Examples

Example 1

We create a core instance and a text object, but we don't add it to the canvas. Then we create a new scene called menu. We pass a function as the init argument. Inside of that we add our text object to the scene. Then finally we load our scene, and our text object is added to canvas.

var canvas = oCanvas.create({
	canvas: "#canvas",
	background: "#ccc"
});

var startGame = canvas.display.text({
	x: 177,
	y: 170,
	origin: { x: "center", y: "top" },
	align: "center",
	font: "bold 30px sans-serif",
	text: "Start Game!",
	fill: "#000"
});

canvas.scenes.create("menu", function () {
	this.add(startGame);
});

canvas.scenes.load("menu");
