Installation (It's a snap!)

Just simply run:

npm install flowgame

Usage

• Import FlowJS into your project:

import flow from 'flowgame';

• Create an Game instance:

class MyGame extends flow.Game {
  async onCreate() {
    //...creation code here...
  }
  
}

• Load your assets:

await engine.loadAsset('./assets/player.png', 'player');

• Create your sprites:

class Player extends flow.Sprite {
  onCreate() {
    this.loadTexture("player");
  }
  onKeyPress(key) {
    if (key[0] == "right") this.changeVelocity(1, 0);
    if (key[0] == "left") this.changeVelocity(-1, 0);
    if (key[0] == "up") this.changeVelocity(0, -1);
    if (key[0] == "down") this.changeVelocity(0, 1);
  }
}

• Load your sprites

async onCreate() {
    //...other creation code here...
    this.addSprite(Player)
  }

• And start your game!

new flow.Engine({game:MyGame, window:{width:1280, height:720,title:"Game"}});
