Social Casino Game Development Program
Master the technical skills behind engaging social casino games through hands-on coding and real project development
Program Focus
This 16-week program centers on JavaScript programming, HTML5 canvas manipulation, and CSS3 animations. You'll build actual slot games, poker interfaces, and interactive casino experiences while learning industry-standard development practices.
Technical Stack
We work primarily with vanilla JavaScript, modern ES6+ features, HTML5 Canvas API, CSS Grid and Flexbox, plus popular libraries like PixiJS for graphics rendering. No prior game development experience required.
Real Projects
Build your portfolio with functioning games: a multi-reel slot machine, Texas Hold'em interface, roulette wheel with physics, and a complete social casino lobby system with user progression.
Curriculum Breakdown
Four comprehensive modules designed to take you from coding basics to complete game systems
JavaScript Foundations & Game Logic
Start with JavaScript fundamentals specifically applied to game development. You'll learn variables, functions, and objects through building simple card games and dice mechanics.
- ES6+ syntax and modern JavaScript features
- DOM manipulation for game interfaces
- Random number generation and probability
- Event handling for user interactions
- Basic algorithms for card shuffling and dealing
HTML5 Canvas & Visual Effects
Master HTML5 Canvas for creating animated game elements. Build spinning reels, card animations, and particle effects that make games feel polished and engaging.
- Canvas drawing operations and transformations
- Sprite animation and frame-based movement
- Particle systems for visual feedback
- Image loading and optimization techniques
- Performance optimization for smooth animations
Game Mechanics & User Experience
Focus on the psychology of game design. Implement reward systems, progressive jackpots, and social features that keep players engaged while learning advanced CSS layouts.
- CSS Grid for complex game layouts
- Flexbox for responsive interface design
- Local storage for saving player progress
- Sound integration with Web Audio API
- Mobile-responsive design patterns
Complete Game Development
Put everything together by building a full social casino game from scratch. This includes backend integration, multiplayer features, and deployment to web platforms.
- WebSocket implementation for real-time features
- REST API integration for user data
- Code organization and modular architecture
- Testing strategies for game logic
- Deployment and version control with Git
