Trios2D

It is a simple, lightweight game engine for the web working over canvas

##How to Use

var game = new Trios2D("selector", {
    init: function () {
        ...
    },
    render: function (canvasContext) {
        ...
    },
    update: function (delta) {
        ...
    }
});

game.start();

Create an Engine object with the canvas where the game will be rendered as the first parameter and an object containing these ther methods:

Objects can be created to the game and those when added can perform its currents updates and renders independently;

    init: function (engine) {
        var independentObject = new Trios2D.GameObject();
        independentObject.position = new Trios2D.Vector(30,15);
        independentObject.update = function (delta) {
            ...
        };
        independentObject.render = function (context) {
            renderthings(context, this.absolutePosition.x, this.absolutePosition.y);
            ...
        };

        engine.addChild(independentObject);
    }

Every object can have its own childrens and all childrens positions are relative to the parent. An object which is made from other objects can be easyly done.

var car = new Trios2D.GameObject();

car.wheels = [];

car.wheels[0] = new Trios2D.GameObject();
car.wheels[1] = new Trios2D.GameObject();
car.wheels[2] = new Trios2D.GameObject();
car.wheels[3] = new Trios2D.GameObject();

for (var wheel in car.wheels) {
   car.addChild(wheel);
}

car.position = new Trios2D.Vector(100, 200);

game.addClild(car);

##Deeper in the Engine The Engine is an object which encapsulates some repetitive stuff to make a game in javascript for the mothern browsers and HTML5 apps. You dont have to worry about getting the input or other stuff. With this engine your game can be as easy as objects iteracting.

So to make a new game as said before you should do this:

var game = new Trios2D(canvas, logic);

Where canvas is a selector, representing an Canvas element, or an Canvas event as it is. Otherwise it will throw an exeption and the game would not be created. Then is logic, which is optional and it is an object like this:

var logic = {
    init: function (game) {
        initializeStuff();
    },
    
    update: function (delta, game) {
        updateStuff();
    },
    
    render: function (context, game) {
        renderStuff();
    }
}

All three functions in the logic object are optional. If you won't use them, just don't include them.

Here what these functions are for:

init: Is the begining of the game logic. Here you can set things when the game begins and it will be executed just before the game starts (#start). You are not limited to do the initialization in here. you can also make it befor you call the #start function in your game. The firt parameter is the game itself.
update. here you can update the game logic. If you dont want to do the game by objects interacting you can just put your update logic in here and the rendering in the render function andd there's no problem. The first parameter is the time sice the last update and the second is the game itself.
render: Here you can render whatever into the context. As I said before, if you would make the game like structured, so you render the stuff here. The first patameter is a Canvas Context where you draw stuff. More in W3schools

###Instance Variables

useRequestAnimationFrame: Indicates if the engine should work with window.requestAnimationFrame. Default to true.
canvasAlwaysRealSize: Indicates if the canvas size (context size) wuld be always equal to the css size (ensures pixel size to 1:1). Default to true.
maxFrameRate: is the max times render will be called in a second. It is default to 60, but you can set the framerate you think is better for your game.
maxUpdates: is the max times update will be called in a second. It is default to 60, but you can set the framerate you think is better for your game.
cleanBeforeRender: This specifies if the canvas will be cleared every time render is called. It is default to true.
pauseOnBlur: This specifies if the game will pause if the canvas lose it's focus. It is default to true.
camera: Is an Camera object which manages the render perspective. Click here to se more.
children: Is an array containing all the GameObject objects that are directly in the game (not the GameObject children, see GameObject#children). DO NOT MODIFY THIS ARRAY OR SET IT DIRECTLY UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!

###Methods

#addChild(child): Adds child to the game. Every time update and render is called for the engine, render and update methods will be called for every children within the engine. The child must be a GameObject, a Module, or any object derived from GameObject (will be checked using instaceof)
#removeChild(child): Removes child from the engine, so it wont render or update until it is on the engine again.
#start(): Start the game.
#pause(): Pauses the game. By default the game pauses when canvas loose focus unless you say no (game.pauseOnBlur = false).
#resume(): Resumes the game.
#getInput(): Return the current input of the user in an Input object.
#setCanvasRealSize(): Makes the canvas size (contect size) to be equal to the css size (ensures pixel size to 1:1).

