  Advanced Phaser and TypeScript Projects

  11th Dec 2013

  41

  This tutorial is a follow-up to the TypeScript with Phaser beginners guide. I will assume you have worked through that tutorial already and have a working set-up in which you can compile Phaser projects. From this base we will expand on the simple approach taken in the beginners guide and show how to structure a more advanced project that benefits from the power of TypeScript.

  Create a new Project

  In the first tutorial everything was hanging off a single app.ts file with one bundled class. This time around we’re going to break it up into more individual classes. In Visual Studio create a new empty TypeScript project, then add the phaser TypeScript definition and JS library files to it as outlined in Step 2 in the first tutorial.

  Download this asset pack and unzip it into the project folder. We’ll reference these files in our code.

  Create a new TypeScript file called Game.ts and add this code to it:

  module Castlevania {
  
      export class Game extends Phaser.Game {
  
          constructor() {
  
              super(800, 600, Phaser.AUTO, 'content', null);
  
              this.state.add('Boot', Boot, false);
              this.state.add('Preloader', Preloader, false);
              this.state.add('MainMenu', MainMenu, false);
              this.state.add('Level1', Level1, false);
  
              this.state.start('Boot');
  
          }
  
      }
  
  } 
  

  Here we have created a new Module called Castlevania under which all of our game classes will live. Obviously you’d change this to whatever your game is actually called, unless you’re genuinely working on a Castlevania game, in which case I’m eternally jealous 🙂

  The Game class is extending Phaser.Game. As a result we need to call super in the constructor and pass in our game settings. Once done we add 4 States to the game: Boot, Preloader, MainMenu and Level1, and then start the Boot state. You don’t have to add ALL of the States at this point, but there is no harm in doing so.

  FlodPro – Awesome Soundtracker Replayer – Sneak Preview

  5th Aug 2009

  1

  Christian Corti has been hard at work on the Flod Replay library, and Flod Pro incorporates the latest version and a whole lot more, wrapped up in a sexy ProTracker style interface! He gave me permission to show you a demo of it, so have a play with this:

  [swfobj src=”http://sandbox.photonstorm.com/flod/FlodProSneakPreview.swf” width=”568″ height=”477″]

  Click “Browse” and select a soundtracker module (.mod file) then hit “Play“. Some features work, some don’t. The two sliders on the bottom right are for volume and stereo separation. The numbers 1-4 at the top enable/disable the channels. Clicking through the sample names often reveal hidden messages from the composers 🙂

  Just check out the replay quality! It’s now playing back a lot of mods better than even ModPlug can, all from AS3 / FP10.

  If you don’t have any soundtracker modules to load into it then here is a little zip (655KB) with 5 classic Amiga tunes and the FlodPro SWF. Or you can downloads thousands of tunes from sites like Amiga Music Preservation.
