I'm creating a small 2d-minecraft clone, in Phaser js, on my own as a learning experience. So far I have gotten player movement and random level seeds to work ok.
I am using Phasers P2JS engine and have sprites that are box based. What I'm struggling with now Is I want the player to be able to walk unhindered up small elevations, (1-tile high) but I don't have any good idea of how I should Implement this.
I have tried changing the bounding box of the player so that it had a slope at the bottom but this gets me in to a bunch of trouble with wall climbing. I want a way to do this where it gets as seamless as possible. Preferably the player speed is not altered much by climbing the steps.
I am concidering writing some kind of collision detection function to handle this but I am uncertain if this is the best way to do it.
Thanks for your help.
Below is my code and an image that shows the kind of step I want to beable to walk up. Its the first elevation to the left in the image.

var destiny = {};

===================== Edit =====================
I have now tried creating slopes of the edge pieces when generating the world. But I realized that this makes me have to regenerate the world when I later add the feature for hacking away blocks. Thus this is not the solution. I think I will need to do some collision detection and move the player up when I hit an edge. But I'm not quite sure how to do this in phaser. Any help is still appreciated.
!!! Here is an image of what not to do !!!
Emanuele Feronato has a post on replicating the game Magick in Phaser.
There he covers the case of a block colliding with a barrier/wall, with the ability of the block to climb one level up.
You can check the tutorial, but what he appears to be doing is checking to see if the diagonal tile is empty (in other words, is it just a 'step' up), and if it is, running a 'jump' function, which looks more like a climb.
Depending upon how you want your character to step, you could potentially look at both the next tile (on the x-axis) as well as the one after it to check for the height.
So for example, if moving right and the next tile is flat, but the second tile has a step, you might start moving your character up on the y-axis.

I'm coding a simple game in p5js with the play library in which a person wins after collecting all the "sprinkles". But I can't figure out how to show an image when all the sprinkles are collected. Can someone please help me out? I put the code parts in which the "sprinkles" and collect things happen because the total code is quite long.
function setup(){
sprinkles = new Group();
for(var i = 0; i <25; i++) {
var ang = random(360);
var px = SCENE_W/2 + 1000*cos(radians(ang));
var py = SCENE_H/2 + 1000*sin(radians(ang));
createSprinkles(2, px, py);
}
}
function draw(){
for(var j=0; j<sprinkles.length; j++) {
var s = sprinkles[j];
if(s.position.x<-MARGIN) s.position.x = SCENE_W+MARGIN;
if(s.position.x>SCENE_W+MARGIN) s.position.x = -MARGIN;
if(s.position.y<-MARGIN) s.position.y = SCENE_H+MARGIN;
if(s.position.y>SCENE_H+MARGIN) s.position.y = -MARGIN;
}
mouse.overlap(sprinkles, collect);
}
function createSprinkles(type, x, y){
var a = createSprite(x, y);
var img = loadImage('assets/sprinkles/sprinkle'+floor(random(0,5))+'.png');
a.addImage(img);
a.setSpeed(2.5-(type/2), random(360));
a.rotationSpeed = 0.5;
sprinkles.add(a);
}
function collect(collector, collected) {
collector.changeAnimation('stretch');
collector.animation.rewind();
collected.remove();
}
I've found it! I made a really dumb mistake... the dumbest one ever because I'm too tired. yay.
So if anyone is wondering about the same thing:
if(sprinkles.length<1){
background(255,200,0);
}
Here I tried a simple thing with the background colour to see if it works. Just add this code in the function draw(){} part and you're done!
I'm trying to create a top down shooter game and I am using Tiled to create my map. I've made my map and exported it as a .json file. I was finally able to make the map appear in my game, but I am having a hard time making the collision work.
