I use the online textbook based canvas element and created the following page here .
Here is my markup:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Canvas Game</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>Cool Canvas Bouncing Effect!</h1>
<p>Which would you like to see bounce around?</p>
<input id="beachBallButton" type="button" value="Beach Ball" />
<input id="avatarButton" type="button" value="Avatar" />
</header>
<br />
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="600" height="400">
Your browser does not support canvas!
</canvas>
</body>
</html>
And here is my JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function() {
const FPS;
var x = 0;
var y = 0;
var xDirection = 1;
var yDirection = 1;
var image = new Image();
image.src = null;
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
$('#avatarButton').click(function() {
x = 0;
y = 0;
FPS = 30;
image.src = 'avatar.png';
setInterval(draw, 1000 / FPS);
function draw() {
ctx.clearRect(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height);
ctx.fillRect(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height);
ctx.drawImage(image, x, y);
x += 1 * xDirection;
y += 1 * yDirection;
if (x >= 500)
{
x = 500;
xDirection = -1;
}
else if (x <= 0)
{
x = 0;
xDirection = 1;
}
if (y >= 300)
{
y = 300;
yDirection = -1;
}
else if (y <= 0)
{
y = 0;
yDirection = 1;
}
}
});
$('#beachBallButton').click(function() {
x = 0;
y = 0;
FPS = 60;
image.src = 'beachball.png';
setInterval(draw, 1000 / FPS);
function draw() {
ctx.clearRect(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height);
ctx.fillRect(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height);
ctx.drawImage(image, x, y);
x += 5 * xDirection;
y += 5 * yDirection;
if (x >= 450)
{
x = 450;
xDirection = -1;
}
else if (x <= 0)
{
x = 0;
xDirection = 1;
}
if (y >= 250)
{
y = 250;
yDirection = -1;
}
else if (y <= 0)
{
y = 0;
yDirection = 1;
}
}
});
});
Now, let's say you press a button Avatar, and then press Beach Ball, FPS speeds up. However, I reset the FPS variable in the functions of clickboth functions. I also reset the variables xand y.
In addition, I could just press the same button , and the speed will also increase dramatically.
Can someone explain why this is happening?
Thank!
