  • emit(eventName: string, event?: any): void

publicisLoaded

  • isLoaded(): boolean

  • Returns true if the loader has completely loaded all resources

    Returns boolean

  • off(eventName: string): void

publicon

publiconAfterLoad

  • onAfterLoad(): Promise<void>

  • Overridable lifecycle method, called after loading has completed

    Returns Promise<void>

publiconBeforeLoad

  • onBeforeLoad(): Promise<void>

  • Overridable lifecycle method, called directly before loading starts

    Returns Promise<void>

onDraw

  • onDraw(ctx: CanvasRenderingContext2D): void

  • Optionally override the onDraw

    Parameters

    • ctx: CanvasRenderingContext2D

    Returns void

publiconInitialize

  • onInitialize(engine: Engine<any>): void

  • Called by the engine before loading

    Parameters

    Returns void

onUpdate

  • onUpdate(engine: Engine<any>, elapsedMilliseconds: number): void

  • Optionally override the onUpdate

    Parameters

    • engine: Engine<any>
    • elapsedMilliseconds: number

    Returns void

publiconUserAction

  • onUserAction(): Promise<void>