##Built-in Objects

Trios2D has some objects to work with the engine, some of them are:

###Vector

A Vector is simply a vector. It encapsulates x and y values and offer a set of methods to make math with them as other utitlity methods.

To make a new Vector just call new Trios2D.Vector(x, y), where x and y are the coordenates. You can also do it these other ways:

var coords = [x, y];
var vec1 = new Trios2D.Vector(coords); // it can take an array as parameter.
                                       // this way coors[0] is x and coors[1]
                                       // is y.

And this way:

var coords = {x: 0, y: 0};
var vec1 = new Trios2D.Vector(coords); // Here coords.x is x and coords.y is y

####Methods

As mentioned before the an Vector object has some utility methods. Currents are:

#add(otherVector): This method return a new vector made by the addition of these two vectors.
#sub(otherVector): This method return a new vector made by the substraction of these two vectors.
#multiply(scalar): This method return a new vector made by the product of this vector and an scalar.
#divide(scalar): This method return a new vector made by the quotient of this vector and an scalar.
#invert(): Return an inverted vector (x and y values are inverted).
#getAbsoluteValue(): returns the absolute value from the vector (obtained by the pythagorean theorem).
#lerp(to, by): Linear interpolation. Return an interpolated vector from the current Vectorobject to the to vector by the by fraction.
#isBetween(vector1, vector2): Returns true if the current vector is in between vector1 and vector2 coordenates.
#hasValue(): Return false if the Vector x and y values are equal to zero.
#equal(vector): Check if both Vectors have the same value.
#round(precision): Return a copy of the Vector with rounded values by precision.

###Angle

Angle is an utility object to manage angles. This is user to control the rotation and other things that may use angles in the engine. By default it works with radians but you can initialize it to work with degrees. Here is how to insantiate an Angle object:

var angle = new Trios2D.Angle(Math.PI / 2); // a π/2 angle or 45º

var angle2 = new Trios2D.Angle(45, true);   // a 45º angle or π/2

This way you can work with rads or degrees with any problem or preocupation.

The constructor arguments are value and isDegree. value specfy it values and isDegree when specified indicate that you passed the value in degrees. If false or not defined, value is treated as radians.

####Instance Variables ans Properies

value: Get or set the angle value. By default when getted or sertted the value is considered to be radians, buf if you specified when you constructed the angle that it should work in degrees (isDegree parameter), then you will recive the vaule in radiants. To avoid confussion is recomended that if you want radiants, ask for the rads property. If you want degrees use the degrees property.
isDegree: Indicates if the angle works in rads or degrees.
degrees: Get or sets the value of the angle in degrees.
rads: Get or sets the value of the angle in radians.

####Metohds

#hasValue(): Return true if the Angle value is diferent than zero.
#equal(angle): Check if both Angles have the same value. If the first argument is a scalar it makes the comparation with this criteria. If the angle is working in degrees, it would make the comparation considering the scalar as degrees. Else it would consider the scalar to be radians.
#add(angle): Perform an addition between two angles. If an scalar is passed as paramether would do the addition depending in how the angle is working. It would consither the scalar to be degrees if the angle is working on degrees. Otherwise it would consider the scalar to be in radians.
#sub(angle): Perform an substraction between two angles. If an scalar is passed as paramether would do the substraction depending in how the angle is working. It would consither the scalar to be degrees if the angle is working on degrees. Otherwise it would consider the scalar to be in radians.
#multiply(angle): Perform an multiply between two angles. If an scalar is passed as paramether would do the multiply depending in how the angle is working. It would consither the scalar to be degrees if the angle is working on degrees. Otherwise it would consider the scalar to be in radians.
#divide(angle): Perform an divide between two angles. If an scalar is passed as paramether would do the divide depending in how the angle is working. It would consither the scalar to be degrees if the angle is working on degrees. Otherwise it would consider the scalar to be in radians.
#invert(): Inverts the angle value. (the same as doing -x, x being a number).
#round(precision): Return a copy of the Angle with rounded value by precision.
#valueOf(): Return the angle value in radians.

###GameObjects

You read about them above, they are object made to work together in the game and interact. That way you can reduce your game logic to just objects interacting with each other. Every time the engine renders and updates, the GameObjects children of the engine methods render and update respectively will be called.

A GameObject can be made this way: new Trios2D.GameObject().

A game object has a position which is a Vector and is relative to the parent.

