Thanks for writing this up, PG, Super helpful as always. I noticed two things as I was following along. First off, you wrote that the scene files should look like this in their directories:

C:\PhaserTutorial\htdocs\js\InitScene.js
C:\PhaserTutorial\htdocs\js\PreloaderScene.js
C:\PhaserTutorial\htdocs\js\GameScene.js

But if I'm following along correctly (which I believe I am) , they should actually be:

C:\PhaserTutorial\htdocs\js\scenes\InitScene.js
C:\PhaserTutorial\htdocs\js\scenes\PreloaderScene.js
C:\PhaserTutorial\htdocs\js\scenes\GameScene.js

So it looks like you just left out the scenes folder there.

The other thing is that for a while I couldn't get past the black screen even after setting up the InitScene, PreloaderScene, and GameScene scripts. Finally on a whim I added script src="js/main.js" after the phaser script src in the body of the index file and that got everything rolling. I'm not sure if you actually did say to do this in your post or if I just totally overlooked it, but yeah, that was a little hang up I had.

I'm an idiot, didn't realise you needed to highlight the host code to make it work

I "kinda" fixed it, but for some reason not only does it show black boxes where the Newgrounds logo and play button are supposed to be, the one I built doesn't want to play at all. Is there something I'm missing this time?
