How to handle multiple game modes/difficulty?

[Gods]

I am planning a game which will have game modes normal, medium and hard. I plan to change speed and time and maybe some more variables. What is the best way to do this in Phaser? any code examples avaliable with games with multiple modes/difficulty?

 

I thought of some ways

have multiple gamestates easyGame, mediumGame, hardGame and copy the main gamestate files in each one and change the speed and time variables individually.

 

or

 

Have 1 gamestate and have if statements

var gameMode;

 

if (gameMode=== easy) {

var speed =1, time =15;

} else if(gameMode===medium){

var speed =2, time =10;

}else{

var speed =3, time =5;

}

 

I don't know how I would set the game mode to easy/medium/hard tho

 

here is my setup http://pastebin.com/PKbs6NTi

GameMode.EASY = {speed: 1, time: 15};

GameMode.HARD = {speed: 2, time: 5};

// ......................

var mode = 'EASY'; // or 'HARD'

var speed = GameMode[mode].speed;

var time = GameMode[mode].time;

[Gods]

GameMode.EASY = {speed: 1, time: 15};GameMode.HARD = {speed: 2, time: 5};// ......................var mode = 'EASY'; // or 'HARD'var speed = GameMode[mode].speed;var time = GameMode[mode].time;

How would that work in my setup?
