Game Class

class Game s where
  update :: Asset -> Input -> s -> Update s
  draw :: s -> Draw Unit

s is a game state data type which can be flexibly defined.

Each functions are executed in order update, draw, sound at every frame.

Each emoji is mapped to a tile image and drawn in the position shown. Line wrapping may effect how the map is displayed in the code editor but will not effect how it is parsed.
Note: 🈳 is the special emoji that represents vacant space.

Asset

See type Asset and use mkAsset function for loading map that you edited.

mkAsset :: Array RawMap -> Effect Asset

Game Loop

Starts the main game loop that will continuously render the game on the canvas until the web page is closed or the canvas becomes unavaiable.

emo8 :: forall s. Game s => s -> Asset -> MonitorSize -> Effect Unit

Input

Defines the keyboard inputs that will be used for the game. This includes A-Z, Space, Enter and Backspace. All other keys are ignored.

type InputFlags = {
  isSpace :: Boolean,
  isEnter :: Boolean,
  isBackspace :: Boolean,
  isA :: Boolean,
  isB :: Boolean,  
  isC :: Boolean, 
  isD :: Boolean,
  ...
}

Defines the state of each of the InputFlags.

  • active refers to input keys that are were pressed or held down at the last input poll.
  • catched refers to input keys that were pressed at the last input poll.
  • release refers to input keys that were release at the last input poll.
type Input = { 
  active :: InputFlags,
  catched :: InputFlags, 
  released :: InputFlags
}
