I cannot figure out how to create several objects from the main object
Here is what i am trying to do:
var player = {
var totalScore = 0;
var playing = true;
function checkScore() {
if (totalScore >= 100) {
playing = false;
}
};
};
player playerAI = new player();
player playerOne = new player();
I've re-written your code as a Constructor in JavaScript
function Player() {
this.totalScore = 0; // `this` will refer to the instance
this.playing = true;
}
Player.prototype.checkScore = function () { // the prototype is for shared methods
if (this.totalScore >= 100) { // that every instance will inherit
this.playing = false;
}
};
var playerAI = new Player(),
playerOne = new Player();
Some of your code patterns don't look like JavaScript though, are you sure you're not using a different language? (such as Java)
try this :
var player = function() {
this.totalScore = 0;
this.checkScore = function() {
if (totalScore >= 100) {
playing = false;
}
};
player playerAI = new player();
player playerOne = new player();
I'm not sure if this is what you want:
function player() {
var totalScore = 0;
var playing = true;
return {
checkScore: function checkScore() {
if (totalScore >= 100) {
playing = false;
}
}
}
};
var playerAI = new player();
var playerOne = new player();
// Define a constructor function
var Player = function () {
// This acts as public property
this.playing = true;
// This acts as public method
this.isPlaying = function (){
return this.playing;
};
};
Usage:
var player1 = new Player();
console.log(player1.isPlaying());
Note: It's better to declare your methods as properties of the Player.prototype object. (For memory saving)
Player.protoype.isPlaying = function (){
return this.playing;
};