I've been going through tutorials for hours and seem to have tried everything under the sun with no luck. I have an object layer in Tiled with the walls marked with the insert rectangle tool. I have every wall tile also marked with insert rectangle in the edit tileset menu. But I still cant get it to work. Walls are Tile Layer 1, ground is Tile Layer 2, object layer is called collision and the tile set name is tiles 48x48. Here's all my relevant code:
var game = new Phaser.Game(1440, 960, Phaser.man, 'phaser-example', { preload: preload, create: create, update: update, render: render });
var sprite
//sounds
var music
//movement
var controls
var cursors
//shooting
var fireRate = 200;
var nextFire = 0;
var Bullets
//map
var map
var walls
var ground
//var collision
function preload() {
game.load.audio('groove', ['sewer groove.mp3']);
game.load.audio('gunshot', 'pistol.mp3');
game.load.image('player', 'player lite.png');
game.load.image('bullet', 'bullet.png');
game.load.tilemap('map', 'sewermap.json', null, Phaser.Tilemap.TILED_JSON);
game.load.image('tiles 48x48','tiles 48x48.png')
}
function create() {
map = game.add.tilemap('map');
map.addTilesetImage('tiles 48x48');
//var tileset = map.addTilesetImage('map','tiles 48x48');
//map.physics.arcade.enable(sprite, Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);
ground = map.createLayer('Tile Layer 2');
walls = map.createLayer('Tile Layer 1');
//collision = map.createLayer('Object Layer 1')
map.setCollisionBetween(0, 65, true, 'Tile Layer 1');
//sprite.body.collideWorldbounds = true;
//layer.resizeWorld();
music = game.add.audio('groove',1,true);
music.play();
game.physics.startSystem(Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);
//game.physics.startSystem(Phaser.Physics.P2JS)
game.stage.backgroundColor = '#313131';
bullets = game.add.group();
bullets.enableBody = true;
bullets.physicsBodyType = Phaser.Physics.ARCADE;
bullets.createMultiple(50, 'bullet');
bullets.setAll('checkWorldBounds', true);
bullets.setAll('outOfBoundsKill', true);
sprite = game.add.sprite(620, 920, 'player');
sprite.anchor.set(0.5, 0.5);
//game.physics.p2.enable(sprite)
game.physics.arcade.enable(sprite, Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);
sprite.body.allowRotation = true;
cursors = game.input.keyboard.createCursorKeys();
}
function update() {
game.physics.arcade.collider(sprite, walls);
//console.log(sprite.rotation);
sprite.rotation = game.physics.arcade.angleToPointer(sprite);
if (game.input.activePointer.isDown)
{
fire();
}
//sprite.body.setZeroVelocity();
if (game.input.keyboard.isDown(Phaser.Keyboard.LEFT))
{
sprite.x -= 4;
}
else if (game.input.keyboard.isDown(Phaser.Keyboard.RIGHT))
{
sprite.x += 4;
}
if (game.input.keyboard.isDown(Phaser.Keyboard.UP))
{
sprite.y -= 4;
}
else if (game.input.keyboard.isDown(Phaser.Keyboard.DOWN))
{
sprite.y += 4;
}
}
function fire() {
if (game.time.now > nextFire && bullets.countDead() > 0)
{
nextFire = game.time.now + fireRate;
var bullet = bullets.getFirstDead();
bullet.reset(sprite.x - 8, sprite.y - 8);
game.physics.arcade.moveToPointer(bullet, 300);
}
}
function render() {
game.debug.text('Active Bullets: ' + bullets.countLiving() + ' / ' + bullets.total, 32, 32);
game.debug.spriteInfo(sprite, 32, 450);
//game.debug.spriteBounds(sprite);
//game.debug.spriteBounds(bullets);
//game.debug.body(sprite);
}
Alright, I've had the chance to take a look at this, the issue should solely lie in how you're moving the main player:
sprite.x -= 4;
Collisions only fire if the body has a velocity, the following table by samme should sum it up
You can apply acceleration, for the sake of example, to move the character towards the direction you're pointing at:
if (game.input.keyboard.isDown(Phaser.Keyboard.UP) || game.input.keyboard.isDown(Phaser.Keyboard.W)) {
game.physics.arcade.accelerationFromRotation(sprite.rotation, 200, sprite.body.acceleration);
}
In the image I'm also applying a certain drag and reducing acceleration when nothing is pressed but that's your call:
sprite.body.drag.x = 200;
sprite.body.drag.y = 200;
If you wanted to strafe an idea could be at dealing with multiple presses and applying a different accelerationFromRotation accordingly (with a variety of degrees converted with Phaser.Math.degToRad)
For debug's sake, if needed, you might want to use some of the following:
[...]
walls = map.createLayer("Tile Layer 1");
walls.debug = true;
[...]
