Fast and Furious Game Development with JavaScript and AI

Overview

"Fast and Furious Game Development with JavaScript and AI" was created to take anyone with or without experience in coding, teach them HTML5 + CSS and JavaScript from the ground up using Graphics and Game Development as the platform to learn. And then with the fundamentals in hand, we take one of the most exciting journeys in computing and we learn how to use Generative AIs like ChatGPT to build working games!