This is what a GameObject looks like:

var gameObject = new Trios2D.GameObject();

gameObject.update = function update(delta) { // Here you put the update logic of your object.
    updateObject(delta);                     // delta is the time since the last update

};

gameObject.render = function render(context, parentPosition) { // Here you put the render logic of your object.
    renderObject(context, this.absolutePosition);              // context is the canvas context where you would render
                                                               // parentPosition is an vector with the position of the parent
};

gameObject.addChild(child);

Here we can se some other things not mentioned in the coment. First the #addChild method. This method adds a GameObject into a GameObject. Second is the this.absolutePosition. We will cver it later.

####Instance Variables

position: Is an Vector indicating the object position relative to it's parents. If you want to move it right just add to the vector x and thats it.
size: Is an Vector indicating the width (x) and height (y) of the GameObject.
renderPosition: Indicates the render priotity of the GameObject and that way if it is in the front or the back. Higher values means that is more on the front. By default 0.
rotation: Is an Angle object that indicates the rotation of the object. Every thing rendered by a GameObject with an specified rotation will be rotated by the same amount and the children rotation is relative to the parent.
rotationAnchor: specifies the rotation anchor of an object. Its values can be Vector object indicating a point relative to the parent where the rotation will be anchored or some of the following values:

Here a list of the keywords and the rotation anchor for them. The red dot is the anchor.

Keyword Anchor

"top-left"

"top-middle"

"top-right"

"middle-left"

"center"

"middle-right"

"bottom-left"

"bottom-middle"

"bottom-right"
children: Is an array containing all the GameObject objects that are children of the GameObject. DO NOT MODIFY THIS ARRAY OR SET IT DIRECTLY UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!
components: Is an array containing all Component (See more about Component here) which belongs to the GameObject. DO NOT MODIFY THIS ARRAY OR SET IT DIRECTLY UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!
engine: Returns the engine the GameObject is subscrided to.

####Methods

#addChild(child): Adds child to the GameObject. Every time update and render is called for the GameObject, render and update methods will be called for every children within the object. The child must be a GameObject, a Module, or any object derived from GameObject (will be checked using instaceof)
#removeChild(child): Removes child from the GameObject, so it wont render or update until it is on the GameObject or the engine directly again.
#addComponent(component): Adds component to the GameObject. More in components here.
#removeComponent(component): Removes component from the GameObject. More in components here.
autoCalcSize(): Calculates, set and return the size of the GameObject based on the sizer ans positions of it's childs. Util with collisions boxes when the object has no defined size but it has childs with does.

###Input

It is an object that contains the input from the user. To know if a key is down, you must call #isKeyDown(code) where code is the key code. It returns true if that key is down, else false.

Other methods are:

#isKeyUp(code): Returns true if the key was released during the update. Else false.
#isKeyUp(code): Returns true if the key was pressed. Else false.

###Camera

Camera object is made to manage the view point pof the game, giving to id a "camera", which you point to a position and in the canvas you can see what the "camera" sees. By default, the camera is seeing at the point (0,0). You can change the position where the Camera is by setting the position variable to a vector of the new position.

####Instance variables and Properties

position: Indicates the position of the camera.
rotation: Is an Angle object that indicates the rotation of the camera. When you rotate the camera everything rotates in the other direction from the user perspective (like quen you rotate your phone during a video).
rotationAnchor: specifies the rotation anchor of the camera. Its values can be Vector object indicating a point relative to the parent where the rotation will be anchored or some of the following values:

Here a list of the keywords and the rotation anchor for them. The red dot is the anchor.

Keyword Anchor

"top-left"

"top-middle"

"top-right"

"middle-left"

"center"

"middle-right"

"bottom-left"

"bottom-middle"

"bottom-right"

##Modules

Trios2D has modules built in, making easy thing like images managing or animations. It isn't very complete yet, but it is growing. All the modules are Game Objects and you can treat them as it. Modules are in the ./modules folder.

###Some Modules

####GameImage

It is a module to manage images. It implements the render and update methods so you just have to specify the image and the size and it will make the work for you.

To use it you must import the ./modules/GameImage.js script.

<script src="js/Trios2D.js"></script>
...
<script src="js/modules/GameImage.js"></script>

To make a new image use new Trios2D.GameImage(image, size) where image is an HTMLImage Object or a source string. If the browser supports data url GameImage too. The size is an Vector object, an object containing {x: 0, y: 0} or even an array [x, y]. If size in not secified, it will take the image original size, but while the image isn't loaded in the navigator it will be (0,0).

If you are working with sprites you can make the GameImage this way: new Trios2D.GameImage(image, clipStart, size). Here clipStart is where to start trimming the image, and the size is how much to trim. The same as size, clipStartcan be a Vector and object or an array.

Heres some examples of using GameImage module:

var image1 = new Trios2D.GameImage("/res/images/car.jpg", new Trios2D.Vector(330, 150));

var htmlImage = document.querySelector("img#wheel");

var image2 = new Trios2D.GameImage(htmlImage, [20, 20]);


var image2 = new Trios2D.GameImage("/res/images/person.jpg"); // without size too :)


var image4 = new Trios2D.GameImage("/res/images/spritesheet.png, [10, 200], {x:100, y:100});

image1.addChild(image2); // This is ok since every module is an GameObject too

game.addChild(image1); // Ok because it is a game object, are made for this.
game.addChild(image3);
game.addChild(image4);

All these ways are ok.

#####Intance Variables

image: The HTMLImage which is rendered by the GameImage module.
originalSize: An Vector representig the real size of the image or how much of it will be rendered.
clipStart: An Vector representing from where the image will be renderer (where the triming start). If not specified in the constructor it is default to (0,0).
scale: How much scaling the image has when rendering. 1 is normal, 0.1 is 10% of it size and 2 is 2x size. Default to 1.
size: Overwritten from GameObject. Is a get-only property which return the size of the image in the canvas.

####GameText

It is a module to manage text rendering. It giives cappabilities to render test with your desired font, size, color, alignment and other thing thar are normaly messy when rendering text on canvas.

To use it you must import the ./modules/GameText.js script.

<script src="js/Trios2D.js"></script>
...
<script src="js/modules/GameText.js"></script>

Here an example of how to use it:

var text = new Trios2D.GameText("I am rendering :)", options);

text.position = new Trios2D.Vector(20, 20);

game.addChild(text);

Where options is an object containig information about how to render the text. here a list of posible options:

size: The font size of the text to render. Default to 10.
font_family: The font family of the text to render. Can be set like the css rule font-family. Defaults to "sans-serif".
font_misc: Other font properties, separated by spaces. An Example would be "bold italic".
textAlign: See canvas' textAlign on W3Schools. Default to "start".
baselineAlign: See canvas' baselineAlign on W3Schools. Default to "alphabetic"
drawMode: Specifies if the text will be rendered by filling the text on canvas, stroking the text or both. Posible values are "fill", "stroke", and "fillNStroke", where "fillNStroke" first fills the text and then strokes.
fillStyle: Defines the filling color of the text (also everything canvas can). Defaults to the current value setted in the context.
strokeStyle: Defines the stroking color of the text(also everything canvas can). Defaults to the current value setted in the context.
strokeWidth: Defines the width of the stroke . Defaults to the current value setted in the context.

#####Intance Variables

You can chage any of the options at any time changin the value tu the instance. If you change the text property, it will be reflected in the next render. Also all the other properties. These properties are almost the same as the optiosn, let's see them.

text: the text which renders in the screen
size: The font size of the text to render. Default to 10.
font_family: The font family of the text to render. Can be set like the css rule font-family. Defaults to "sans-serif".
font_misc: Other font properties, separated by spaces. An Example would be "bold italic".
textAlign: See canvas' textAlign on W3Schools.
baselineAlign: See canvas' baselineAlign on W3Schools.
drawMode: Specifies if the text will be rendered by filling the text on canvas, stroking the text or both. Posible values are "fill", "stroke", and "fillNStroke", where "fillNStroke" first fills the text and then strokes.
fillStyle: Defines the filling color of the text (also everything canvas can). Defaults to the current value setted in the context.
strokeStyle: Defines the stroking color of the text(also everything canvas can). Defaults to the current value setted in the context.
strokeWidth: Defines the width of the stroke . Defaults to the current value setted in the context.

####Animation

Animation is module which manages and render a set of images which changes every time. It makes easyer thinks like render a walking dog or an jumping player. You can make an animation from several images (url ot HTMLImage object), or an spritesheet specifing the spritesheet size, the margin between images and the size of each image. It will calculate how much sprites the sprite sheet has depending of the sizes provided, but you can specify how much images to take.

To use it you must import the ./modules/Animation.js script.

<script src="js/Trios2D.js"></script>
...
<script src="js/modules/Animation.js"></script>

Heres some examples of using Animation module:

var animation1 = new Trios2D.Animation("/res/images/spritesheet.png", { // The first parameter is an sprite sheet
    spriteSize: [32,32],                                                // and in the options specifies each sprite
    imageSize: [448, 448],                                              // size, the spritesheet size (optional) and 
    imageNumber: 30                                                     // the number of sprites to take. First and 
});                                                                     // second options can be vector object,
                                                                        // an array or ansimple object

game.addChild(animation1);

var animation2 = new Trios2D.Animation([ // here the first paramether is an image url
    "/res/images/player1/1.png",         // array. It will get the size for each image.
    "/res/images/player1/2.png",         // If it where HTMLImage Objects ther would be 
    "/res/images/player1/3.png",         // no problem. This way options are ignored
    "/res/images/player1/4.png"
]);

game.addChild(animation2);

var animation3 = new Trios2D.Animation([
    {
        image: "/res/images/spritesheet.png", // Here the first parameter specifies
        clipStart: [32,0],                    // an array of objects containing the
        originalSize: {x:32, y: 32}           // image url, where to start cliping (optional)
    },                                        // and the size. Both can bevector object, an 
                                              // array or an simple object

    {
        image: "/res/images/spritesheet.png",
        clipStart: [32,32],
        originalSize: {x:32, y: 32}
    },

    {
        image: "/res/images/spritesheet.png",
        clipStart: [64,0],
        originalSize: {x:32, y: 32}
    }
]);


game.addChild(animation3);

We can see here all the work you can save using this animation module. Just prepare your sprite and set it size.

The options can be:

imageSize: Specify when the first paramether of the constructor is an image. It is the size of the image. If not set, imageNumber neither, and the image haven't been loaded by the navigator, your animation wont render.
spriteSize: Specify when the first paramether of the constructor is an image. It is the size of each sprite that will be rendered. If not specified when the first paramether of the constructor is an image it will throw an error.
margin: Is the space between each sprite in the sprite sheet. Only work when the first paramether of the constructor is an image.
imageNumber: Is the number of sprites to take from the sprite sheet. Only work when the first paramether of the constructor is an image.
framesPerSecond: Indicates how many times per second the current image in the animation will change. Default to 10.
scale: Indicate the initial scale of the animation. Default to 1.

We have seen that you can pass an array of images url, HTMLImage objects, or objects containing info about each one of the images with will make the animation. The last mentioned can have these properties:

image: It could be an url, and data url, or an HTMLImage object.
clipStart: Optional. It is where to start to trim the image. It can be a Vector, an array or a simple object. (0,0) by default.
originalSize: Optional. It is the size of the image or how much will be trimmed. It can be a Vector, an array or a simple object. If not specified i will take the size from the image specified.

#####Instance variables

images: It is an array of all the frames the animation renders. Every frame is an object composed as follows:
- image: An HTMLImage object.
- clipStart: An Vector object representing where to star trimming the image.
- originalSize: An Vector object representing the size of the image or how much is trimmed when rendering.
current: The index of the current image rendering in the animation.
framesPerSecond: Indicates how many times per second the current image in the animation will change.
pingpong: If true, when the animation get to the end it wiil come back like 9 .. 8 .. 7 ...; by default false.
scale: Indicate the scale of the animation.
size: Read-only property which return the actual size at the moment that the animation renders on canvas.

#####Methods

#reverse(): Reverses the current animation.

####GameSound

This is a module wich simplify the audio management in your game. It internaly works using the <audio> HTML5 element.

To use it you must import the ./modules/GameSound.js script.

<script src="js/Trios2D.js"></script>
...
<script src="js/modules/GameSound.js"></script>

Here an example of how to use it:

var sound = new Trios2D.GameSound(audio);

sound.play();

game.addChild(sound);

Here audio could be the audio file url or an <audio> HTML element.

Some of the utilities about this object is that the audio starts to load inmediatly you create it, in difference to the <audio> element, and the fact that the audio automaticly pauses when the game is paused.

#####Instance Variablesa and properties

currentTime: Property proxy to the <audio>'s property currentTime. See more about this property in W3Schools.
duration: Property proxy to the <audio>'s property duration. See more about this property in W3Schools.
ended: Property proxy to the <audio>'s property ended. See more about this property in W3Schools.
loop: Property proxy to the <audio>'s property loop. See more about this property in W3Schools.
paused: Property proxy to the <audio>'s property paused. See more about this property in W3Schools.
volume: Property proxy to the <audio>'s property volume. See more about this property in W3Schools.

#####Methods

#play(): Plays the sound. If the audio is currently playing, it start to play the sound again from the begining. If paused, the sound reproduction just resumes.
#resume(): Resumens the sound playing if it is paused. Otherwise it does nothing.
#pause(): Pauses the sound reproduction.
#stop(): Stops the sound reproduction and the the next time the sound plays, it will start from the begining.

###How To Make my own modules

You can make your own modules and use it within your own proyects or just share them.

To make a Module you must just make an object constructor which derives from GameObject. Here is a Template:

(function (window, undefined) { // Autoexecuting anonymous function so anithing
    "use strict";               // but what you specify be modified outside it.
                                // Not necesary, but recomended
                                
    if (!window.Trios2D)                                                // Just Enshuring that
        throw new Error("You must include Trios2D in your HTML");       // the engine is defined.
                                                                        // If not the plugin would trow more errors

    var Trios2D = window.Trios2D,               // Just taking the engine and other component 
        Vector = Trios2D.Vector,                // from the window variable, so it's easier 
        GameObject = Trios2D.GameObject;        // to use them



    function MyModule(param1, param2) {

        // Calling GameObject Constructor
        GameObject.apply(this);                      // this is a way to enshure all the initializaions
                                                     // necesary to make a game object are done. If this
                                                     // isn't done, the module can behave weird
                                                     
        DoCustomInitializationStuff();               // then do every thing to initialize your module
        
    }

    MyModule.prototype = Object.create(GameObject.prototype);  // This makes an prototype wich derives from 
                                                               // the GameObject prototype, so it shares all
                                                               // the stuff the GameObject prototype has, but wont 
                                                               // change anything in the GameObject Prototype but 
                                                               // in MyModule prototype will do.

    
    MyModule.prototype.update = function update(delta) {                       // Now Implement your custom render and update
        updateStuff(delta);                                                    // this way. You could also define it in the 
    };                                                                         // constructor. It won't make a difference
                                                                                
    MyModule.prototype.render = function render(context, parentPosition) {     // Both methods are optional
        renderStuff(context);
    };
    
    
    MyModule.prototype.customMethod = function customMethod(param1, param2) {
        // You can make your own custom methods this way or the constructor way.
        doMoreStuff();
    };

    window.Trios2D.MyCustomModuleName = MyModule;  // Make it aviable in the Trios2D namespace, if yow want
                                                   
    // Otherwise just make it aviable this way:
    window.MyModule = MyModule;    

}(window));

This way you can make object constructors with reutilizable logic just available any time you need. More about Object.create here.

##Components

Components are mede to encapsulate behavior, like player movement or physics. All the components must derive from Trios2D.Component. To use componets you must add it to a GameObject or any derivate, using the #addComponent method. To make a blanc component you can do that this way:

var newComp = new Trios2D.Component();

newComp.update = function update(delta, gameObject) {
    updateGameObject(gameobject);
};

newComp.render = function render(context, parentPosition, gameObject) {
    renderGameObject(gameobject);                                           // As you can see, you can do rendering to.
};

gameObject.addComponent(newComp);

As you can see here the component does things on the game obect itself.

###Components for more than one use.

The idea of a component is to manage some behaviors that some entities share. So kaing the way above is not the best way to do it. With this engine come a set of componets, so developing games could be more easy. All the Trios2D Components are in the ./components/ folder and this is the way to use them.

In the HTML:

<script src="js/Trios2D.js"></script>
...
<script src="js/components/ComponentName.js"></script>

and in the js:

var component = new Trios2D.Components.ComponentName(param);

gameObject.addComponent(component);

gameObject.componentName = component; // This is usefull when you have to acces to a component.

####Physics Component

We are currently working on this. This encapsulate the physics behavior of a Gameobject. It currently only handle the velocity and aceleration of an object.

#####Instance Variables

velocity: indicates the velocity of the GameObject the component is subcribed to.
aceleration: indicates the aceleration of the GameObject the component is subcribed to.

###Making my Reusable Component

This way you can make the component really reusable:

(function (window, undefined) { // Autoexecuting anonymous function so anithing
    "use strict";               // but what you specify be modified outside it.
                                // Not necesary, but recomended
                                
    if (!window.Trios2D)                                                // Just Enshuring that
        throw new Error("You must include Trios2D in your HTML");       // the engine is defined.
                                                                        // If not the plugin would trow more errors

    var Trios2D = window.Trios2D,               // Just taking the engine and other component 
        Vector = Trios2D.Vector,                // from the window variable, so it's easier 
        GameObject = Trios2D.GameObject,        // to use them
        Component = Trios2D.Component;


    function MyComponent() {
        // Calling Component Constructor
        Component.apply(this);

        initializeStuff();  
    }

    MyComponent.prototype = Object.create(Component.prototype); // This makes an prototype wich derives from 
                                                                // the Component prototype, so it shares all
                                                                // the stuff the Component prototype has, but wont 
                                                                // change anything in the Component Prototype but 
                                                                // in MyComponent prototype will do.


    MyComponent.prototype.update = function update(delta, gameObject) {
        updateStuff();                                              //Do your update stuff here
    };
    
    MyComponent.prototype.render = function render(context, parentPosition, gameObject) {
        renderStuff();                                              //Do your render stuff here
    };
    
    MyComponent.prototype.postupdate = function postupdate(delta, gameObject) {
        updateStuff();                                              // If you need to do logic after the game object updates, you can do it in here 
    };
    
    MyComponent.prototype.postrender = function postrender(context, parentPosition, gameObject) {
        renderStuff();                                              //If you need to render things after the game object renders, you can do it in here 
    };
    
     
    
    MyComponent.prototype.customMethod = function customMethod(param1, param2) {
        // You can make your own custom methods this way or the constructor way.
        doMoreStuff();
    };

    window.Trios2D.Components.MyComponentName = MyComponent;  // Make it aviable in the Trios2D.Components namespace, if yow want
                                                   
    // Otherwise just make it aviable this way:
    window.MyComponent = MyComponent;    

}(window));

Now your component can be used again and again simply using new MyCompoent(). More about Object.create here.

##Utilities

Trios2D game engine bring some utilities. Those utilities are in the ./utilities/ folder and are registered unther the Trios2D.Utilities namespace.

Depending of the engine it will need you to import the Trios2d.js script or not.

###ResourcePreloader utility

This is an utility to help you to preload you game resources as images and sounds. It provides also events so your code can know when all content is loaded, the preload progress and error in them.

To use this utility you must import the ./utilities/ResourcePreloader.js script to use it. NOTE: If you import this script and then you import the Trios2D.js script, the Trios2D namespace would be overwritten and Trios2D.Utilities.ResourcePreloader won't be available.

Here is how to use it:

var preloader = new Trios2D.Utilities.ResourcePreloader();

preloader.on("progress", function (event) {
    console.log((event.progress * 100).toString() + "%");
});

preloader.onload = function (event) {
    console.log(event.resources); // event.resources is a list of all loaded items
};

preloader.addEventListener("error", function (event) {
    console.log(event.resource.src + " failed to load"); // event resource is the element that failed loading
});


preloader.preloadImage("/images/p1sprite.png"); // preload an image

preloader.preloadSound("/sounds/hurt.mp3"); // preload an audio file

####Instance Variables and Properties

loaded: Gets the number of loaded elements.
total: Get the total number of object registered to load.
progress: Get the current progress of the preloading.
onprogress: Sets a new event listener to the progress event. See progress event.
onload: Sets a new event listener to the load event. See load event.
oncomplete: Alias of onload.
onerror: Sets a new event listener to the error event. See error event

####Metohds

#preloadImage(imageUrl): Preloads the image specified by the url.
#preloadSound(soundUrl): Preloads the sound specified by the url.
#on(eventName, listener): Subcribe an event listener for an event.
#addEventListener(eventName, listener): Subcribe an event listener for an event.

####Events

As we can see, the ResourcePreloader object supports 3 events:

progress:

Triggers when one of the items preloaded id fully loaded. The event object used as argument of the progress event listener contains these variables:
- resource: An HTML element of the loaded element.
- progress: The current progress on loading the resources.
load:

Triggers when all elements are loaded. The event object used as argument of the load event listener contains the variable resources wich contains all the resources fully loaded.
error:

Triggers each time an resource fails to load. The event object contain the element resource which is the non loaded element.

You can use tu subcribe an event listener the methods #on(eventName, listener) and #addEventListener(eventName, listener), as well as oneventName property.
