Details

Properties

EVENT_HIDE

Event triggered when game hide to background. Please note that this event is not 100% guaranteed to be fired on Web platform, on native platforms, it corresponds to enter background event, os status bar or notification center may not trigger this event.

Examples

cc.game.on(cc.game.EVENT_HIDE, function () {
    cc.audioEngine.pauseMusic();
    cc.audioEngine.pauseAllEffects();
});

EVENT_SHOW

Event triggered when game back to foreground Please note that this event is not 100% guaranteed to be fired on Web platform, on native platforms, it corresponds to enter foreground event.

EVENT_RESTART

Event triggered when game restart

EVENT_GAME_INITED

Event triggered after game inited, at this point all engine objects and game scripts are loaded

EVENT_ENGINE_INITED

Event triggered after engine inited, at this point you will be able to use all engine classes. It was defined as EVENT_RENDERER_INITED in cocos creator v1.x and renamed in v2.0

RENDER_TYPE_CANVAS

Web Canvas 2d API as renderer backend

RENDER_TYPE_WEBGL

WebGL API as renderer backend

RENDER_TYPE_OPENGL

OpenGL API as renderer backend

frame

The outer frame of the game canvas, parent of game container.

container

The container of game canvas.

canvas

The canvas of the game.

renderType

The renderer backend of the game.

config

The current game configuration, including:

1. debugMode
   "debugMode" possible values :
   0 - No message will be printed.
   1 - cc.error, cc.assert, cc.warn, cc.log will print in console.
   2 - cc.error, cc.assert, cc.warn will print in console.
   3 - cc.error, cc.assert will print in console.
   4 - cc.error, cc.assert, cc.warn, cc.log will print on canvas, available only on web.
   5 - cc.error, cc.assert, cc.warn will print on canvas, available only on web.
   6 - cc.error, cc.assert will print on canvas, available only on web.
   
2. showFPS
   Left bottom corner fps information will show when "showFPS" equals true, otherwise it will be hide.
   
3. exposeClassName
   Expose class name to chrome debug tools, the class intantiate performance is a little bit slower when exposed.
   
4. frameRate
   "frameRate" set the wanted frame rate for your game, but the real fps depends on your game implementation and the running environment.
   
5. id
   "gameCanvas" sets the id of your canvas element on the web page, it's useful only on web.
   
6. renderMode
   "renderMode" sets the renderer type, only useful on web :
   0 - Automatically chosen by engine
   1 - Forced to use canvas renderer
   2 - Forced to use WebGL renderer, but this will be ignored on mobile browsers
   
7. scenes
   "scenes" include available scenes in the current bundle.
   
   Please DO NOT modify this object directly, it won't have any effect.
   

Methods

onStart

Callback when the scripts of engine have been load.

setFrameRate

Set frame rate of game.

Parameters

• frameRate Number

getFrameRate

Get frame rate set for the game, it doesn't represent the real frame rate.

step

Run the game frame by frame.

pause

Pause the game main loop. This will pause: game logic execution, rendering process, event manager, background music and all audio effects. This is different with cc.director.pause which only pause the game logic execution.

resume

Resume the game from pause. This will resume: game logic execution, rendering process, event manager, background music and all audio effects.

isPaused

Check whether the game is paused.

restart

Restart game.

end

End game, it will close the game window

on

Register an callback of a specific event type on the game object. This type of event should be triggered via emit.

Parameters

• type String A string representing the event type to listen for.
• callback Function The callback that will be invoked when the event is dispatched.

                         The callback is ignored if it is a duplicate (the callbacks are unique).
  

  • arg1 Any arg1
  • arg2 Any arg2
  • arg3 Any arg3
  • arg4 Any arg4
  • arg5 Any arg5
• target Object The target (this object) to invoke the callback, can be null

once

Register an callback of a specific event type on the game object, the callback will remove itself after the first time it is triggered.

Parameters

• type String A string representing the event type to listen for.
• callback Function The callback that will be invoked when the event is dispatched.

                         The callback is ignored if it is a duplicate (the callbacks are unique).
  

  • arg1 Any arg1
  • arg2 Any arg2
  • arg3 Any arg3
  • arg4 Any arg4
  • arg5 Any arg5
• target Object The target (this object) to invoke the callback, can be null

prepare

Prepare game.

Parameters

• cb Function

run

Run game with configuration object and onStart function.

Parameters

• config Object Pass configuration object or onStart function
• onStart Function function to be executed after game initialized

addPersistRootNode

Add a persistent root node to the game, the persistent node won't be destroyed during scene transition.
The target node must be placed in the root level of hierarchy, otherwise this API won't have any effect.

Parameters

• node Node The node to be made persistent

removePersistRootNode

Remove a persistent root node.

Parameters

• node Node The node to be removed from persistent node list

isPersistRootNode

Check whether the node is a persistent root node.

Parameters

• node Node The node to be checked

hasEventListener

Checks whether the EventTarget object has any callback registered for a specific type of event.

Parameters

• type String The type of event.

off

Removes the listeners previously registered with the same type, callback, target and or useCapture, if only type is passed as parameter, all listeners registered with that type will be removed.

Parameters

• type String A string representing the event type being removed.
• callback Function The callback to remove.
• target Object The target (this object) to invoke the callback, if it's not given, only callback without target will be removed

Examples

// register fire eventListener
var callback = eventTarget.on('fire', function () {
    cc.log("fire in the hole");
}, target);
// remove fire event listener
eventTarget.off('fire', callback, target);
// remove all fire event listeners
eventTarget.off('fire');

targetOff

Removes all callbacks previously registered with the same target (passed as parameter). This is not for removing all listeners in the current event target, and this is not for removing all listeners the target parameter have registered. It's only for removing all listeners (callback and target couple) registered on the current event target by the target parameter.

Parameters

• target Object The target to be searched for all related listeners

emit

Trigger an event directly with the event name and necessary arguments.

Parameters

• type String event type
• arg1 Any First argument
• arg2 Any Second argument
• arg3 Any Third argument
• arg4 Any Fourth argument
• arg5 Any Fifth argument

Examples

eventTarget.emit('fire', event);
eventTarget.emit('fire', message, emitter);

dispatchEvent

Send an event with the event object.

Parameters

• event Event
