Phaser.Create

new Create(game)

The Phaser.Create class is a collection of smaller helper methods that allow you to generate game content quickly and easily, without the need for any external files. You can create textures for sprites and in coming releases we'll add dynamic sound effect generation support as well (like sfxr).

Access this via Game.create (this.game.create from within a Stateobject).

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
game	Phaser.Game	Game reference to the currently running game.

ctx

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
context	CanvasRenderingContext2D	The 2d context of the canvas.

Source - core/Create.js, line 38

game:Phaser.Game

A reference to the currently running Game.

palettes:array

A range of 16 color palettes for use with sprite generation.

copy(dest, x, y, width, height, blendMode, roundPx)→ {Phaser.BitmapData}

Copies the contents of Create's canvas to the given BitmapData object, or a new BitmapData object.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
dest	Phaser.BitmapData	<optional>		The BitmapData receiving the copied image.
x	number	<optional>	0	The x coordinate to translate to before drawing.
y	number	<optional>	0	The y coordinate to translate to before drawing.
width	number	<optional>		The new width of the Sprite being copied.
height	number	<optional>		The new height of the Sprite being copied.
blendMode	string	<optional>	null	The composite blend mode that will be used when drawing. The default is no blend mode at all. This is a Canvas globalCompositeOperation value such as 'lighter' or 'xor'.
roundPx	boolean	<optional>	false	Should the x and y values be rounded to integers before drawing? This prevents anti-aliasing in some instances.

Returns:

Phaser.BitmapData-

• The dest argument (if passed), or a new BitmapData object

grid(key,width, height, cellWidth, cellHeight, color, generateTexture, callback,

callbackContext)→ {PIXI.Texture|Phaser.BitmapData}

Creates a grid texture based on the given dimensions.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
key	string			The key used to store this texture in the Phaser Cache.
width	integer			The width of the grid in pixels.
height	integer			The height of the grid in pixels.
cellWidth	integer			The width of the grid cells in pixels.
cellHeight	integer			The height of the grid cells in pixels.
color	string			The color to draw the grid lines in. Should be a Canvas supported color string like #ff5500 or rgba(200,50,3,0.5).
generateTexture	boolean	<optional>	true	When false, a new BitmapData object is returned instead.
callback	function	<optional>		A function to execute once the texture is generated. It will be passed the newly generated texture.
callbackContext	any	<optional>		The context in which to invoke the callback.

Returns:

PIXI.Texture| Phaser.BitmapData-

The newly generated texture, or a new BitmapData object if generateTexture is false, or null if a callback was passed and the texture isn't available yet.

Source - core/Create.js, line 168

texture(key,data, pixelWidth, pixelHeight, palette, generateTexture, callback,

callbackContext)→ {PIXI.Texture|Phaser.BitmapData}

Generates a new PIXI.Texture from the given data, which can be applied to a Sprite.

This allows you to create game graphics quickly and easily, with no external files but that use actual proper images rather than Phaser.Graphics objects, which are expensive to render and limited in scope.

Each element of the array is a string holding the pixel color values, as mapped to one of the Phaser.Create PALETTE consts.

For example:

var data = [ ' 333 ', ' 777 ', 'E333E', ' 333 ', ' 3 3 ' ];

game.create.texture('bob', data);

The above will create a new texture called bob, which will look like a little man wearing a hat. You can then use it for sprites the same way you use any other texture: game.add.sprite(0, 0, 'bob');

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
key	string			The key used to store this texture in the Phaser Cache.
data	array			An array of pixel data.
pixelWidth	integer	<optional>	8	The width of each pixel.
pixelHeight	integer	<optional>	8	The height of each pixel.
palette	integer	<optional>	0	The palette to use when rendering the texture. One of the Phaser.Create.PALETTE consts.
generateTexture	boolean	<optional>	true	When false, a new BitmapData object is returned instead.
callback	function	<optional>		A function to execute once the texture is generated. It will be passed the newly generated texture.
callbackContext	any	<optional>		The context in which to invoke the callback.

Returns:

PIXI.Texture| Phaser.BitmapData-

The newly generated texture, or a new BitmapData object if generateTexture is false, or null if a callback was passed and the texture isn't available yet.
