Framework to create video games in HTML5 Canvas
Follow the steps below to start:
-
Download the code
canvasengine-X.Y.Z.all.min.js
on Github or this website -
Add this code in your page :
<!DOCTYPE html> <script src="canvasengine-X.Y.Z.all.min.js"></script> <canvas id="canvas_id" width="640" height="480"></canvas>
-
Initialize the canvas in your JS file :
var canvas = CE.defines("canvas_id").ready(function() { });
Method ready
is called when the canvas is ready (DOM loaded)
Development files allows you to improve or correct CanvasEngine. To do this, insert these two files:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<script src="core/engine-common.js"></script>
<script src="canvasengine.js"></script>
<canvas id="canvas_id" width="640" height="480"></canvas>
View other branches of CanvasEngine on Github, you'll other version under development
If you want to use features (Animation, Input, etc), add the appropriate files :
<script src="extends/Animation.js"></script>
If you develop or modify a feature, you can use the global variable Global_CE
to use other features.
Example :
// In extends/your_feacture.js
Global_CE.Input.press(Input.Enter, function() {
});
Your code contains classe(s) :
Class.create("My_Class", {
});
The developer can use this class in his game. You can also add code like this:
var My_Class = {
My_Class: {
New: function) {
return Class.New("My_Class");
}
}
};
it will use the namespace defined initially by the user :
var canvas = CE.defines("canvas_id").extend(My_Class).ready(function() {
canvas.Scene.call("MyScene");
});
canvas.Scene.new({
name: "MyScene",
ready: function(stage) {
var foo = canvas.My_Class.New();
}
});
Try to properly document the code for developer :
/**
@doc my_class
@class Definition of "My Class"
@example
...
*/
Class.create("My_Class", {
/**
@doc my_class/
@method foo ...
@param bar {String} ...
@example
...
*/
foo: function(bar) {
}
});
