Hi Stephanie, this game looks awesome! If you are coming from Java/Android then you will pick up the concepts very quickly, I think. You may want to start by running this example game app: https://github.com/mozilla/mortar-game-stub Volo can be installed like this: http://volojs.org/ For more examples, you can try out either of these HTML5 game tools: http://craftyjs.com/ http://www.limejs.com/ To make these into installable Firefox OS apps pretty much all it takes is a manifest: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Apps/Manifest You'd also want to test it out on a mobile phone. > > -Stephanie > > On Friday, March 1, 2013 7:29:45 AM UTC-5, David Bruant wrote: >> Hi Stephanie, >> >> >> >> What do you want to build? >> >> I think the apps material is only the necessary bits that you need to >> >> know to understand how to have an "HTML5" application to run on >> >> FirefoxOS, but not how to build a FirefoxOS app. >> >> >> >> There are hundreds of resources to point you to (the vast majority of >> >> what applies to regular web development applies to app development), so >> >> understanding better what you want to build would help us help you :-) >> >> >> >> David >> >> >> >> Le 01/03/2013 13:17, Stephanie Ng a écrit : >> >>> Hi. >> >>> I'm a complete noob to web app development/ programming.
