I am really exited about the launch of windows 8, windows phone 8 so I decided to start learning how to develop games for them. I was even more exited when I found out that html, css, javascript can be used to develop apps for these platforms. I'm familiar with some standard html, css3 that i used to develop some websites, but I only know some VERY basics of javascript. I know things like HTML5 canvas and image sprites can be used to develop games, but I haven't found any tutorials that I understood good enough ;/ So I am asking you now. Can you suggest any good tutorials/resources (preferably video) that start from beginners level and go to advanced into game development with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. It would be really good if such tutorials concentrated on game development for mobile phones (e.g. detecting when user touches the screen, using optimised images for hi res and standard displays, adopting to screen size etc) Oh.. and I forgot to mention that I am only interested in 2d game development.

Hi Ilya, it seems you missed the FAQ of GDSE: gamedev.stackexchange.com/faq This question is both off-topic (how to start making a game), and doesn't have a definite answer (you just ask for resources, and answerers will never run out of them). – Markus von Broady Nov 2 '12 at 12:32

I'd suggest looking at buildnewgames.com for tutorials.

I would also investigate game engines like Playcraft (playcraftlabs.com) and Impact (impactjs.com)
