# Phaser CE (Community Edition) - HTML5 Game Framework

<img src="http://phaser.io/images/github/arcade-cab.png" align="right">

Phaser is a fast, free, and fun open source HTML5 game framework. It uses a custom build of [Pixi.js](https://github.com/GoodBoyDigital/pixi.js/) for WebGL and Canvas rendering, and supports desktop and mobile web browsers. Games can be compiled to iOS, Android and native desktop apps via 3rd party tools. You can use JavaScript or TypeScript for development. Years after release, Phaser is still one of the [most starred](https://github.com/showcases/javascript-game-engines) game frameworks on GitHub.

Thousands of developers worldwide use Phaser. From indies and multi-national digital agencies, to schools and Universities. Each creating their own incredible [games](http://phaser.io/games/).

Phaser v2 was originally built and maintained by the company [Photon Storm](http://www.photonstorm.com), but was turned over to the community in November 2016.

<div align="center"><img src="http://phaser.io/images/github/phaser-ce.png"></div>

> 22nd November 2016

Today we hand over Phaser 2.7 to you, the awesome open source community, to maintain.

Phaser 2 was a massive milestone for us, and we're still constantly amazed at all the cool things you've created, and continue to create with it. Thank you to everyone who has submitted an issue or pull request over the years, or helped the framework grow in any shape or capacity.

As of today all of our in-house resources are spent on building Phaser 3 and beyond. However we fully recognize that lots of you still use Phaser 2, and have a lot to contribute to its future. So this is what we've done:

* Phaser 2.6.2 is the last 'official' release, published on npm as `phaser`
* Phaser 2.7.0 and all future versions have been given to the community to maintain, published on npm as `phaser-ce`

**All Pull Requests made against the `v2-community` version will be unconditionally approved**. We'll give GitHub permissions to a select few individuals to help with this process. When you, the community, request it, we will publish new versions to npm.

If you are migrating pull requests from the old folder structure, you might find the following process useful to migrate your PRs over to the new structure:

First, from your forked repo, make sure `master` is up to date by fetching upstream. To do this easily:

```
git checkout master
git reset --hard upstream/master
```

1. `cd` into your forked repo locally
2. `git checkout x` where `x` is your feature branch
3. `git rebase master`
4. `git push --force x` and then resubmit a PR on the GitHub UI

We believe this set-up will give us the best of both worlds. It will allow us to continue focusing our efforts on Phaser 3. And it will allow the community to enhance Phaser 2 for as long as they wish.

As always, check the [Change Log](#change-log) to see what was added recently.

Keep your eyes on the web site, and subscribe to the weekly Phaser World [newsletter](#newsletter). You can also follow on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/photonstorm), or chat in the Phaser [Slack](http://phaser.io/community/slack) and [Discord](http://phaser.io/community/discord) channels.

There are also now more ways than before to help [support](#support) the development of Phaser. The uptake so far has been fantastic, but this is an on-going mission. Thank you to everyone who supports our development. Who shares our belief in the future of HTML5 gaming, and Phasers role in that.

Happy coding everyone!

Cheers,

Rich - [@photonstorm](https://twitter.com/photonstorm)

### Mighty Editor - Visual Game Editor

[MightyEditor](http://mightyfingers.com/) is a browser-based visual Phaser game editor. Create your maps with ease, position objects and share them in seconds. It also exports to native Phaser code. Excellent for quickly setting-up levels and scenes.

![Building Phaser](http://phaser.io/images/github/div-building-phaser.png "Building Phaser")
<a name="building-phaser"></a>

Phaser is provided ready compiled in the `build` folder of the repository. There are both plain and minified versions. The plain version is for use during development, and the minified version for production. You can also create your own builds.

### Custom Builds

Phaser includes a grunt based build system, which allows you to strip out  features you may not require, saving hundreds of KB in the process. Don't use any Sound in your game? Then exclude the entire sound system. Don't need Keyboard support? That can be excluded too.

As a result of this work the minimum build size of Phaser is now just 80KB minified and gzipped.

See the [Creating a Custom Phaser Build](http://phaser.io/tutorials/creating-custom-phaser-builds) tutorial for details.

