So I decided I wanted to learn programming and I did some basic classes for html5, CSS, and javascript but I think using a game engine (example: phaser) would be the right step the problem is that I dont know which one would be good for a programming noob like me so I would gladly accept any suggestions. Thanks
Not exactly HTML5, but it does Webgl.
Unity. It allows you to code in Javascript, although I suggest using C# as it's easy to pick up with their code hints.
I thought nobody was even going to notice this post so I'm really thankful that you gave me some tips.
I'm going to check out c# since I heard a lot of people say it's pretty good thanks.

Game Maker Studio is also a good one to try!

Yeah, they've said good things about it but I forgot to tell that I wanted something free or gamemaker is free?. But thanks, I will check it out later.
Unreal Engine 4 can publish to HTML5 and it's free up to $3,000.00 in revenue, after which there is a 5% royalty, so if you don't charge for the game you don't pay anything and even if you do and don't make much you still won't pay anything.
The Unity Engine also has a free version which can also publish to HTML5.

Thanks for the reply!
I heard really good things for unity, it's definetly one of the engines I'll check out.
LibGDX will also spit out a html5 game and it's free though it uses Java

Thanks but i that a library or an engine?
I want to start with an engine because I hear they're easier to learn
I guess it can go either way but probably be called a framework. Yeah it's kind of low level stuff so if you're wanting to write less code I would probably pick something else.
There's a handy little wiki on the site with a nice list of engines and frameworks: https://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/creator-resources/game-dev-resources

I've used all these engines though usually I go back to my own engine or writing things from scratch.
I recommend Unity over Unreal but I haven't used the LATEST Unreal and I hear more about it lately so it may have improved.
I DEFINITELY recommend learning C# well as it's a beautiful language. Years of using C++ and ignoring Java and Python and C# really kept me apart from some amazing experiencii.
And I can't recommend Construct enough. It's fantastic for beginners.
∀x (∃e (e ∈ x ∧ ∀x ¬(x ∈ e)) ∨ ∃y ¬∃e (e ∈ x ∧ ¬∃z (z ∈ y ∧ z ∈ e ∧ ∀x ¬((x ∈ y ∧ x ∈ e) ∧ ¬(x = z)))))
Last time I checked Unreal's webgl games only work in 64bit browsers.
Unity has a lot of tutorials, significantly more than any JS frameworks like Phaser or Pixi.
Unity is pretty awesome... You can use Javascript or C#

Thanks for replying. Over the last days I found out about another engine called Godot, which has been pretty good for a beginner like me, I'm considering switching to Unity once I become more skilled.
Version 3.0 of Godot will include support for C# so it will be a Nice warm up for unity

Of course. I will start to learn C# soon since I heard it's more usefull than javascript, thanks for recomendación.

I thought I'd replied to this already but I guess not.
Godot is great. It wasn't my cup of tea when it first launched but it's improved so much and version 3D games are no longer an afterthought. It is a little more difficult to learn than Construct but it's worth it as you have more control and can do more.

Yeah it's a little harder than I first thought but I think I'll be fine as long as I keep practicing.
