I'm proficient in HTML/CSS and Javascript, and I've seen some pretty great yet simple games built with HTML5 and jQuery (I assume), but I cannot figure out where to get started. I get there are many different engines, but what even is an engine. Do I need one, or do I just need to learn to use HTML and jQuery creatively? Either way, where is a good source for beginner level tutorials?
Thank you!
I will have to agree with Max00355, just start.
http://gamedev.tutsplus.com/ is a good resource imho.