function collisionHandler(obj1, obj2) {
console.log("Colliding!", obj1, obj2)
}
game.physics.arcade.collide(sprite, walls, collisionHandler, null, this);
game.debug.body(sprite);
I writing a code that take a Black & White image and check the pixels in an specific area (with an square shape) and finally retur the sum of how many of them are balck, each pixel of the area is read in a For loop like the next example:
function is_box_black_corner(x,y,width,heigth){
var counter=0;
for (var i=x; i<(x+width); i++){
for (var j=y; j<(y+heigth); j++){
if(my_isblack(i,j)==1){
counter++;
}
}
}
And as you can see inside the for loop a I call a function that verifies if the specific pixel is fairly black:
function my_isblack(x,y){
var p = ctx.getImageData(x, y, 1, 1).data;
if(p[0]<50 && p[1]<50 && p[2]<50){
return 1;
}
else{
return 0;
}
}
As you can imagine, this is a little bit computational expensive. but the problem is that with my computer, suddenly it got much slower than others (even with worst processors). I already check the RAM memory and the processor and none of them were used more than 30%, and the processor before running the code is close to 0%.
And don’t know where else to look. I appreciate some help, also if somebody knows how to do this much faster it will be highly apreciated
I will try wiht one call to getImageData as suggested by #ASDFGerte:
var x=10; var y=10; var width=50; var height=50;
var counter=0;
var image;
var p; //global data
function init(){
var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
ctx.fillStyle = "black";
ctx.fillRect(10, 10, 50, 50); //this is just a black square
image = ctx.getImageData(x, y, width, height); //Load the image
p = image.data; //get the data of the image
is_box_black_corner();
};
function is_box_black_corner(){
for (var i=x; i<(x+width); i++){
for (var j=y; j<(y+height); j++){
if(my_isblack(i,j)==1){
counter++;
}
}
}
console.log(counter);
};
function my_isblack(x,y){
if(p[0]<50 && p[1]<50 && p[2]<50){ //check the global data
return 1;
}
else{
return 0;
}
};
I am writing an HTML5 game using the engine Phaser, in which I am implementing what are essentially live backgrounds, backgrounds that respond to the movements of the game objects. The first I am working with is a water ripple effect that uses area sampling on the bitmapData object. I thought I had a performance issue in my code, but it turns out that Firefox runs it like a dream. Chrome runs a little slower to begin with and slows to less than 10 FPS when my game objects go too close to the top or bottom of the screen. (I am at a loss for why that makes a difference.)
This thread suggests that Chrome has poor image processing performance and suggests to break large image data up into smaller pieces. I don't know if this is possible in my case, because this is not simply an image displaying on the screen but an effect based on pixels next to each other that refreshes each frame. Even if it is possible, I think Chrome would end up having to do the same amount of work or more to get the four individual bitmaps to interact with each other as if they were one.
I've been doing performance tests in Chrome for a few hours, and the issue is definitely that it is getting caught up on the method that actually creates the effect by reading pixels from a source imageData and writing them to another location in a target imageData (the ws.displace(x,y) method below).
function waterStage(canvas) {
var ws = new Object();
ws.dampFactor = 16;
ws.magFactor = 150;
ws.dispFactor = 0.5;
ws.lumFactor = 1;
ws.width = canvas.width;
ws.height = canvas.height;
// Initialize height data caches
ws.pMaps = [];
var map1 = new Array(ws.width+2);
var map2 = new Array(ws.width+2);
for (x=0; x < map1.length; x++) {
map1[x] = new Array(ws.height+2);
map2[x] = new Array(ws.height+2);
}
for (x=0; x < map1.length; x++) {
for (y=0; y < map1[x].length; y++) {
map1[x][y] = 0;
map2[x][y] = 0;
}
}
ws.pMaps.push(map1, map2);
ws.stageInit = function(canvas) {
canvas.fill(100,100,100);
canvas.ctx.strokeStyle = "#000000";
canvas.ctx.lineWidth = 2;
canvas.ctx.moveTo(0,0);
for (y=0; y < ws.height; y+=10) {
canvas.ctx.beginPath();
canvas.ctx.moveTo(0,y);
canvas.ctx.lineTo(ws.width,y);
canvas.ctx.closePath();
canvas.ctx.stroke();
}
ws.sourceData = canvas.ctx.getImageData(0, 0, ws.width, ws.height);
