Plugin Feedback Effects

Plugin: Feedback Effects

dopaminejs-plugin-feedback-effects 1.0.2. Needs dopaminejs 2.0.1 or newer.

npm install dopaminejs-plugin-feedback-effects

Floating text and confetti drawn on the game canvas, as game objects in the current scene. It needs a Game with a scene. For feedback on a normal web page, use Game UI instead.

import { Game, Scene } from 'dopaminejs';
import { FeedbackPlugin } from 'dopaminejs-plugin-feedback-effects';

const game = new Game();
game.kernel.plugins.use(FeedbackPlugin);
game.setScene(new Scene());
game.start();

const feedback = game.kernel.systems.get('feedback');
feedback.trigger('milestone', 400, 300);

trigger(type, x, y, options)

x and y are canvas coordinates.

Type	Text	Colour	Confetti
oops	Oops!	#FF4444	none
milestone	MILESTONE!	#FFD700	50
faster	FASTER!	#50fa7b	none
levelup	LEVEL UP!	#bd93f9	30

Any other type shows options.text, and nothing when no text is given.

feedback.trigger('custom', 400, 300, { text: '+3 streak', color: '#06d6a0', fontSize: 32 });

Option	Default	Meaning
text	the preset	Text to show
color	the preset, or #FFFFFF	Text colour
count	the preset	Confetti pieces, for types that have confetti
fontSize	24	Pixels
fontFamily	'Outfit'	Load the font yourself, or pass one you have
velocityY	-100	Pixels per second. Negative moves up.
lifetime	1.0	Seconds

emitConfetti(x, y, count = 50)

Confetti without text. The count is capped at 500, because each piece is a game object.

Without a scene

trigger does nothing when no scene is running. emitConfetti logs a warning.

Removing it

game.kernel.plugins.remove('feedback-effects');

With dopaminejs 2.4.0 or newer this also unregisters the feedback system. The plugin has no destroy, so on an older core call game.kernel.systems.unregister('feedback') too.

Other exports

FeedbackSystem, FloatingText and ConfettiParticle, for building your own effects. FloatingText and ConfettiParticle are components.
