problem with loading image

[furqan.2712]

Hi all, I write my first code but having problem in loading image.... here is the javascript to load image

 

var game =  new Phaser.Game(800, 600, Phaser.AUTO, 'screen', {preload: preload, create: create, update: update});

 

function preload() {

 

    game.load.image('back', "back.png");

   

}

 

function create() {

 

    game.add.sprite(0, 0, "back");

}

 

function update() {

 

}

The problem isn't the code, it's that you've just dragged your html file into your browser and expected it to work. I would strongly recommend you go through our Getting Started Guide, it covers this and how to get a working environment set-up.

Maybe the easiest and convenient way to start is to use brackets -> http://brackets.io/

There you have an inbuild testing instance with chrome, just by clicking the preview button.

Yup! Chrome considers anything outside your current directory to be cross-domain when using "file://" URLs. Rich is right; you should follow the Getting Started guide.

 

If you don't want to download and run Apache you should try Node's https://github.com/nodeapps/http-server project. It requires you to have a working Node installation, but I find it a lighter-weight alternative to using Apache and a better/faster alternative to Python's SimpleHTTPServer.

hmm, well when you use brackets you don't have to deal with all that stuff,...

just type in your code and press preview and you are fine.

If you don't want to switch to Brackets for local hosting (I use Brackets for coding, but not for hosting) I suggest using Prepros. It's mainly for precompiling a lot of different scripts, but it has  a POWERFUL live update feature. You can actually point your browser, your phone, and an iPad to the same page, make a change, save, and watch them all refresh in real time.

Oh, that looks neat. I'm definitely checking it out. Thanks!

 

I'm a browserify nut so I'm using beefy to concat my code while working on it. Probably just going to bash up some scripts for deployment and stuff once I get to a point where I can show my game to people.
