crtrdg-arrow
This module is designed for easy arrow control together with crtrdg. It is kind of like a more specific crtrdg-keyboard only for the use with self defined Arrow keys.
However it is designed to be independant so it can be used with browserify without using something else from the crtrdg ecosystem.
It supports events for the four directions as well as functions for directly asking the states of the arrows.
You can simply install is with npm install crtrdg-arrows and then
use browserifyto transform it for the browser.
Simple Example with crtrdg-gameloop
var Game = require('crtrdg-gameloop');
var Arrows = require('crtrdg-arrows');
var game = new Game({
canvasId: 'game',
width: 800,
height: 400,
backgroundColor: '#ff1f1f'
});
var arrows = new Arrows();
var x = 10;
arrows.on('down', function () {
// Will be called once on keydown
console.log('This key is not allowed');
})
game.on('update', function(interval){
if (arrows.isDown('left')) {
x -= 5;
}
if (arrows.isDown('right')) {
x += 5;
}
});
game.on('draw', function (context) {
context.fillStyle = '#fff';
context.fillRect(x, 390, 60, 10);
});
