A sample HTML5 mobile game demonstrating core game development concepts from the book 'Mobile HTML5 Game Development'.
Alien Invasion is a sample HTML5 game created as a companion to the book 'Mobile HTML5 Game Development'. It demonstrates fundamental game development concepts through a complete, playable space shooter game optimized for mobile browsers. The project serves as both a working example and educational resource for developers learning HTML5 game programming.
Beginner to intermediate developers learning HTML5 game development, particularly those following the 'Mobile HTML5 Game Development' book or seeking practical examples of mobile game implementation.
Provides a complete, documented game example that directly corresponds to book tutorials, offering hands-on learning with real code rather than abstract concepts. The dual licensing (GPL/MIT) allows maximum flexibility for educational and modification purposes.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Code directly aligns with the 'Mobile HTML5 Game Development' book chapters, providing a practical, hands-on reference for learners following the tutorials.
Offers a fully playable space shooter with core mechanics like movement and shooting, demonstrating a real HTML5 game from start to finish.
Optimized for mobile browsers with touch controls, as highlighted in the README's mobile bit.ly link and book focus.
Dual licensed under GPL and MIT, allowing wide reuse, modification, and distribution for educational or personal projects.
The repository is intentionally kept unchanged to match the book, so it lacks updates, bug fixes, or adaptations to newer HTML5 standards.
Covers only the first three chapters of the book, resulting in a simple game without advanced features like levels, power-ups, or sound management.
Beyond the book, the README offers little guidance, assuming users have the book or prior knowledge, which can hinder independent learning.
