Canvas Game HTML

Hey guys, in this tutorial I will share with you that how can you create a Game using HTML Canvas.

As I already told you in our previous tutorial that canvas element is only the container for graphics. To actually draw the graphics you must make use of scripting language like JavaScript. So here we will make use of JavaScript to create a Game.

In an Example below let’s write a code to create a game:

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
<style>
canvas {
    border:1px solid #d3d3d3;
    background-color: #000000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body onload="startGame()">
<script>

var myGamePiece;
var myObstacles = [];
var myScore;

function startGame() {
    myGamePiece = new component(30, 30, "green", 10, 120);
    myGamePiece.gravity = 0.05;
    myScore = new component("30px", "Consolas", "white", 280, 40, "text");
    myGameArea.start();
}

var myGameArea = {
    canvas : document.createElement("canvas"),
    start : function() {
        this.canvas.width = 480;
        this.canvas.height = 270;
        this.context = this.canvas.getContext("2d");
        document.body.insertBefore(this.canvas, document.body.childNodes[0]);
        this.frameNo = 0;
        this.interval = setInterval(updateGameArea, 20);
        },
    clear : function() {
        this.context.clearRect(0, 0, this.canvas.width, this.canvas.height);
    }
}

function component(width, height, color, x, y, type) {
    this.type = type;
    this.score = 0;
    this.width = width;
    this.height = height;
    this.speedX = 0;
    this.speedY = 0;    
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
    this.gravity = 0;
    this.gravitySpeed = 0;
    this.update = function() {
        ctx = myGameArea.context;
        if (this.type == "text") {
            ctx.font = this.width + " " + this.height;
            ctx.fillStyle = color;
            ctx.fillText(this.text, this.x, this.y);
        } else {
            ctx.fillStyle = color;
            ctx.fillRect(this.x, this.y, this.width, this.height);
        }
    }
    this.newPos = function() {
        this.gravitySpeed += this.gravity;
        this.x += this.speedX;
        this.y += this.speedY + this.gravitySpeed;
        this.hitBottom();
    }
    this.hitBottom = function() {
        var rockbottom = myGameArea.canvas.height - this.height;
        if (this.y > rockbottom) {
            this.y = rockbottom;
            this.gravitySpeed = 0;
        }
    }
    this.crashWith = function(otherobj) {
        var myleft = this.x;
        var myright = this.x + (this.width);
        var mytop = this.y;
        var mybottom = this.y + (this.height);
        var otherleft = otherobj.x;
        var otherright = otherobj.x + (otherobj.width);
        var othertop = otherobj.y;
        var otherbottom = otherobj.y + (otherobj.height);
        var crash = true;
        if ((mybottom < othertop) || (mytop > otherbottom) || (myright < otherleft) || (myleft > otherright)) {
            crash = false;
        }
        return crash;
    }
}

function updateGameArea() {
    var x, height, gap, minHeight, maxHeight, minGap, maxGap;
    for (i = 0; i < myObstacles.length; i += 1) {
        if (myGamePiece.crashWith(myObstacles[i])) {
            return;
        } 
    }
    myGameArea.clear();
    myGameArea.frameNo += 1;
    if (myGameArea.frameNo == 1 || everyinterval(150)) {
        x = myGameArea.canvas.width;
        minHeight = 20;
        maxHeight = 200;
        height = Math.floor(Math.random()*(maxHeight-minHeight+1)+minHeight);
        minGap = 50;
        maxGap = 200;
        gap = Math.floor(Math.random()*(maxGap-minGap+1)+minGap);
        myObstacles.push(new component(10, height, "red", x, 0));
        myObstacles.push(new component(10, x - height - gap, "red", x, height + gap));
    }
    for (i = 0; i < myObstacles.length; i += 1) {
        myObstacles[i].x += -1;
        myObstacles[i].update();
    }
    myScore.text="SCORE: " + myGameArea.frameNo;
    myScore.update();
    myGamePiece.newPos();
    myGamePiece.update();
}

function everyinterval(n) {
    if ((myGameArea.frameNo / n) % 1 == 0) {return true;}
    return false;
}

function accelerate(n) {
    myGamePiece.gravity = n;
}

Code Explanation

First we use the some CSS inside the <style> element and set the background color of a game as black by using hash code #000000 which means black color.
Then as you may know inside the <script> element we have add a JavaScript code.
Then we will start creating a gaming area and make it ready for drawing.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
<style>
canvas {
    border:1px solid #d3d3d3;
    background-color: #000000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body onload="startGame()">
<script>
function startGame() {
    myGameArea.start();
}
var myGameArea = {
    canvas : document.createElement("canvas"),
    start : function() {
        this.canvas.width = 480;
        this.canvas.height = 270;
        this.context = this.canvas.getContext("2d");
        document.body.insertBefore(this.canvas, document.body.childNodes[0]);
    }
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

The function startGame() invokes the method start() of the myGameArea object.
The method start() creates a <canvas> element and inserts it as the first childnode of the <body> element.
If you change the width or height of the canvas the size of gaming area will also change. e.g replace this.canvas.width = 480; with this.canvas.width = 700;
The .getContext("2d"); is a built-in HTML object with properties and methods for drawing.

