JAVASCRIPT JOURNEY : DAY 19

CHAPTER 19 : A PLATFORM GAME

Platform games (or “jump and run” games) expects the player to move a figure through a world.

CODE is plain JavaScript , can run directly in any web browser.

First we have index.html file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" onclick="jump()">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Jump Game</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="game">
        <div id="character"></div>
        <div id="block"></div>
    </div>
    <p>Score: <span id="scoreSpan"></span></p>
</body>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</html>

Here we have three divs =3 heros: game , character and block

STYLE.CSS:

    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    overflow-x: hidden;
}
.game{
    width: 500px;
    height: 200px;
    border: 1px solid black;
    margin: auto;
}
#character{
    width: 20px;
    height: 50px;
    background-color: red;
    position:relative;
    top: 150px;
}
.animate{
    animation: jump 0.3s linear;
}
@keyframes jump{
    0%{top: 150px;}
    30%{top: 100px;}
    70%{top: 100px;}
    100%{top: 150px;}
}

#block{
    background-color: blue;
    width: 20px;
    height: 20px;
    position: relative;
    top: 130px;
    left: 500px;
    animation: block 1s infinite linear;
}
@keyframes block{
    0%{left: 500px}
    100%{left: -20px}
}
p{
    text-align: center;
}

Here we tried to style div's to their appropriate width and height and then added animation to character to jump and to block to slide towards character.

```var character = document.getElementById("character"); var block = document.getElementById("block"); var counter=0; function jump(){ if(character.classList == "animate"){return} character.classList.add("animate"); setTimeout(function(){ character.classList.remove("animate"); },300); }



Here we first tried to grab character and block . Then  added an onlclick to html for jumping function of character.
Now the function jump() will add / remove class animate(to make character jump) in 500ms repeatedly as we click.

Any and every time we spam jump , it adds on the class animate to it,
or try to add the class "animate" only if it is not added.


Now we need to add hit-detection onto the game if they are on top of each other.


```var checkDead = setInterval(function() {
    let characterTop = parseInt(window.getComputedStyle(character).getPropertyValue("top"));
    let blockLeft = parseInt(window.getComputedStyle(block).getPropertyValue("left"));
    if(blockLeft<20 && blockLeft>-20 && characterTop>=130){
        block.style.animation = "none";
        alert("Game Over. score: "+Math.floor(counter/100));
        counter=0;
        block.style.animation = "block 1s infinite linear";
    }else{
        counter++;
        document.getElementById("scoreSpan").innerHTML = Math.floor(counter/100);
    }
}, 40);

So what you will do is :

Get the top position of character and left position of block.
Then compare them against each other , if they are inside of each other.
if hit , remove animation!!

This is the simple game.

Happy Learning:-)
