Phaser Class: Game

new Game(width, height, renderer, parent, state, transparent, antialias, physicsConfig)

This is where the magic happens. The Game object is the heart of your game, providing quick access to common functions and handling the boot process. "Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something." Thomas A. Edison

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
`width`	number \| string	<optional>	800	The width of your game in game pixels. If given as a string the value must be between 0 and 100 and will be used as the percentage width of the parent container, or the browser window if no parent is given.
`height`	number \| string	<optional>	600	The height of your game in game pixels. If given as a string the value must be between 0 and 100 and will be used as the percentage height of the parent container, or the browser window if no parent is given.
`renderer`	number	<optional>	Phaser.AUTO	Which renderer to use: Phaser.AUTO will auto-detect, Phaser.WEBGL, Phaser.CANVAS or Phaser.HEADLESS (no rendering at all).
`parent`	string \| HTMLElement	<optional>	''	The DOM element into which this games canvas will be injected. Either a DOM ID (string) or the element itself.
`state`	object	<optional>	null	The default state object. A object consisting of Phaser.State functions (preload, create, update, render) or null.
`transparent`	boolean	<optional>	false	Use a transparent canvas background or not.
`antialias`	boolean	<optional>	true	Draw all image textures anti-aliased or not. The default is for smooth textures, but disable if your game features pixel art.
`physicsConfig`	object	<optional>	null	A physics configuration object to pass to the Physics world on creation.

destroy()

Nukes the entire game from orbit.

Source - core/Game.js, line 860

disableStep()

Disables core game loop stepping.

enableStep()

Enable core game loop stepping. When enabled you must call game.step() directly (perhaps via a DOM button?) Calling step will advance the game loop by one frame. This is extremely useful for hard to track down errors!

Source - core/Game.js, line 821
