I’ve been using python for quite a while now but want to transition over to using JS and phaser 3. I’ve had ideas of games I’d like to make and I thought it’d be fun to try recreate Bomberman. Are there any tutorials that could help me in doing this?

There aren’t any straight bomberman tutorials. I learned by following the first basic tutorial (the platformer with phaser dude) and taking notes and trying to understand everything about how the code worked. Then I just googled the issues I was having, or googled what I wanted to do.

One incredible resource is the [Phaser examples](https://phaser.io/examples). There are so many good ones that I’m sure you can find something similar to your use case.