Once our gaming area is ready, now we need to add Game Components.

We will make our first game component called myGamePiece;. The components have ability to control their appearances and movements:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
<style>
canvas {
    border:1px solid #d3d3d3;
    background-color: #000000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body onload="startGame()">
<script>

var myGamePiece;

function startGame() {
    myGameArea.start();
    myGamePiece = new component(30, 30, "green", 10, 120);
}

var myGameArea = {
    canvas : document.createElement("canvas"),
    start : function() {
        this.canvas.width = 480;
        this.canvas.height = 270;
        this.context = this.canvas.getContext("2d");
        document.body.insertBefore(this.canvas, document.body.childNodes[0]);
    }
}

function component(width, height, color, x, y) {
    this.width = width;
    this.height = height;
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;    
    ctx = myGameArea.context;
    ctx.fillStyle = color;
    ctx.fillRect(this.x, this.y, this.width, this.height);
}

</script>

<p>We have added this green square shaped component to our game. </p>

</body>
</html>

So we have successfully added a component to our game.

Now to make a game ready for action, we will update the display 50 times in one second. To do that we will follow the following steps:

First we will create a new function called updateGameArea().
Now, in the myGameArea object, we will add an interval, which will run the updateGameArea() function 50 times per second.
We will also add the clear() function, that clears the entire canvas.
After that we will add an update() function, which will handle the drawing of the component.
The updateGameArea() function calls the clear() and update() functions.
It results the componenet is drawn and cleared 50 times per second.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
<style>
canvas {
    border:1px solid #d3d3d3;
    background-color: #000000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body onload="startGame()">
<script>

var myGamePiece;

function startGame() {
    myGamePiece = new component(30, 30, "green", 10, 120);
    myGameArea.start();
}

var myGameArea = {
    canvas : document.createElement("canvas"),
    start : function() {
        this.canvas.width = 480;
        this.canvas.height = 270;
        this.context = this.canvas.getContext("2d");
        document.body.insertBefore(this.canvas, document.body.childNodes[0]);
        this.interval = setInterval(updateGameArea, 20);
    },
    clear : function() {
        this.context.clearRect(0, 0, this.canvas.width, this.canvas.height);
    }
}

function component(width, height, color, x, y) {
    this.width = width;
    this.height = height;
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;    
    this.update = function(){
        ctx = myGameArea.context;
        ctx.fillStyle = color;
        ctx.fillRect(this.x, this.y, this.width, this.height);
    }
}

function updateGameArea() {
    myGameArea.clear();
    myGamePiece.update();
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

To see that the green square (component) is being drawn 50 times per second, we will change the x position (horizontal) by one pixel every time we update the game area:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
<style>
canvas {
    border:1px solid #d3d3d3;
    background-color: #000000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body onload="startGame()">
<script>

var myGamePiece;

function startGame() {
    myGamePiece = new component(30, 30, "green", 10, 120);
    myGameArea.start();
}

var myGameArea = {
    canvas : document.createElement("canvas"),
    start : function() {
        this.canvas.width = 480;
        this.canvas.height = 270;
        this.context = this.canvas.getContext("2d");
        document.body.insertBefore(this.canvas, document.body.childNodes[0]);
        this.interval = setInterval(updateGameArea, 20);
    },
    clear : function() {
        this.context.clearRect(0, 0, this.canvas.width, this.canvas.height);
    }
}

function component(width, height, color, x, y) {
    this.width = width;
    this.height = height;
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;    
    this.update = function(){
        ctx = myGameArea.context;
        ctx.fillStyle = color;
        ctx.fillRect(this.x, this.y, this.width, this.height);
    }
}

function updateGameArea() {
    myGameArea.clear();
    myGamePiece.x += 1;
    myGamePiece.update();
}
</script>
<p>The green square moves one pixel to the right, 50 times per second.</p>
</body>
</html>

