Phaser Controls

Gameplay and Operation Instructions:

1. Setting Up a Game Scene:

   • Initiate a Phaser game by creating a new Phaser.Game object.
   • Define the game dimensions, renderer (Canvas or WebGL), and container.

2. Game States:

   • Use Phaser's state management to separate game logic into distinct stages.
   • Define states like Preload, Create, and Update to manage the game flow.

3. Loading Assets:

   • Use the preload function to load images, audio, and other required assets.
   • Example: this.load.image('sprite', 'path/to/image.png');

4. Creating Sprites:

   • Add sprites to the game world using this.add.sprite(x, y, 'key').
   • Manage animations with the animations property and methods like add and play.

5. Handling Input:

   • Capture input using Phaser’s input manager for keyboard, mouse, or touch controls.
   • Implement handlers: this.input.keyboard.addKey(Phaser.Keyboard.SPACEBAR).

6. Physics and Collisions:

   • Enable physics using Arcade, P2, or Ninja systems.
   • Example: this.physics.arcade.enable(sprite);
   • Handle collisions with this.physics.arcade.collide(object1, object2);

7. Game Loop:

   • create function initializes the game world.
   • update function runs and checks the game logic every frame.
   • Use render to debug or draw additional graphics.
