads when I run Npm run preview and Npm run dev so I doubt the pathing is the issue. I would really appreciate it if you're able to guide me on this.

@devtravaller 23 күн бұрын
frame count is how many sprite u have for animate
@Luis-wf9ws 18 күн бұрын
Animations(and games by extension) are made of images put one after another to give the illusion of movement, those images are called frames and the fluidity of a game depends on how many frames do you have in a second

One way you could go about it is to use the div used for rendering the UI and use it as the root of your React code. All your React components will be rendered there.

Why would you use vite if you can write in plain JavaScript?
@JSLegendDev Ай бұрын
You could use plain javascript (just load the Kaboom library via a script tag) without vite however you wouldn't get intellisense for the Kaboom library which is pretty helpful.

It's cool but not practical as a portfolio. I wouldn't bother to go through that just to know what your skills are. No one has the time to play a game just to see your skills. I mean it could work if you're applying as a game maker creator for a game studio but as a website? No.

The worst game development tutorial I’ve ever seen. You should run project at every step of the development and gradually show the progress. But you’re just writing and writing the code. It’s also a bad practice for beginners to write code in big chunks without even testing it.
