Thanks. After playing with the Chromebook, I've backed off Linux. I'm just using the native Chromebook and Chrome Dev Tools. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-dev-editor-develop/pnoffddplpippgcfjdhbmhkofpnaalpg Runs Phaser like a charm. I know these kids free can have free C9 accounts but not sure they will all have access to internet (this is in a Community Housing project). Currently there is no internet in the community project room, I am using my phone as a hotspot. DevTools provides a chopped down version of ACE editor, provides syntax marking but not auto-completions. It's like programming 30 years ago in BASIC (which may not be a bad thing for getting these kids started). DevTools is functional and has full integration with GitHub, I've written my first 'game' without problem.

function create () { mytext = game.add.text(10, 500, 'text', { font: "16px Arial", fill: "#FFFF00" }) } function update() { mytext.position.y = mytext.position.y-1; // up 1 pixel }

I'm a newbie to Phaser, hoping to learn enough to use it for a 'summer camp' for high-school programmers. We plan on using the Acer Chromebook. It is a low-cost little powerhouse, but not the most intuitive box to set up. I will be scouring this forum as I learn, so wanted to 'pay ahead'. Attached is a step-by-step guide to setting up Phaser on the Acer Chromebook. Programmers setup for ACER C720.pdf
