franim

sample html canvas animation loop wrapper

Usage

var wrap = franim('wrapperid', {
    config : {
        resize: true
    },
    setup : function setup(ctx) {
        ctx.fillStyle = "black";
        ctx.fillRect(0,0,this.anim.getWidth(),this.anim.getHeight());
    },
    update : function update(time) {
        this.x = ~~(Math.random()*this.anim.getWidth());
        this.y = ~~(Math.random()*this.anim.getHeight());
    },
    draw : function draw(ctx) {
        ctx.fillStyle = "red";
        ctx.fillRect(this.x, this.y, 1, 1);
    }
});

##arguments ###wrapperid Type: String required

the id of canvas wrapper where new canvace elemnt will be appened

###context Type: Object required

object which contains required functions for animation loop

###context.config.resize Type: Boolean Default: false

if true make canvas element resize with its wrapper element

###context.init Type: Function optional it is called once before animation is started and context is passed to it as argument

function setup(ctx)

###context.update Type: Function optional it is called on every frame before draw and AnimationFrame's time argument is passed to it as argument

function update(time)

###context.draw Type: Function required it is called on every frame, after update (if is defined) and context is passed to it as argument

function draw(ctx)

if update is not defined then context is passed to it as a first argument and AnimationFrame's time argument as second argument

function draw(ctx,time)

##this.anim here is api to control animation loop and some helper functions

####this.anim.pause() it cancels Animation Frame and stops loop

####this.anim.resume() it request Animation Frame and starts loop

####this.anim.getHeight() returns height of canvas element

####this.anim.getWidth() returns width of canvas element

####this.anim.getDelta() returns delta time in seconds between frames

example: if you had code like this: x += 1; in your update, after 1 second it will be different depending on frame rate but if you write x += 100*this.anim.getDelta(); it will be changed by 100 after 1 second on any frame rate
