Jandeilson Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hello people!I'm very new to developing with HTML 5 and all that ... so I wanted your help regarding a doubt.About using Visual Studio, I really need to use it to create a good game in HTML5 with the Phaser? Understand web development, so it's easier for me to just programming by a text editor like Notepad + + or Sublime Text. I want to develop without Visual Studio, it is possible without too many complications? Incidentally, I do not know much about Visual Studio. Thank you!

rich Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 You don't need Visual Studio. I use Sublime to create Phaser in. What makes you think you have to use VS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnifisite Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Every text editor will do.I don't know about which tutorials you are talking but people use Visual Studio because VS has code completion.I use both Sublime Text and JetBrains Webstorms.

StrykerKKD Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think the best IDE for Html5 Game development is Brackets.io:1.free and open-source2.Multiplatform3.Easy to use, simple UI4.Live Preview (You don't even have to install web server)5.A lot of plugins (There is a typescript plugin) iShellz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Because the tutorials that use Visual Studio. So... why tutorials use Visual Studio? Those are TypeScript tutorials. The JavaScript tutorials use a plain text editor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandeilson Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Those are TypeScript tutorials. The JavaScript tutorials use a plain text editor Now I understand better... maybe I've made a mess in my head. Thanks for the clarification! Were useful.

Heppell08 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 @JandeilsonWhen I first started looking into phaser dev I made the same mistake. I actually spent 3 days trying to get everything set up using typescript. I read a fairly complex tutorial using grunt and vs and all sorts of other stuff I had no clue about. Soon as I spoke to Rich on twitter I was soon sent in the right direction. My set up:Sublime text 2 with a few plugins. Mainly:Better javascript and a code completion one for open files.Used to use WAMP server but found node-webkit a huge offering of much better use. Has a chrome like console for debug and performs at a much better speed. Basically its much more simple than you'd believe it to be. I feel your pain having went through the same stuff myself. Find an editor you feel comfortablr with and use it. I felt lost when I left my beloved flash develop but adaption to sublime has been easy. Hope this is helpful and you get up and running soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobaltic Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I use Netbeans with the chrome extension. It also allows me to develop the server side php code in conjunction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
