After some time of "development" of the JavaScript game, I've came to a great idea, or so it seemed / sounded.
I was thinking of creating an entity which would represent lava. That lava would move in a specific direction, using:
function Lava(pos, ch) {
this.pos = pos;
this.size = new Vector(1, 1);
if(ch == '-') {
this.speed = new Vector(3, 0)
}
}
where is var acrotchar = {"-": Lava};.
The whole code can be seen here or below:
var LEVELS = [
[" x x",
" xx x",
" xxx x x",
" xx!xx x ox",
" x!!!x x xx",
" xx!xx x x",
" x xvx x x",
" x xx x",
" x x x",
" xx x x",
" x x xx",
" x x",
" x # xxxxx o x",
" xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
" x x ",
" x!!!!!x ",
" x!!!!!x ",
" xxxxxxx ",
"--------------------------------------"]
];

<h2>Simple JavaScript Game</h2>

What I would like to achieve is the following:
Lava (red colored blocks, in code presented as "-", tagged as "flood") that would:
move in a specific direction (is already done, more or less),
leaves "trace" behind it's movement, (technically speaking, the lava level in this case would seem as it is rising up),
"flood" is able to go through the objects (optional, as I have to check the whole code carefully on my own to see where did I give the entity the "collisions")
I would really appreciate any help, especially with the lava rising effect.
Everything did not fit in one post, so here is the rest:
To make the lava rise through the objects, just reverse the speed and remove the obstacleAt if statement. To make the lava appear like it is behind objects, just add a css class lava-flood and set the z-index to something like -1. If you want the lava to rise in front of the objects, just remove the z-index property from the lava-flood class in CSS.
Full code - lava rising behind objects

<h2>Simple JavaScript Game</h2>
<div id="life"></div>
<div id="expo"></div>
If you need clarification or help for anything, please feel free to ask.
Your game is quite well made, but I have a few suggestions:
Please, please don't use prototypes to add functions to Objects. It makes is very difficult for someone not familiar with the code to follow. A better way is to put all the member functions in the same object, so they are grouped together. It makes the code (in my opinion) way easier to read and understand.
For example:
function Flood(pos, ch){
this.pos = pos;
//other assignments
this.act = function(){
//code
}
//other functions
}
Keeping all your functions in one class also makes it easier to find a function rather than hunting through the whole file to find it.
Even though most of the game is already written, it might be worthwhile looking into the new ES6 class syntax, because this is the perfect example for inheritance and object oriented programming. You can have a generic GridElement class that implements the all standard behaviours, and extend and modify only the parts that differ from type to type. This approach is extremely powerful, and makes it very easy to add new types. I would highly recommend reading more on the theory of object oriented programming, because it is a very useful tool, especially in large projects. Daniel Shiffman is an awesome YouTuber, and makes amazing videos about programming. He has an entire series on Object Oriented programming on youtube, and I would suggest watching the video here.
Don't display the elements in the main display function. Instead, let each class have it's own display function that returns a div element. You can call each element's display function in the main display loop. That way, it becomes much easier to add additional behaviour to particular classes. If the Flood object had its own display function, then it could return a noncontinuous trail instead of modifying its size, which is not the ideal way to implement this behaviour.
I am unaware of any place on earth where there are floods of Lava, and so I would suggest that you use more accurate names in your code. When I see Flood, I immediately think of water, and it led to a bit of head scratching for me to figure out that Flood was in fact, rising lava. A better class name could have been LavaFlood, so I have taken the liberty of changing the name of the class Flood to LavaFlood in the code below.
As for the lava rising effect, it was quite simple. All I did was add a trueSize variable to the (Lava)Flood class and change the act function:
(I could not post this as normal code, as the site kept saying that the code was not formatted properly)
LavaFlood.prototype.act = function(step, level) {
var newPos = this.pos.plus(this.speed.times(step));
if (!level.obstacleAt(newPos, this.trueSize)) {
this.size = this.size.plus(this.speed.times(-step));
this.pos = newPos;
} else
this.speed = this.speed.times(-1);
};

If you need clarification or help for anything, please feel free to ask.
I'm trying to make a platforming game, and I've been working on the collision for the past 2 weeks. The collision detection is working, but the collision itself (as in, keeping the player out of the tile) is not, no matter what I try. I've tried looking up how to do this, but all I'm finding is how to do the detection part, which I already have done. What do I do after I detect collision?
It was written from scratch, and the player is rectangular, and so are the tiles.
Here's the basic code:
var Player = function(hue, x, y, xSize, ySize, health) {
this.hue = hue;
this.position = new PVector(x, y);

//this.ppp = new PVector(x, y);
//this.virtualPosition = new PVector(x, y);
//this.predictedPosition = new PVector(x, y);
this.velocity = new PVector(0, 0);

The code I made stops the player in its tracks completely when hitting the box, but you could create individual collision circumstances for when objects collide on each side of another object, and use those to detect collision.
I hope this helped! If you have any questions regarding this code, just ask! (To run code snippet you might want to go full screen and click inside canvas)
This is a question from javascript.
if (game.ship.livesPool.getPool[0].getDamaged())
I got an error on this getDamaged() function as undefined inside another function.
game = new Game();
game is defined outside this function as a global variable.
this.ship = new Ship();
ship is defined inside Game class.
this.livesPool = new Pool();
var pool = [];
this.getPool = function(){
return pool;
}
livesPool is defined inside Pool class. pool is an array defined in Pool class.
getPool function will return this array.
pool[i] = new Lives();
each of the pool[i] will be assigned Lives object in Pool class.
this.getDamaged = function(){
return this.damaged;
}
getDamaged() function is defined this way inside Lives class.
Why does it show me that this function is undefined?

getPool is a function, you need to call it:
if (game.ship.livesPool.getPool()[0].getDamaged())