Once it’s done, now we need to add some obstacles to our game. So we add a new component to the gaming area. We will make it 10px wide, 200px high, Red in color and place it 300px to the right and 120px down. We also need to update the obstacle component in every frame:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
<style>
canvas {
    border:1px solid #d3d3d3;
    background-color: #000000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body onload="startGame()">
<script>

var myGamePiece;
var myObstacle;

function startGame() {
    myGamePiece = new component(30, 30, "green", 10, 120);
    myObstacle  = new component(10, 200, "red", 300, 120);    
    myGameArea.start();
}

var myGameArea = {
    canvas : document.createElement("canvas"),
    start : function() {
        this.canvas.width = 480;
        this.canvas.height = 270;
        this.context = this.canvas.getContext("2d");
        document.body.insertBefore(this.canvas, document.body.childNodes[0]);
        this.interval = setInterval(updateGameArea, 20);
    },
    clear : function() {
        this.context.clearRect(0, 0, this.canvas.width, this.canvas.height);
    }
}

function component(width, height, color, x, y) {
    this.width = width;
    this.height = height;
    this.speedX = 0;
    this.speedY = 0;    
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;    
    this.update = function() {
        ctx = myGameArea.context;
        ctx.fillStyle = color;
        ctx.fillRect(this.x, this.y, this.width, this.height);
    }
    this.newPos = function() {
        this.x += this.speedX;
        this.y += this.speedY;        
    }    
}

function updateGameArea() {
    myGameArea.clear();
    myObstacle.update();
    myGamePiece.newPos();    
    myGamePiece.update();
}

function moveup() {
    myGamePiece.speedY = -1; 
}

function movedown() {
    myGamePiece.speedY = 1; 
}

function moveleft() {
    myGamePiece.speedX = -1; 
}

function moveright() {
    myGamePiece.speedX = 1; 
}

function clearmove() {
    myGamePiece.speedX = 0; 
    myGamePiece.speedY = 0; 
}
</script>

<p>Now there is a red obstacle in our gaming area.</p>
</body>
</html>

Now we have to write a code to make the obstacle move. To do that we will change the property value of myObstacle.x at every update.

    myObstacle  = new component(10, 200, "red", 300, 120);    
    myGameArea.start();
}

var myGameArea = {

        this.canvas.height = 270;
        this.context = this.canvas.getContext("2d");
        document.body.insertBefore(this.canvas, document.body.childNodes[0]);
        this.interval = setInterval(updateGameArea, 20);
    },
    clear : function() {
        this.context.clearRect(0, 0, this.canvas.width, this.canvas.height);
    },
    stop : function() {
        clearInterval(this.interval);
    }

function component(width, height, color, x, y) {

        ctx.fillStyle = color;
        ctx.fillRect(this.x, this.y, this.width, this.height);
    }
    this.newPos = function() {
        this.x += this.speedX;
        this.y += this.speedY;        
    }    
    this.crashWith = function(otherobj) {
        var myleft = this.x;

            crash = false;
        }
        return crash;
    }
}

function updateGameArea() {
    if (myGamePiece.crashWith(myObstacle)) {
        myGameArea.stop();
    } else {
        myGameArea.clear();
        myObstacle.x -= 1;        
        myObstacle.update();
        myGamePiece.newPos();    
        myGamePiece.update();
    }

    myGamePiece.speedY = 0; 
}
</script>

<p>When the obstacle hit with green square the game will stop.</p>
</body>
</html>

Having only one obstacle in a game is so boring. So let’s try to add multiple obstacles to make the game risky. To do that we need a property for counting frames, and a method for execute something at a given frame rate.

function clearmove() {
    myGamePiece.speedX = 0; 
    myGamePiece.speedY = 0; 
}
</script>

<p>The new obstacle is coming after every 150. frame, and we have 50 frames per second, so one obstacle every third second!</p>

</body>
</html>

Now to make the game more interesting we need to add the game score. To do that we have to first make a square component , like this:

var myGamePiece;
var myObstacles = [];
var myScore;

function startGame() {
  myGamePiece = new component(30, 30, "red", 10, 160);
  myScore = new component("30px", "Consolas", "black", 280, 40, "text");
  myGameArea.start();
}

Now we have to write the score on canvas but the syntax for writing text on a canvas element is different. Therefore we must call the component constructor using an additional argument, which tells the constructor that this component is of type “text”.

In the component constructor we will test if the component is of type “text”, so we use the fillText method instead of the fillRect method. Then we use the property frameNo to count the score.

Now the final step we have to do is to add the JUMP button, which when we press the green square shaped component will move up. To do that we will add the accelerate function and a button element.

Now we game is ready. You can copy the above code and run it here to see the result.
