- Hi, this is David Isbitski and welcome to Building a Windows Store Game Using HTML and JavaScript. I'll show you how to get set up with Microsoft's free development tool Visual Studio 2012 Express. I'll create and debug a Windows store app, test against numerous screen sizes using the built in simulator, and show you how to deploy your app to the Windows store or locally for testing. I'll show you how to create a game I call Balloons by introducing Windows store development topics that will equip you with the skills you need to be successful. I'll show you how to implement a game loop in JavaScript, render our game using hardware Accelerated Canvas and include WinJS controls like the view box, application bar and fly out control.
So grab some coffee, pull up your gaming chair and let's have some fun.
