Introduction

We can split 2D game creation in 2 primary workflow.

• Tile Based
• Sprite Based

Concept of Preloading

Game world is pretty fast paced, so any delay in loading of asset or registration of key press can result in weird behaviour or bugs/glitches in game.

To make sure all the assets loads on time we do preloading of assets which mean all the assets necessary for the game are loaded into RAM before even the game begin.

This make sure there won't be any lag because of the asset.

From Sprite sheet to Game Object

This can basically be done in 2 steps.

• Extracting the entity from sprite sheet
• Placing the extracted entity in Game

Using pixi.pomle.com we can find the x, y, width and height of any subarea in the image.

• This cames handy when we have to find where to extract out enities from the spritesheet.

Concept of Gameloop

Gameloop has 3 major functioning i.e. init, update, reset.

Init

• Preload Assets
• Init Game Object
