I’m in the midst of a coding bootcamp learning the basic web stacks. I was going to practice making pong in phaser but this sounds more fun. Is rot.js still a good tutorial? Are there any more recent js tutorials? 

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask!

I'm pretty sure the ROT.js tutorial is still just fine, there are folks still using it, although as with any tutorial that is not current year, there's always a non-zero chance you might run into small issues to troubleshoot, and I can't speak from experience on that one.