<a name="browserify"></a>
### Browserify / CJS

Phaser was never written to be modular. Everything exists under one single global namespace, and you cannot `require` selected parts of it into your builds. It expects 3 global vars to exist in order to work properly: `Phaser`, `PIXI` and `p2`. The following is one way of doing this:

```
window.PIXI = require('phaser/build/custom/pixi')
window.p2 = require('phaser/build/custom/p2')
window.Phaser = require('phaser/build/custom/phaser-split')
```

If you build a custom version of Phaser it will split the 3 core libs out into their own files, allowing you to require them as above.

We appreciate this is just a band-aid, and not a proper use of modules, but please understand it was never built to be used this way. You're trying to fit a square peg in a round browserify-shaped hole, so compromises have to be made. Please don't open GitHub issues about it as we've no intention of changing Phaser at this stage of its life. Full module based development is available in Phaser v3.

### Webpack

Starting from Phaser 2.4.5 we now include a custom build for Webpack.

You need to add `p2` as a dependency.

##### Webpack Config

```
var path = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');

var phaserModule = path.join(__dirname, '/node_modules/phaser/');
var phaser = path.join(phaserModule, 'build/custom/phaser-split.js'),
  pixi = path.join(phaserModule, 'build/custom/pixi.js'),
  p2 = path.join(phaserModule, 'build/custom/p2.js');

module.exports = {
    ...
    module: {
        loaders: [
            { test: /pixi.js/, loader: "script" },
        ]
    },
    resolve: {
        alias: {
            'phaser': phaser,
            'pixi.js': pixi,
            'p2': p2,
        }
    }
    ...
}
```

##### Main js file

```
require('pixi.js');
require('p2');
require('phaser');
```

### Building from source

Should you wish to build Phaser from source you can take advantage of the provided [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) scripts. Ensure you have the required packages by running `npm install` first.

Run `grunt` to perform a default build to the `dist` folder.

We add [new games](http://phaser.io/news/category/game) to the Phaser site weekly, so be sure to send us yours when it's finished!

![Requirements](http://phaser.io/images/github/div-requirements.png "Requirements")
<a name="requirements"></a>

Phaser requires a web browser that supports the [canvas tag](http://caniuse.com/#feat=canvas). This includes Internet Explorer 9+, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera on desktop. iOS Safari, Android Browser and Chrome for Android are supported on mobile.

While Phaser does its best to ensure a consistent cross-platform experience, always be aware of browser and device limitations. This is especially important with memory and GPU limitations on mobile, and legacy browser HTML5 compatibility.

### IE9

If you need to support IE9 / Android 2.x _and_ use P2 physics, then you must use the polyfill in the `resources/IE9 Polyfill` folder. If you don't use P2 (or don't care about IE9!) you can skip this.

### JavaScript and TypeScript

Phaser is developed in ES5 JavaScript. We've made no assumptions about how you like to code, and were careful not to impose a strict structure upon you. You won't find Phaser split into modules, requiring a build step, or making you use a class / inheritance OOP approach. That doesn't mean you can't do so, it just means we don't _force_ you to. It's your choice.

If you code with [TypeScript](http://www.typescriptlang.org/) there are comprehensive definition files in the `typescript` folder. They are for TypeScript 1.4+.

![Change Log](http://phaser.io/images/github/div-change-log.png "Change Log")
<a name="change-log"></a>

## Version 2.7.2 - 6th December 2016

### New Features

* Added feature: set character limit with suffix

### Updates

* Clarification of fixedToCamera semantics
* change Emitter.gravity from number to Phaser.Point
* Fixed issue causing tsc to crap out under certain circumstances

### Bug Fixes

* removeTextureAtlas now deletes the correct cache object.

## Version 2.7.1 - 28th November 2016

### Updates

* Added a third optional parameter to PIXI.BaseTexture allowing textures to be scaled according to devicePixelRatio (thanks @cloakedninjas)
* TypeScript definitions fixes and updates (thanks @Aleksey-Danchin)

### Bug Fixes

* Phaser.AnimationParser.spriteSheet() now works like it is supposed to work (thanks @stoneman1, @qarlosh)
* EarCut was not included in the build because of wrong path in grunt tasks. It should  now work (thanks @stoneman1)
* Some browsers uses CancelRequestAnimationFrame instead of CancelAnimationFrame and it is now fixed (thanks @stoneman1)

