Features

Original Design

The core of any game, original design with sprites made in PiskellApp and backgrounds made in Inkscape

Dynamic motion

Cappy can run, jump, and even sit through keyboard Event Listeners. As demoed below, the code for these movements is kept clean and concise through toggling the frame of the spritesheet based on conditionals. This allows for a more varied range of movements and an easier way to continuously build:

function makeHimWalk(){
    if( player.frameX < 3 && player.frameY === 0 && player.moving){
        player.frameX ++;
    } else if( player.frameX < 3 && player.frameY === 1 && player.moving){
        player.frameX ++;
    } else if(player.frameX < 3 && player.frameY === 2 ){
        player.frameX ++;
    }else if(player.frameX < 3 && player.frameY === 3 ){
        player.frameX ++;
    } 
    else {
        player.frameX = 0 && player.frameY === 0;
    };
}

function makeHimJump() {
    if(player.frameX < 3 && player.frameY === 4){
        player.frameX ++
    }else if(player.jumping === true && player.y > 600) {
        player.frameX ++;
    }else if(player.moving === false && player.y <= 601){
        player.jumping === false
    }
}
