Game world is 2d space with zero friction and zero gravity in order to avoid applying acceleration to the entities periodically maybe this will be changed later. First entity is a ball an entity with zero friction that upon colliding with an obstacle such as a block, paddle or the the screen boundaries bounces back in the opposite direction the bouncing from left to the right side of the screen is implemented by if(position.x  + radius < 0) // bounce if(velocity > 0) return; // moving velocity *= -1; // change direction direction is only changed if the ball tries to move  beyond the zero position. i have t...

How to resume a suspended web audio api context

A quick JavaScript function to maneuver around Google chrome, Firefox and safari web audio context suspension state Starting from chrome v{xx} Google chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Apple safari web browsers automatically suspend html5 web audio contexts if they start without any user gesture they can only be resumed by a user gesture it's a measure implemented to improve overall user experience. context.state property stores the state of the audio context when it's suspended it's value changes to "suspended". in order to implant a maneuver first check the state of the context should it be suspended literate an array of events for each add an event listener on the document body and remove the event if one of the events has been triggered by the user let unlockAudio = function(context) {     if (context.state === 'suspended') {         let events = ['touchstart', 'touchend', 'mousedown', 'keydown']         let unlock = function(...
