    Hello & Thanks , I am getting 'Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier' on : Cowpie.prototype.update = function() { for (var i = cowpies.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { cowpieCount = i ; if (cowpies[i].cowpie.idActive) { self.y = self.y+ (self.speedY * self.directionY); // always -1 } } else { cowpies[i].pop(this.cowpie);} } } and if I comment the above out , then I get same for : var cowpie = new Cowpie(); and so on , down the line . Until I dismiss the whole section below . var Cowpie = (function () { var self = this; this.idTag = 'cowpie'; this.idActive = true; this.x = thrower.x; this.y = thrower.y; this.width= 64; this.height = 64; this.speedX = 0; this.speedY = 5; this.visible = true; this.directionY = -1; this.moveMe = false ; } // Cowpie.prototype.update = function() { for (var i = cowpies.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { cowpieCount = i ; if (cowpies[i].cowpie.idActive) { self.y = self.y+ (self.speedY * self.directionY); // always -1 } } else { cowpies[i].pop(this.cowpie);} } } // var cowpie = new Cowpie(); // var Thrower = function () { var self = this; this.idTag = 'thrower'; this.x = (canvas.width / 2); this.y = canvas.height - 64; this.width= 64; this.height = 64; this.speedX = 1; this.speedY = 0; this.visible = true; this.directionX = 5; this.moveMe = false ; } Thrower.prototype.update = function() { self.x = self.x + (self.speedX * self.directionX); // always either +1 or -1 } } // var thrower = new Thrower(); thrower.idTag ; // = 'thrower'; // function startGame() { myGameArea.start(); }

    Hello & Thanks , In my game , I check for leftArrow and rightArrow down to move sprite (Thrower) , and also for keyup , to stop movement . But I am getting sprite movement pauses on all keydown ? Is there a way to speed things up ? See/run game (so far) : http://liesandcowpies.com/javascript/BenghaziGame-starter-04-ThrowerONLY.html Thanks
  4. vmars316
    Yes , like this : var Thrower = function () { var self = this; this.idTag = 'thrower'; this.x = (canvas.width / 2); this.y = canvas.height - 64; this.width= 64; this.height = 64; this.speedX = 1; this.speedY = 0; this.visible = true; this.directionX = 5; this.moveMe = false ; this.update = function() { self.x = self.x + (self.speedX * self.directionX); // always either +1 or -1 } self.moveMe = false ; } } Thanks

    Thanks Folks , Foxy: I set up this: var Thrower = function() { var self = this; ? outside of Thrower/thrower methods , can I use Thrower.x anywhere ? Human: Thanks , directionX did solve the moving problem .

    Sorry to say , neither < > nor [ code][ /code] are working for me . Is there a limit on how many < > Post ?
  7. vmars316
    Hello & Thanks , 1) Are the following objects set up correctly ? function startGame() { var Thrower = function () { this.idTag = 'thrower'; this.x = 0; this.y = canvas.height - 64; this.width= 64; this.height = 64; this.speedX = 1; this.speedY = 0; this.visible = true; this.direction = 1; this.moveMe = false ; this.update = function() { // this.x = this.x + (this.speedX * this.directionX); // always = +1 or -1 } thrower.x = this.x + (this.speedX * this.directionX); // always = +1 or -1 } this.moveMe = false; // thrower.moveMe = false; } } // thrower = new Thrower(); thrower.idTag = 'thrower'; thrower.x = 0; thrower.y = canvas.height - 64; thrower.width= 64; thrower.height = 64; thrower.speedX = 1; thrower.speedY = 0; thrower.visible = true ; thrower.direction = 1; thrower.moveMe = true ; myGameArea.start(); } 2) Why am I getting a 'NaN' from : /*120*/ document.getElementById("thrower.xywh").innerHTML = thrower.x; See full code (178 lines) below: Sorry to say , neither <> icon nor [ code][ /code], are working for me , is there a limit on how many <> in one Post ? Thanks

    Awesome , now they both work , locally and online . THANKS

    Hmm... Yes , that's interesting . this one: <input type="button" onclick="window.reload(); return false;" value="click me" /> </a> runs fine , locally , no errors . This one run locally , gives this error: <input type="button" onclick="window.reload(); return false;" value="click me" /> mozilla.org-Breakout-All-ReadOnly-vmTest01.html:18 Uncaught TypeError: window.reload is not a function Run online: they both get errors: <input type="button" onclick="window.reload(); return false;" value="click me" /> </a> mozilla.org-Breakout-All-ReadOnly-vmTest01.html:16 Uncaught TypeError: window.reload is not a functiononclick @ mozilla.org-Breakout-All-ReadOnly-vmTest01.html:16 <input type="button" onclick="window.reload(); return false;" value="click me" /> mozilla.org-Breakout-All-ReadOnly-vmTest01.html:18 Uncaught TypeError: window.reload is not a function The surrounding code looks like this: I can Post the whole code if you like , its 196 lines . You can run it here: http://liesandcowpies.com/javascript/mozilla.org-Breakout-All-ReadOnly-vmTest01.html It's the breakout game , with a few additions . Thanks

