Difference between this.add.sprite() and game.add.sprite() in State

[Raiper34]

Hi,

 

What is difference between this.add.sprite() and game.add.sprite() in State? 

 

Thanks.

Absolutely nothing - both of them are references to the GameObjectFactory. The only real difference is that 'game.add.sprite' uses a global (window level) "game" object in order to add the sprite, where-as "this.add" uses a State level reference to the GameObjectFactory instead. You should nearly always use 'this.add', especially if packaging games up in wrappers or for native.

This is amazing for beginners like me.

Hmm.. 

 

I'm trying to add some bitmap text to my extended sprite class like this: 

this.label = game.add.bitmapText(0, 0, 'font', 'some text, 16);

I then add 'this.label' as a child to the parent.

 

This works fine, but after reading this I became worried since I'm going to wrap it up later on.

 

Shouldn't I use 'game.add...' in this case? Using 'this' dont seem to work.
