Newbie question Mixing pixijs with vanilla javascript

[TheCrock]

Hi all,

 I am new to coding. I am currently working my way through Game Design with HTML5 and Javascript by Rex Van Der Spuy.

I have a real newbie question.

Can I mix the vanilla java script techniques I am learning with something like pixijs. 

What I mean is can I write my code in vanilla and then mix in pixijs for animating a sprite walk cycle or must I write the whole game in pixijs?

I hope that makes sense.

 

EDIT: Anybody here can moderate my first post?

I am into the Chapter 4 of Foundation Game Design with HTML5 and JavaScript  and I am also reading Learn Pixi.js from the same author. So far I can see that, as a beginner my self, pixi.js makes the inital setup things easier along with many other things.

 

It has some built tools that cares of a lot of things, like TilingSprite. Caching of Textures and disposing them. Organization of things and Interaction, such things are made easier.

 

I think you would learn the game mechanics from the Foundation book. Once going through that book, one can easily work with any game library i-e Pixi, phaser.io and 

 

we can very much incorporate JavaScript knowledge in Pixi

 

I hope it helps, I am learning myself I hope I will come with better answer in the future.