ws.targetData = canvas.ctx.getImageData(0, 0, ws.width, ws.height);
}
ws.setWave = function(pnt) {
ws.pMaps[0][pnt.x-1][pnt.y-1] = ws.magFactor//*pnt.magnitude;
}
ws.resolveWaves = function(x,y) {
// Calculate the net result of the wave heights
ws.pMaps[1][x][y] = ((ws.pMaps[0][x-1][y]+ws.pMaps[0][x+1][y]+ws.pMaps[0][x][y-1]+ws.pMaps[0][x][y+1]) / 2)
-ws.pMaps[1][x][y];
ws.pMaps[1][x][y] -= (ws.pMaps[1][x][y]/ws.dampFactor);
}
ws.displace = function(x,y) {
var displace = Math.floor(ws.pMaps[1][x][y]*ws.dispFactor);
var xCorrect = x-1, yCorrect = y-1;
var targetIndex = (xCorrect + yCorrect * ws.width)*4;
if (displace == 0) {
ws.targetData.data[targetIndex] = ws.sourceData.data[targetIndex];
ws.targetData.data[targetIndex+1] = ws.sourceData.data[targetIndex+1];
ws.targetData.data[targetIndex+2] = ws.sourceData.data[targetIndex+2];
}
else {
if (displace < 0) {
displace += 1;
}
var sourceX = displace+xCorrect;
var sourceY = displace+yCorrect;
var sourceIndex = (sourceX + sourceY * ws.width)*4;
//var lum = ws.pMaps[1][x][y]*ws.lumFactor;
ws.targetData.data[targetIndex] = ws.sourceData.data[sourceIndex];//+lum;
ws.targetData.data[targetIndex+1] = ws.sourceData.data[sourceIndex+1];//+lum;
ws.targetData.data[targetIndex+2] = ws.sourceData.data[sourceIndex+2];//+lum;
}
}
ws.stageRefresh = function(moves, canvas) {
canvas.clear();
for (j=0; j < moves.length; j++) {
ws.setWave(moves[j]);
}
for (x=1; x <= ws.width; x++) {
if (ws.pMaps[1][x][0] != 0 || ws.pMaps[0][x][0] != 0) {
alert("TOP ROW ANOMALY");
}
for (y=1; y <= ws.height; y++) {
ws.resolveWaves(x,y);
ws.displace(x,y);
}
}
ws.pMaps.sort(function(a,b) { return 1 });
//ws.pMaps[0] = ws.pMaps[1];
//ws.pMaps[1] = temp;
canvas.ctx.putImageData(ws.targetData, 0, 0);
}
return ws;
}
canvas is the bitmapData that is given as the texture for the background (not an HTML5 canvas; sorry if that's confusing). ws.stageRefresh(moves,canvas) is called on every frame update.
Before I try to make the split-into-four-bitmaps solution work, does anyone have any guidance for other ways to improve the performance of this effect on Chrome?
First time poster here but definitely not a first time reader.
My question is aimed directly at this portion of code I have. I am currently learning how HTML 5 canvases work and am designing my own RPG style game for a University project. After looking around I found some good tutorials on this guys blog, I have followed his code and triple checked it but images are now showing up.
I tried putting an alert() before and after when the image is called to the canvas under drawMap(). It works before the image is drawn but not after, leading me to believe it is something to do with my image rendering. Can someone double check my code and see what is going on? It's driving me insane!
<canvas id="game-viewport" width="760" height="440"></canvas>
<script>
window.onload = init;
var map = Array([0,0],[0,0],[0,0],[0,0]);
var tileSize = 40;
tileTypes = Array("grass.png");
tileImage = new Array();
var loaded = 0;
var loadTimer;
function loadImage(){
for(i = 0; i < tileTypes.length; i++){
tileImage[i] = new Image();
tileImage[i].src = "./game/lib/icons/own_icons/" + tileTypes[i];
tileImage[i].onload = function(){
loaded++;
}
}
}
function loadAll(){
if(loaded == tileTypes.length){
clearInterval(loadTimer);
drawMap();
}
}
function drawMap(){
var mapX = 80;
var mapY = 10;
for(i = 0; i < map.length; i++){
for(j = 0; j < map[i].length; j++){
var drawTile = map[i][j];
var xPos = (i - j) * tileSize;
var yPos = (i + j) * tileSize;
ctx.drawImage(tileImage[drawTile], xPos, yPos);
}
}
}
function init(){
var canvas = document.getElementById('game-viewport')
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
loadImage();
loadTimer = setInterval(loadAll, 100);
}
</script>
The only problem is that ctx is not defined in your drawMap function.
Either pass ctx in to the function as an argument or make it a global variable.
I was lazy and did the second, but you should really do the first. Working code:
http://jsfiddle.net/YUddC/
You really should have the Chrome debugger (or whatever browser you use) on 100% of the time you're developing.. If you did, you'd see an error saying that ctx is not defined in drawMap. If you're using Chrome and press F12 to open developer tools and go to the scripts tab, you'd see this:
Which makes the problem pretty clear!
