Hey fellow devs! I've been wanting to dip my toes into creating HTML5 games, and one thing that's been holding me back is animation. Specifically, how to achieve those sick pixel perfect animations we see in some mobile games. Got any tips or resources to share on how to get started?

"Hey guys, just a heads up that I found this amazing online course on Udemy that covers everything from the basics of game dev to advanced animation techniques. Been going through it and it's super informative, worth checking out if you're new to the field. Has anyone else tried it?"

"Hey guys, I just wanted to chime in and say that Pixi.js is an awesome library for creating pixel perfect animations in HTML5. I've used it for a project and it's super easy to work with, plus it has some great documentation to get you started. Has anyone else used it for game dev?"

"Dude, just wanna add - if you're new to game dev, I'd recommend checking out some tutorials on CodePen or MDN first. They have some killer resources on CSS animations, which is basically what we're talking about when it comes to pixel perfect animations. Once you get a feel for that, you can start diving into Unity or Unreal Engine for some more advanced stuff"

"Nice thread, guys! For pixel perfect animations, I've found Phaser.io to be a great starting point, especially since it integrates well with HTML5. Has anyone else used it for their projecs?"

"Hey guys, I've been working on a small project and I think I found a solid framework for pixel perfect animations in Phaser.io. It's got a steep learning curve, but the payoff is worth it. Anyone else used Phaser for their HTML5 project?"

"Hey guys, I've been experimenting with Pixel Art Studio and Phaser.io. Their docs were pretty easy to follow, even for a noob like me. Has anyone had any luck with creating pixel perfect animations using Pixi.js?"
