I know what the hearts mean

(Either I'm the first to notice this or everyone thinks it's so obvious they didn't bother to write a forum post about it  )

 

When I run my game, I see two red hearts and a gray one next to "Phaser vX.X.X ...". I thought it was just decoration but I noticed in screenshots from other people that sometimes there are three red hearts. So I inspected the piece of code responsible for the output of that line which, with 'pretty print' enabled, reads: 

var a = b.VERSION, c = "Canvas", d = "HTML Audio", e = 1;if (this.renderType === b.WEBGL ? (c = "WebGL", e++) : this.renderType == b.HEADLESS && (c = "Headless"), this.device.webAudio && (d = "WebAudio", e++), this.device.chrome) {                for (var f = ["%c %c %c Phaser v" + a + " - " + c + " - " + d + "  %c %c  http://phaser.io  %c %c ♥%c♥%c♥ ", "background: #0cf300", "background: #00bc17", "color: #ffffff; background: #00711f;", "background: #00bc17", "background: #0cf300", "background: #00bc17"], g = 0; 3 > g; g++)                    f.push(e > g ? "color: #ff2424; background: #fff" : "color: #959595; background: #fff");                console.log.apply(console, f)            }

Notice there is an 'e' variable that starts at 1 and is incremented  when c = WebGL and d = "WebAudio". There is also a loop using a 'g' variable and at the end an f.push line that compares e to g and according to which is greater sets color to #ff2424(red) or #959595(gray).

 

So the meaning of the hearts are: 

♥: Basic functionality

♥♥: Either WebGl or WebAudio enabled

♥♥♥: WebGl and WebAudio enabled

 

That's really cool!

Great find! I also always see it and wonder what it means, but not too bothered to find out.

Now I can rest in peace

I wondered when someone would bother to dig into the code behind this easter egg

This is great  I noticed there was hearts but I never gave them meaning.

The easteregg looks really really ugly in the webstorm console btw

(When running from webstorm in chrome, you get alot of weird characters in the webstorm console, but no colors)

Yeah I get the weird characters in chrome but I never used to.

Good find though, I genuinely never knew what them hearts were for. I just thought it was an adoration aesthetic lol.

We all love phaser and I thought the hearts were just phaser returning the feeling.

And I noticed that when debugging app on phone and desktop, there was different heart count, so I assumed that they mean something, but not usefull for me

If your browser is not chrome it doesn't output any hearts or it would look really ugly on browsers that don't support styled console logs.

use Chrome to see the hearts ,)

[Kapsonfire]
