  1. // getting started with Impact++ is easy!
  2. // add the two basic scripts to the end of your game HTML file:
  3. // first the ImpactJS main script
  4. <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/impact/impact.js"></script>
  5. // then your game's main script
  6. <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/game/main.js"></script>
  7. // now inside your game's main script file
  8. // you'll set it up the same as when using ImpactJS
  9. // define the main module (script)
  10. ig.module(
  11.      'game.main'
  12. )
  13. // then require the other modules
  14. .requires(
  15.      // to hook Impact++ into your game
  16.      // all you need to do is require one module
  17.      'plusplus.core.plusplus',
  18.      // then don't forget your levels
  19.      'game.levels.name'
  20. )
  21. // now define how your game starts up
  22. .defines(function () {
  24.      // always use strict
  25.      "use strict";
  27.      // store the config in a local variable
  28.      // this is a good pattern to follow in general
  29.      var _c = ig.CONFIG;
  31.      // now have your game extend ig.GameExtended
  32.      var myGameClass = ig.GameExtended.extend({
  33.          // game settings go here
  34.      });
  36.      // (optionally, add custom settings in 'plusplus/config-user.js')
  38.      // then start the game as usual with your game and config
  39.      ig.main(
  40.          // you'll need a canvas element with an id of 'canvas'
  41.           "#canvas",
  42.           // your game class
  43.           myGameClass,
  44.           // this value does nothing
  45.           60,
  46.           // the width / height / scale of your game
  47.           // don't forget that Impact++ can scale dynamically
  48.           // and can be resolution independent (see config)
  49.           _c.GAME_WIDTH,
  50.           _c.GAME_HEIGHT,
  51.           _c.SCALE,
  52.           // and the Impact++ customizable loader
  53.           // within which you can easily change the logos!
  54.           ig.LoaderExtended
  55.       );
  57.      // and whenever you create a new entity remember...
  58.      // plain entities extend ig.EntityExtended
  59.      var myEntityClass = ig.EntityExtended.extend({
  60.          // entity settings go here
  61.      });
  62.      // and in a similar vein...
  63.      // characters entities extend ig.Character
  64.      // creature entities extend ig.Creature
  65.      // particles entities extend ig.Particle
  66.      // player entities extend ig.Player
  67.      // and so on (we've got lots of abstracts)
  69. });

  71. // check out the Jump n' Run example
  72. // in the "examples/jumpnrun" directory
  73. // or for a more advanced tutorial
  74. // check out the SUPER COLLIDER! example
  75. // in the "examples/supercollider" directory
  76. // which includes almost every feature in Impact++!
