Wes Mantooth is a hobby project. It's a framework designed to automate some of the graphical aspects of visual Javascript programming, including game development.
Getting Started
Wes Mantooth uses an alias $w similar to jQuery
<script>/path/to/wes.mantooth.js</script>
<script>
window.onload = function(){
$w.init.canvas();
}
</script>
log -> {Void}
sends a string to the browsers console
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| text | String |
The log file is deactivated by default. It can be activated in the initialization of the class or (preferably) overridden in a program
$w.boolLog = true;
|
slocation -> {String}
returns the URI path to the base script. Useful for includes, etc...
makeFPS -> {Void}
creates an HTMl element to hold the FPS (frames per second) variable for display
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| s | Boolean | if true display the FPS variable |
upFPS -> {Void}
updates the visual FPS value
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $t | Object | The target DOM node to draw the FPS |
loop -> {Void}
loops through the game objects and preforms the loop function for each object added using add_object
This will be modified in the future to be required. it will also have multiple functions to run as per how it is done in Game Maker.
-
create
-
start loop
-
loop
-
end loop
-
destruction

add_object -> {Void}
