Game

Game is the object that controls the actual running of the game. You create a new one by passing in a GameConfig. Calling game.run() will start the game.

let config = {
   create: create, // A function you've defined
   update: update, // A function you've defined
}

let game = new Game(config)
game.run()

Methods

end

▸ end(): void

Calling end stops the game loop. You should call it when the game is finished. After you call it, the game is rendered one final time. Because of this, you often want to return just after you call game.end() to make sure any code after it is executed.

Returns: void

getDot

▸ getDot(x: number, y: number): Color

Returns the color of a dot.

Parameters:

Returns: Color

getFrameCount

▸ getFrameCount(): number

Returns the number of frames that have passed since the game started. The speed at which this increases is dependent on the frame rate. The higher the frame rate is, the faster this number will increment, and vice versa. You can set the frame rate with GameConfig.frameRate.

You can use this function to do things like increase difficulty as time goes on.

Returns: number

run

▸ run(): void

Calling run starts the game.

Returns: void

setDot

▸ setDot(x: number, y: number, val: Color): void

Sets the color of a dot.

Parameters:

Returns: void

setText

▸ setText(text: string): void

24a2 games have a line of text below the grid which can be set to show information to the player. This is commonly used to show instructions or the player’s score. Use this function to set that text.

Parameters:

Returns: void
