class Event[link]
Base abstract class of all game events. See the more specific class for more useful information.
class GameWindow[link]
Represents the game window or the browser frame or mobile screen. Manages the size of the screen, frame rate, and user input. For drawing graphical information to the screen, see the Graphics2D library.
new GameWindow(title, fps, width, height, screenWidth, screenHeight)[link]
Instantiates a new game window. For most platforms this will open a window or initialize the rendering surface (e.g. JavaScript's canvas). Furthermore, the screenWidth and screenHeight parameters may be ignored in platforms that don't have a notion of a dynamically sized window (such as mobile with a fixed-size strings). Creation of the window will also automatically show the window (i.e. there are no .show() or .hide() methods).
Arguments
Name | Type | Optional | Description |
---|---|---|---|
title | string | The title to appear in the window (if supported by the platform). Certain platforms require a name before the VM has a chance to run (such as the setting the title of the HTML host page or the name of a mobile app. For these, use the title field in the build file. |
|
fps | float | The desired frames per second for the game. |
|
width | integer | Logical width of the window. |
|
height | integer | Logical height of the window. |
|
screenWidth | integer | Optional | Actual width of the window. The image will be stretched to fit this size. |
screenHeight | integer | Optional | Actual height of the window. The image will be stretched to fit this size. |
function clockTick()[link]
Indicates that the frame has ended. This will cause the program to pause for an amount of time to maintain the frame rate.
function pumpEvents()[link]
Returns a list of events that have occurred since the last time pumpEvents was invoked.
Return Value
Type | Description |
