Code Tetris: JavaScript Tutorial for Beginners
Learn the basics of JavaScript by coding a Tetris game from scratch.
This is a great course for people who have never touched code before or people who want to review the fundamentals.
In this course, you will learn how to set up a project from scratch using the Atom code editor and your command prompt tool, as well as gain a fundamental understanding of JavaScript by building your very own version of Tetris.
