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(...

How to make a html5 breakout game in JavaScript

-
In this tutorial i will walk through the  process of developing a simple breakout game in JavaScript using html5 canvas I'll be using craters.js a compact html5 game engine. in every step i will first explain the procedure in a less technical method later I'll include the snippets of the actual game , a link to the github repository and a live working demo. 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 wait for a promise within a loop block

-
JavaScript promises enable developers to write asynchronous applications in JavaScript Loops are ways of iterating elements For instance doing an asynchronous task within a for loop can be done as follows; Note that lag is used to emulate some delay. const items = [1, 2, 3, 4] const lag = async (delay) => {     return new Promise((resolve) =>         setTimeout(() => res(`${delay / 1000} sec`), delay)) } items.forEach(async (item) => {     const seconds = await lag(1000 * item)     console.log(seconds) }) expected output 1 sec 2 sec 3 sec 4 sec After running the code above every second some text was printed
