First of all congrats for the work you done with the JS version, I like it so far.
I want to start working with the box2djs but I don’t see any example, how to link it with the cc.node objects, and how to implement the mechanics/collisions/movings etc.
Second question is about controller, I see that cocos2d uses a different aproach (on update the object you check if the key is pressed - and in the Layer with the functions onKeyDown, is like this in the only game I could find https://github.com/ShengxiangChen/MoonWarriors/blob/master/MoonWarriors/src/GameLayer.js ), I suspect update is based on fps/layer/tick update
But I see that there are some classes - cc.KeyboardDelegate() , dispatcher and handler, how can I use these ?
Global, what is the best standard to keep the global data, like player data, action history, other players data, etc, I use a regular global JS object or the framework provides us with a global singleton class like cc.director ?
This example really helped me a lot in the beginning.
I use the built in keyboard handler of the cc.Layer.
you have to activate it as follows: this.setKeyboardEnabled(true); (in the example the touch events are added using this.setTouchEnabled(true))
then I handle the keyboard events like this:
onKeyUp: function(e){
switch(e){
case cc.KEY.left:
this.isLeftPressed = false;
break;
case cc.KEY.right:
this.isRightPressed = false;
break;
case cc.KEY.up:
this.isUpPressed = false;
break;
}
},
onKeyDown: function(e){
switch(e){
case cc.KEY.left:
this.isLeftPressed = true;
break;
case cc.KEY.right:
this.isRightPressed = true;
break;
case cc.KEY.up:
this.isUpPressed = true;
break;
}
}
And then in your stepper you can move your box2d objects
this is how I got it to work:
var vel = playerSprite.body.GetLinearVelocity();
if(this.isLeftPressed){
if(vel.x>-this.maxVelocity){
vel.x -= 0.5;
}else{
vel.x = -this.maxVelocity;
}
}