    Hello & Thanks , I would like to know why this doesn't work: <input type="button" onclick="window.reload(); return false;" value="click me" /> but this does: Thanks

    Ouch . Sorry , my dyslexia gets the best of me sometimes . I've seen the term 'bbcode' . Until , you used the term 'bbcode' in this context , I didn't realize that this markup is called 'bbcode' . Also , it would be more clear (to me) if the icons used above were ' ' and '

    Oops , its not working for me . Pls , what am I doing wrong ? <code> function continueOrCancel(){ var x; var r = confirm(" function continueOrCancel() \nPress OK to continue...\nElse\nPress Cancel to Abort javascript ."); if (r == true) { alert("You pressed OK! Let's Continue..."); } else { if(true){alert(" function continueOrCancel()\nInside ELSE , r= " + r); return; } } } <code> Thanks

    Hello & Thanks , When I copy code from , for example , http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_win_open3 and paste it into my notepad++ *.html , it won't run . What I have to do is paste it into a wordpad *.text , then a save the file as 'DOS *.txt' , then copy that file & paste it into a notepad++ *.html file . then save that file . And voila , it runs fine . So , my question is : What format are the ' http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename= ' files in ? And is there an easier way to do this ? Thanks
  14. vmars316
    Hey , that's much better . Thanks
  15. vmars316
    Oh , I interpreted "(spaces before code intentional)." to mean this is how to do it . Thanks

    It is supposed to Exit the script . which it does , always , all browsers .

    thescientist ; Hello & Thanks , Learning javascript from w3schools , I often the code there as a starting point . But what happens when , I ask a question regarding code , I often paste that code into the question text . But when I use the < code> or < quote> icons , often times it deletes part of the code . For example , here is some code as regular text : // function writeTraceLog(oneTraceLine){ document.getElementById("traceMsg").innerHTML += ( "<br> " + oneTraceLine); } // function continueOrCancel(){ var txt; var r = confirm("Press OK to continue... Else... Press Cancel to Abort javascript ."); if (r == true) { txt = "You pressed OK!\n let's continue..."; } else { } } // Here is the same code using < code> icon : Well, well , it usually just deletes a few lines here and there . Today it deleted the whole code . The problem is further troublesome , because it looks normal in the Edit and Preview window . It isn't evident til I look at what actually gets posted . Here is the same code as < quote> : Hmm , its working today . Here is the same code plugging in the < code> manually : < code> // function writeTraceLog(oneTraceLine){ document.getElementById("traceMsg").innerHTML += ( "<br> " + oneTraceLine); } // function continueOrCancel(){ var txt; var r = confirm("Press OK to continue... Else... Press Cancel to Abort javascript ."); if (r == true) { txt = "You pressed OK!\n let's continue..."; } else { } } // </ code> Hmm... The code is there , but no colored background . Anyways , just thought I would mention it .

    addendum: BTW: The abort code above sometimes doesn't work , so I wrote new code here : http://liesandcowpies.com/javascript/abortJS.html I tried to Post it here , but couldn't get <code> or quote to work .
  19. vmars316
    Ah Thanks ! The += in document.getElementById("traceMsg").innerHTML += (oneTraceLine + "<br>"); is the piece I was missig . The whole code now works great and looks like :

  21. vmars316
    Same deal , it overlays each line .
  22. vmars316
    Pls then , will you show me an example of what I should use ? If I remove JUST the canvas element and leave in the <p id="traceLog" > writeTraceLog <br></p> <img id="scream" src="http://www.w3schools..._the_scream.jpg" alt="The Scream" width="220" height="277"> it prints , but overlays itself . Thanks
  23. vmars316
    Hello & Thanks , I am trying to show a log from js to html page . document.write(oneTraceLine + " <br>");} But with the canvas element present , I don't seem to be able to do that . The scaled down code exerpt below is an example of what I am trying to do , but actual js code is much much larger . What can I do to get this puppy working ? I am having trouble getting the <code> tags to work . So , I'll try QUOTES next :

    Ah , very cool ! Thanks davej
