Loading image assets from CDN

[zakhov]

Hi,
I'm a bit a new to Panda.JS. 
is there a way to load up image assets stored on a CDN?  e.g Amazon

 

In Phaser it's something like this:

Remove the next 2 lines if running locally            this.load.baseURL = 'http://files.phaser.io.s3.amazonaws.com/codingtips/issue008/';            this.load.crossOrigin = 'anonymous';            this.load.image('alien', 'assets/ufo.png');

Is there a similar way to achieve this with Panda.js?

 

Thanks

Hi!

 

This will be possible on Panda Engine 2, like this:

game.addAsset('http://files.phaser.io.s3.amazonaws.com/codingtips/issue008/assets/ufo.png', 'ufo');game.createScene('Main', {    init: function() {        var sprite = new game.Sprite('ufo');        sprite.addTo(this.stage);    }});

Thanks for the reply. Tested it and loading assets from CDN indeed works great with the Panda 2 Engine.

I suppose there's no harm in me using this as our base engine in it's current state.

 

On a side note,

If I were to use a source code of a game made with pre-2.0 engine as a starting in learning Panda, do I have to make a lot of changes to the code?

 

Keep up the good work!

The current state of 2.0 is pretty stable (using it currently on my own projects), so i'm not expecting to make any big changes anymore.

Just few new features:

If you spot any issues with 2.0, please let me know so i can fix them

Sure, we really appreciate the amount of work you've put into Panda JS. 

 

Cheers

I don't know if it is worth noting but I am using CDN with older version and it works perfectly with minor changes. Either way loader is in the pixijs. Which worked in version 2.1.0
