Different player movement speed in different browsers

[v0van1981 0]

Bug? In IE 11 movement speed two times less than Firefox / Chrome

var Player = (function (_super) {    __extends(Player, _super);    function Player(game, x, y) {        _super.call(this, game, x, y, 'simon', 0);        this.anchor.setTo(0.5, 0);        this.animations.add('walk', [0, 1, 2, 3, 4], 10, true);        this.game.physics.arcade.enableBody(this);        game.add.existing(this);    }    Player.prototype.update = function () {        this.body.velocity.x = 0;        if (this.game.input.keyboard.isDown(Phaser.Keyboard.LEFT)) {            this.body.velocity.x = -150;            this.animations.play('walk');            if (this.scale.x == 1) {                this.scale.x = -1;            }        } else if (this.game.input.keyboard.isDown(Phaser.Keyboard.RIGHT)) {            this.body.velocity.x = 150;            this.animations.play('walk');            if (this.scale.x == -1) {                this.scale.x = 1;            }        } else {            this.animations.frame = 0;        }    };    return Player;})(Phaser.Sprite);

Hi v0van1981,

 

Is your Player.prototype.update() function called directly from requestAnimationFrame() as part of your render loop? If so, you've tied your player movement directly to your frame rate i.e. if the frame rate drops, your player will slow down. (I've just spotted the following in the linked article: "Once the sprite is added to the game world its update function will be called every frame.")

 

This article describes some techniques about how to separate out sprite movement from frame rate.

 

Thanks,

 

Vince.

I do no know. It is internal Phaser's loop. But from http://docs.phaser.io/Phaser.Physics.Arcade.Body.html

velocityThe velocity in pixels per second sq. of the Body.