## Version 2.7.0 - "World's End" - 22nd November 2016

### New Features

* Multiple Batched Texture support is now available. This is a WebGL feature that can seriously decrease the volume of draw calls made in complex, or asset heavy, games. To enable it you can either use the new renderer type `Phaser.WEBGL_MULTI`, or you can pass the property `multiTexture: true` in a Phaser.Game configuration object. Once enabled, it cannot be disabled.
* `game.renderer.setTexturePriority` is the method that goes with the Multiple Texture support. It takes an array as its single argument. The array consists of Phaser.Cache image key strings. Phaser will then try to batch as many of the textures as it can, depending on the hardware limits. If for example the GPU can only batch 8 textures, and you provide an array of 16, then only the first 8 in the array will be batched.
* Phaser now supports Compressed Textures under WebGL. It will handle loading PVRTC, DDS, ETC1, KTX and PKM texture formats, and supports PVRTC, S3TC and ETC1 compression formats, with a TrueColor fallback for standard PNGs. Using compressed textures allows the GPU to decode, and access, the texture data much faster than traditional image compression schemes such as JPEG. iOS devices in particular benefit greatly from using PowerVR Texture Compression (PVRTC). The resulting textures take up less memory than their traditional counterparts, and when it comes to iOS, every bit of memory helps! Look at the new `Loader.texture` method for details on using this. You can also pass a file object to `Loader.image`, again, please see the docs for details.
* Support for Rotated Frames in Texture Atlases is now included for WebGL and Canvas. If you use software such as Texture Packer, you may now enable the 'Allow Rotation' checkbox, which can often help getting smaller, or more compact, atlases. As a result, the `Texture.rotated` and `Frame.rotated` properties are now in use.
* `Frame.rotationDirection` has been removed. It isn't needed, as modern texture packers only rotate 90 degrees clockwise anyway, and Phaser only supports this rotation direction.
* Weapon.multiFire is a new property that allows you to set a Weapon as being allowed to call `fire` as many times as you like, per game loop. This allows a single Weapon instance to fire multiple bullets.
* Weapon.fire has two new arguments: `offsetX` and `offsetY`. If the bullet is fired from a tracked Sprite or Pointer, or the `from` argument is set, this applies a horizontal and vertical offset from the launch position.
* Weapon.fireOffset attempts to fire a single Bullet from a tracked Sprite or Pointer, but applies an offset to the position first. This is a shorter form of calling `Weapon.fire` and passing in the offset arguments.
* Weapon.fireMany attempts to fire multiple bullets from the positions defined in the given array. If you provide a `from` argument, or if there is a tracked Sprite or Pointer, then the positions are treated as __offsets__ from the given objects position. If `from` is undefined, and there is no tracked object, then the bullets are fired from the given positions, as they exist in the world.
* When loading a Sprite Sheet you can now specify the number of frames to skip, as the frames are extracted from the sheet and converted to Frames (thanks @arefiev #2763)
* Math.random returns a random float in the range given (thanks @JTronLabs #2760)
* Text.splitRegExp is a new property that allows you to control the regular expression that is used to split the text into multiple lines (thanks @dai-shi #1403)
* Cache.addBitmapFontFromAtlas allows you to add a Bitmap Font to the Cache, that is comprised of a frame from a Texture Atlas, and the font data (in JSON or XML format). Once added you can use the Bitmap Font in the same way as you would any Bitmap Font (#2614)

