I am trying to make a 'bullet' from the var weapon shoot in a certain direction, this bullet is actually a pokemon ball as I am just making a practice game. I cannot seem to make the 'bullet' go in the direction that I would like it to, I entered: weapon.body.velocity.x = -100; under the the: if (cursors.left.isDown) but this did not work, when I pressed any key the screen would just freeze. Please help me make the 'bullet' go in the direction I want. var items; var game; var player; var weapon; var cursors; var fireButton; function addItems() { items = game.add.physicsGroup(); createItem(100, 400, 'coin'); } function createItem(left, top, image) { var item = items.create(left, top, image); item.animations.add('spin'); item.animations.play('spin', 10, true); } function itemHandler(player, item) { item.kill(); } window.onload = function () { game = new Phaser.Game(800, 600, Phaser.CANVAS, 'phaser-example', { preload: preload, create: create, update: update, render: render }); function preload() { game.stage.backgroundColor = ('#424242'); game.load.spritesheet('coin', 'coin.png', 36, 44); game.load.spritesheet('player', 'hero.png', 64, 64); game.load.spritesheet('bullet', 'Pokeball.png'); } function create() { player = this.game.add.sprite(100, 200, 'player'); // ANIMATION FOR PLAYER CONTROLS down = player.animations.add('down', [0,1,2,3], 10, true); left = player.animations.add('left', [4,5,6,7], 10, true); right = player.animations.add('right', [8,9,10,11], 10, true); up = player.animations.add('up', [12,13,14,15], 10, true); // enable physics in the game (can't go through walls, gravity, etc.) game.physics.enable(player, weapon, Phaser.Physics.ARCADE); game.physics.startSystem(Phaser.Physics.P2JS); game.physics.startSystem(Phaser.Physics.ARCADE); game.physics.p2.enable(player, weapon); player.body.setSize(30, 45, 16, 12); player.body.immovable = false; // enable keyboard arrows for controls cursors = game.input.keyboard.createCursorKeys(); // camera will follow the character game.camera.follow(player); addItems(); // Creates 1 single bullet, using the 'bullet' graphic weapon = game.add.weapon(1, 'bullet'); // The bullet will be automatically killed when it leaves the world bounds weapon.bulletKillType = Phaser.Weapon.KILL_WORLD_BOUNDS; // Because our bullet is drawn facing up, we need to offset its rotation: weapon.bulletAngleOffset = 90; // The speed at which the bullet is fired weapon.bulletSpeed = 400; game.physics.arcade.enable(player); // Tell the Weapon to track the 'player' Sprite, offset by 14px horizontally, 0 vertically weapon.trackSprite(player, 30, 0, true); cursors = this.input.keyboard.createCursorKeys(); fireButton = this.input.keyboard.addKey(Phaser.KeyCode.SPACEBAR); } function update() { game.physics.arcade.overlap(player, items, itemHandler); // PLAYER CONTROLS player.body.velocity.set(0); // player presses left key if (cursors.left.isDown) { player.body.velocity.x = -100; player.play('left'); } // player presses right key else if (cursors.right.isDown) { player.body.velocity.x = 100; player.play('right'); } // player presses up key else if (cursors.up.isDown) { player.body.velocity.y = -100; player.play('up'); } // player presses down key else if (cursors.down.isDown) { player.body.velocity.y = 100; player.play('down'); } // player does not press anything else { player.animations.stop(); } if (fireButton.isDown) { weapon.fire(); } } function render() { weapon.debug(); } }

Hi, new to the forums, as well as new to coding. Started learning about a month ago. I need help with my javascript code, I want to be able to use the arrow keys to move my character up, right, down, left, but I cannot figure out how to, I watched a video from Treehouse learning how to do this, and then I decided I would also make a separate one for myself so I copied some of the code, but It will not animate or move the sprite sheet. The character just sits in the middle of the page even though I thought that I coded him correctly to move. He also doesn't even animate, it's completely still. I did however notice that when I made my background larger, that the screen would move, but I want the character to move over the screen, not move with the screen. Please help. game.js index.html

Where does phaser parse the XML document that contain the text location for the bitmap font sprite-sheet image? Where does it use this information to render the sprite font to the screen from the image? I tried to follow it, and as far as I can tell it use a native implantation to parse the XML URL or XML string, than it store it. Where does it retrieve this parse XML document and than extract the data needed to locate the correct text sprite from the image, than render it to the screen aka canvas? I might edit this later...
