Part 1: Building the Application

This first part of the book establishes the important foundations that will be leveraged in future chapters. Starting with a survey of Space-Truckers and Babylon.js, we will construct the main pillars of the game’s hosting application. Although a basic understanding of Babylon.js is recommended, the main requirement is to have some knowledge of JavaScript or a similar programming language.

This section comprises the following chapters:

Chapter 1, The Space-Truckers Operation Manual
Chapter 2, Ramping up on Babylon.js
Chapter 3, Establishing the Development Workflow
Chapter 4, Creating the Application
Chapter 5, Adding a Cut Scene and Handling Input
