States from Instances

Manual Start: Boot.js

Standard Method: using index.html to load and initilize game boot information from external module js file.

var GAMEAPP = {};

GAMEAPP.Boot = function ()
{
    this.face = null;
};

GAMEAPP.Boot.prototype.constructor = GAMEAPP.Boot;

GAMEAPP.Boot.prototype = {

    preload: function ()
    {
        this.load.image('languageSplash', 'assets/images/languageScene.png');
    },

    create: function ()
    {
        this.face = this.add.image(0, 0, 'languageSplash');
    }

};

var config = {
    type: Phaser.CANVAS,
    parent: 'phaser-example',
    width: 800,
    height: 500
};

var game = new Phaser.Game(config);

game.scene.add('Boot', GAMEAPP.Boot);

game.scene.start('Boot');
      

See Examples here


Prelaod.js

Standard Method: new payload state for Phaser v3 game assets from external module js file.

//  Files specified in the State config files payload
//  will be loaded in *before* the State is started,
//  meaning they're available before even the State.preload function (if set) is called

//  This is perfect for loading in small JSON config files for example,
//  or a tiny amount of preloader assets that the preloader itself needs to use.

var stateConfig = {
    preload: preload,
    create: create,
    files: [
        { type: 'image', key: 'sonic', url: 'assets/sprites/sample.png' }
    ]
};

var gameConfig = {
    type: Phaser.CANVAS,
    parent: 'phaser-example',
    width: 800,
    height: 500,
    scene: stateConfig
};

var game = new Phaser.Game(gameConfig);

function preload() {

    //  You can still preload other assets too
    this.load.image('face', 'assets/pics/sample.png');

}

function create() {

    this.add.image(0, 0, 'face');
    this.add.image(0, 0, 'sonic');

}
      

See Examples here


Splash.js &/or Languages.js

Standard Method: to load splash scene or language scene from external module js file.

as Modal (new in Phaser 3):


      var mainStateConfig = {
    key: 'background',
    active: true,
    create: createBackground,
    files: [
        { type: 'image', key: 'face', url: 'assets/images/language.png' }
    ]
};

var modalStateConfig = {
    key: 'modal',
    create: createModal,
    files: [
        { type: 'image', key: 'logo', url: 'assets/images/languagesSelect.png' }
    ]
};

var gameConfig = {
    type: Phaser.CANVAS,
    parent: 'phaser-example',
    width: 800,
    height: 500,
    scene: [ mainStateConfig, modalStateConfig ]
};

var game = new Phaser.Game(gameConfig);

Game Main Menu

Standard Method: load game main menu options from external module js file.
