TS errors on VS Code: Cannot find namespace 'Phaser'.ts(2503)

See original GitHub issue

I’ve just bought the book and tried going through chapter 3, but ran into issues with types not being found almost immediately in phaser-engine.class.ts. I’ve also tried checking out the chapter/3 branch directly and still encounter the same issue.

There are also some type conflicts in the index.d.ts file under globals/phaser.

This is also the checkout state of chapter 3 when running npm run start:dev

It’s in the @types dir of a dependency, though, so it may not be a major problem. Here’s the full output:
