game.add.spriteBatch parameters suggestion

[petarov]

From the SpriteBatch docs:

new SpriteBatch(game, parent, name, addToStage)

parent - ... If undefined or null it will use game.world.

This is a simple suggestion that allows for the parent parameter to be skipped, therefore adding the SpriteBatch directly to game.world.

In GameObjectFactory

    spriteBatch: function (parent, name, addToStage) {
        if (typeof parent === 'string') {
            addToStage = typeof name === 'boolean' ? name : addToStage;
            name = parent;
            parent = undefined;
        }
        if (typeof name === 'undefined') { name = 'group'; }
        if (typeof addToStage === 'undefined') { addToStage = false; }

        return new Phaser.SpriteBatch(this.game, parent, name, addToStage);

    },

e.g.,

this.game.add.spriteBatch('batch');
this.game.add.spriteBatch('batch', false);

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't like using optional parameters, but I have implemented what you requested - you can now simply pass 'null' as the parent and it will default to game.world. Or if you pass no parameters at all it will do the same.

ok, should be fine, thx! I think I don't need to explicitly set a name to the group, at least in my case.
