Variables between scenes?

[Ninjadoodle]

Hi guys

 

Could somebody please let me know the correct way of setting a variable to use between scenes?

 

Let's say I have ...

game.createScene('Stage01', {    init: function() {        score = 1234;

 

 ... then I goto Stage02

 

game.createScene('Stage02', {init: function() {        var stage2score = 0;        stage2score = score + stage2score;

 

Is this the correct way of going about it?

 

I always hear that using globals is bad

 

Thanks heaps for any help!

just put the variable inside game, like game.score

Hi enpu

 

Thanks for the help!

 

Just for my understanding, what is the difference between using ...

 

score = 1234;

 

vs

 

game.score = 1234;

[enpu]

score = 1234 puts the variable into the global namespace (window.score), while game.score puts it inside game object (window.game.score).

Cool! Thank you for letting me know

No problem! And just make sure you don't overwrite any Panda classes or Core methods/properties:

I usually put global variable inside game.config but I'm not sure if it is good practice.

That is good, even safer than using just game.

Hi @hamdirizal or @enpu

 

Could you guys please show me how you set your variable in the config file and how to access it inside your game?

 

I would really appreciate it

 

Thank you!

[enpu]

pandaConfig = {    score: 0};

That is same as game.config.score
