The Player

The player is the character you control in the game. It is defined by two properties: its appearance and its starting position.

---

Player Appearance

The player’s appearance is set using the sprite property. It can be:

A number between 0 and 9

In this case, the player will be shown as a solid-colored rectangle using the corresponding color:

createGame({
	player: {
		sprite: 7
	}
})

A string

This allows you to define a more complex sprite, line by line. Each digit corresponds to a color, and . represents a transparent pixel:

createGame({
	player: {
		sprite: `
      ...44...
      ...88...
      ...88...
      .434434.
      4.3443.4
      1.3333.1
      ..3333..
      ..3..3..
    `
	}
})

---

Starting Position

You can define the player’s initial position on the map using the position key. It should be an array in the form [x, y], where x is the column and y is the row in the grid.

For example, [2, 5] places the character in the 2nd column and 5th row (from the top):

createGame({
	player: {
		sprite: 7,
		position: [3, 4]
	}
})

By default, the player appears at the top-left corner of the map, at position [0, 0].