### Updates

* TypeScript definitions fixes and updates (thanks @chriteixeira @StealthC @Lopdo @nickdbush)
* Docs typo fixes (thanks @JTronLabs @samme @jorgesumle)
* `Phaser.Line.fromSprite` now uses the Sprite.centerX and centerY properties if the `useCenter` argument is true. Before it required you to have overridden the Sprite and added the property yourself (thanks @samme #2729)
* Updated the pointer check code in the Device class, to get rid of the message `Navigator.pointerEnabled is a non-standard API added for experiments only. It will be removed in near future.` in Chrome.
* The P2 Physics library has been updated to 0.7.1. This is still quite out of date, but as soon as they release their latest build (hopefully soon) we'll update to that.
* Math.between has been strengthened and the docs improved (thanks @JTronLabs #2760)
* Camera.fade has a new argument `alpha` to control the alpha level of the effect (thanks @rgk #2493)
* Camera.flash has a new argument `alpha` to control the alpha level of the effect (thanks @rgk #2493)
* Phaser.SpriteBatch was incorrectly applying the prototypes, causing the Sprite Batch render methods to be replaced by the normal DisplayObjectContainer ones, meaning nothing was really batched at all. This has now been fixed, and PIXI.SpriteBatch removed, as it's no longer required.
* PIXI.RenderTexture has been removed, and all functionality merged in to Phaser.RenderTexture, to cut down on the number of internal classes and inheritance going on.
* PIXI.TilingSprite has been removed, and all functionality merged in to Phaser.TileSprite, to cut down on the number of internal classes and inheritance going on.
* PIXI.CanvasPool has been moved into the Phaser `utils` folder, and renamed to `Phaser.CanvasPool`. All references to PIXI.CanvasPool have been updated to match the new namespace.
* PIXI.EarCut has been moved into the Phaser `utils` folder, and renamed to `Phaser.EarCut`. All references to PIXI.EarCut have been updated to match the new namespace.
* Device.canHandleAlpha is a new boolean property that stores is the browser is capable of tinting with alpha.
* Device.canUseMultiply is a new boolean property that stores whether or not the Canvas BlendModes are supported, consequently the ability to tint using the multiply method.
* Math.getNextPowerOfTwo will get the next power of two for the given value.
* Math.isPowerOfTwo will return a boolean if the given width and height are a power of two.
* Color.hexToRGBArray converts a hex color value to an [R, G, B] array.
* Color.RGBArrayToHex converts an RGB color array, in the format: [R, G, B], to a hex color value.
* PIXI.AbstractFilter has been merged into the Phaser.Filter class. All references to PIXI.AbstractFilter have been updated to use Phaser.Filter instead.
* PIXI.Rope and PIXI.Strip have been removed, and all functionality merged in to Phaser.Rope, to cut down on the number of internal classes and inheritance going on.
* PIXI.Graphics and PIXI.GraphicsData have been removed, and all functionality merged in to Phaser.Graphics, to cut down on the number of internal classes and inheritance going on.
* WebGLGraphics and CanvasGraphics have been updated so that it checks for Phaser Geometry shape types internally.
* PIXI.PI_2 has been removed, because it's available via Phaser.Math.PI2. The only place PI_2 was used has been updated to now use PI2.
* The polyfills.js file now polyfills in for Float32Array, Uint16Array and ArrayBuffer.
* PIXI.Float32Array, PIXI.Uint16Array, PIXI.Uint32Array and PIXI.ArrayBuffer have all been removed, and replaced with their own proper native versions. The polyfill now captures any instances where the browser needs to fall back to an Array instead.


### Bug Fixes

* `DisplayObjectContainer.removeChildren` was incorrectly using the `begin` var, instead of `beginIndex` (thanks @alex-espinoza #2742 #2741)
* Camera.fx is tested to see if it exists, before resetting it (thanks @samme #2739 #2738)
* The Weapon Plugin will no longer crash if the Weapon's bullets have not yet been initialized before setting a new bullet class (thanks @JTronLabs #2731)
* Groups with `fixedToCamera` set on them now factor in the camera scale (thanks @kevinAlbs #2771)
* Text.width and Text.height now divide the result by the Text.resolution, to avoid incorrect dimensions on High DPI devices (thanks @mattahj #2146)
* If you called Video.changeSource, and then immediately called Video.play after it, it would fire the `onComplete` event twice (thanks @jaraiza #2543)
* The Video.playing property didn't check to see if the Video existed, and would throw the error `Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'paused' of null` if you called it after destroying the video (thanks @Tetley #2740)
* Fixed bug in DisplayObject where it was using `PI_2` instead of `PI2`.

### Pixi Updates

Please note that Phaser uses a custom build of Pixi and always has done. The following changes have been made to our custom build, not to Pixi in general.

* WebGL Renderer and shaders updated to support multi-texture batching (see main docs above)
* WebGL and Canvas both now support rotated texture atlas frames.
* WebGL support for compressed texture formats added.
* PIXI.SpriteBatch has been removed as it's no longer used internally.

* PIXI.AbstractFilter has been removed as it's no longer used internally. All functionality is now available via Phaser.Filter.
* PIXI.Strip and PIXI.Rope have been removed. All functionality is now available via Phaser.Rope.
* PIXI.Graphics and PIXI.GraphicsData have been removed. All functionality is now available via Phaser.Graphics. The respective renderers have been updated.
* PIXI.PI_2, PIXI.RAD_TO_DEG and PIXI.DEG_TO_RAD have all been removed, as they are no longer used internally, and are all available under Phaser.Math.
* PIXI.RETINA_PREFIX has been removed, as it was never used anywhere internally.
* PIXI._UID has been removed, all affected classes now use Phaser._UID.
