Asked By CodingExplorer92 On

I'm getting back into coding after taking classes in Java, but I'm really confused about how to start creating scripts in JavaScript. I want to make a simple tab where I can run games, like a meteor dodger game. Everything I read suggests opening things in a browser, but I'm not sure how to set that up. I'd prefer not to learn another language just to get started. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

To create your JavaScript tab, start by making an HTML file. You can load your JavaScript with the `` tag in the HTML. Once you have your HTML set up, just open that file in your browser and it should run your script! It might be a bit confusing at first, but this is the basic way to get started.

I think you may have mixed up Java and JavaScript a bit! They're really not the same thing. If you're familiar with Java, that will help you learn JavaScript, but you'll need to pick up some basics of JavaScript first. To start coding in it, write your JavaScript code in a separate file or within the `` tags of your HTML document. Then just load that HTML file in your browser to see it in action!

Okay, I think I may have confused Java and JavaScript together. Any chance you know how to use Java?

JavaScript is just a different language from Java! In your case, if you're looking to create a GUI (like a game), you'll mostly be running JavaScript in your browser. Are you referring to a 'tab' like a browser tab or something in your game? You usually write JavaScript code inside an HTML document, so you'll want to create that HTML first with your `` tags to link your JS file.
