Building "Memory Matching" Browser Games
Codeless Game Construction Student Workbook using Construct2 & Construct3 for MahJong, Hidden and "In Sequence" Memory Matching.
About the Book
Discover how to create three different versions of Memory Matching games using the methods in this single chapter from the "Construct Game Starter Kit Collection". When you finish this workbook, you will have a production pipeline to create as many different "Memory Matching" games as your imagination can dream up!
I would like to guide you in creating several versions of Memory Matching with "open Pairs", "Hidden Pairs", and "In Sequence" game mechanics. We will use these game mechanics, display mechanisms and those development methods. By the end of this large student workbook, you should have several fully functional Memory Matching games - not just a copy of my game, but your very own product using your own gaming assets. There is a supporting website where you can download the bonus content included with your workbook's purchase. Instructor Workshop edition also available.
You'll also get bonus content, download examples, and source code references on how to do every single thing in this game design workbook, so you can copy and paste any example into your own production pipelines and then modify those resources for your own purposes. General Game Licenses are included in this purchased book if you wish to simply copy and publish my edition versions.
This extraordinarily comprehensive guide will teach you how to:
- Use Construct - either v2 and v3.
- How to integrate "Memory Matching" game mechanics into other game genres such as "musical ear-training, MahJong, and Fantasy RPG magic!
- Use your game in a "Content Management System", a "Progressive Web Application" or a "Single Page Web Application" on any device.
- Analyze current International business demands for this type of game's genre, how, and where to deploy it.
- Automatically generate various game editions from this core game mechanics.
