Hi, there! Newcomer here! Last night I began exploring Phaser. First I wrote everything in one js file. Then I decided to use IIFEs to organize my code. But I stumbled upon a problem I don't know how to fix. I have player.js and main.js. Player.js: var hero = (function(){ var hero = { init: function(){ hero = game.add.sprite(game.world.width / 2, 0, 'idle'); << ReferenceError this.scale.setTo(0.6, 0.6); game.physics.arcade.enable(this); this.body.collideWorldBounds = true; } }; return hero;}());And main.js has: var game = new Phaser.Game(800, 600, Phaser.AUTO, '', { preload: preload, create: create, update: update });........The error I get(as some of you might already guess) is "Uncaught ReferenceError: game is not defined". The only option I can think of so far is to instantiate another game in the player but that sounds completely wrong. I'm not too good with IIFEs and I find a perfect opportunity to understand them better while writing this game. Thanks in advance!
