The Player

The player configuration allows you to define the initial characteristics of the playable character in your game.

• The sprite property defines the visual appearance of the player.
• The position property sets the initial position of the player in the game world, expressed as an array containing the x and y coordinates.

Note

Coordinates are measured from top to bottom and left to right.

For example:

• [0, 0] places the player in the top-left corner.
• [3, 5] places the player in the third column from the left and the fifth row from the top.

createGame({
  player: {
    sprite: `
      ...99...
      ...88...
      .000000.
      0.0000.0
      8.0000.8
      ..3333..
      ..3..3..
      ..0..0..
    `,
    position: [3, 5]
  }
})

Dynamically Modifying the player State

To modify or check the state of the player, you can use the game object returned by the createGame function.

const game = createGame({
  // Initial game settings
})

game.player.sprite = 5 // Changes the player's appearance
game.player.position = [6, 6] // Moves the player to position [6, 6]
