Mos Shirare

Version 2.0.4 - "Mos Shirare" - 29th April 2014

Updates

• Updated to Pixi.js 1.5.3
• Updated to latest p2.js - all commits from 0.5.0 to Apr 27th 2014.
• TypeScript definitions fixes and updates (thanks @clark-stevenson @metrofun @killalau)
• Timer has removed all use of local temporary vars in the core update loop.
• The Input.reset hard reset parameter is now passed down to the Keyboard and Key reset methods.
• AnimationManager.destroy now iterates through child animations calling destroy on all of them, avoiding a memory leak (thanks stauzs)
• AnimationManager.play will now call Animation.stop on the current animation before switching to the new one (thanks @nihakue, #713)
• ArcadePhysics.Body.phase is checked in postUpdate to prevent it from being called multiple times in a single frame.
• Group.setProperty will now check if the property exists before setting it, this applies to Group.setAll and anything else using setProperty internally.
• QuadTree.retrieve now checks to see if the given Sprite has a body before carrying on.
• ArcadePhysics.collideSpriteVsGroup checks if Sprite has a body before carrying on, now safely skips sub-groups or other non-Sprite group children.
• Group.remove now checks the child to see if it's a member of the root Group before removing it, otherwise Pixi throws an Error.
• The Emitter no longer checks if minParticleScale = maxParticleScale for the scale check, allowing for fixed scale particles again.
• The PIXI.AbstractFilter is now included in the Phaser Pixi build by default, allowing for easier use of external Pixi Filters.
• All Game Objects have a new property: destroyPhase (boolean) which is true if the object is in the process of being destroyed, otherwise false.
• If Tween.yoyo was true but repeat was 0 then it wouldn't yoyo. Now if yoyo is set, but not repeat, the repeat count gets set to 1 (thanks @hilts-vaughan, fix #744)
• RandomDataGenerator.integerInRange uses a new method of rounding the value to an integer to avoid distribution probability issues (thanks PhaserFan)
• Updated the Device little / big endianess check.
• Time has been updated so that physicsElapsed can never be zero (falls back to 1/60), also fixes p2 elapsed time bug (thanks @georgiee, fix #758)
• Input and Pointer now use the new ArrayList instead of a LinkedList, which resolve list item removable during callback issues.
• Input.reset no longer resets every interactive item it knows of, because they are removed during the destroy phase and can now persist between States if needed.
• Blank Tilemaps no longer create null tiles, but instead create Tile objects with an index of -1 which can be replaced and updated like any other tile.
• Tilemap.addTilesetImage will now raise a console.warn if you specify an invalid tileset key and not create the tileset rather than pick the default set.
• Math.smoothstep and Math.smootherstep have been updated to work regardless if a is > or < b (thanks @gre, fix #772)
• Text.updateText now sets the lineCap to round to avoid occassional font glitching issues in Chrome.
• Loader now uses XDomainRequest in IE9 to load JSON data to help with CORS issues.

New Features

• New Phaser Project Template specifically for requireJS in the resources/Project Templates folder (many thanks @ashatch)
• Loader now has an onFileStart event you can listen for (thanks @codevinsky, #705)
• Group.classType allows you to change the type of object that Group.create or createMultiple makes from Phaser.Sprite to your own custom class.
• Timer.clearPendingEvents will purge any events marked for deletion, this is run automatically at the start of the update loop.
• Device.crosswalk detects if your game is running under Intels Crosswalk XDK.
• Keyboard.reset has a new hard parameter which controls the severity of the reset. A soft reset doesn't remove any callbacks or event listeners.
• Key.reset has a new hard parameter which controls the severity of the reset. A soft reset doesn't remove any callbacks or event listeners.
• InputManager.resetLocked - If the Input Manager has been reset locked then all calls made to InputManager.reset, such as from a State change, are ignored.
• Group.resetCursor will reset the Group cursor back to the start of the group, or to the given index value.
• World.wrap will take a game object and if its x/y coordinates fall outside of the world bounds it will be repositioned on the opposite side, for a wrap-around effect.
• Device.support32bit is a new boolean that sets if the context supports 32bit pixel manipulation using array buffer views or not.
• P2.World now has its own pause and resume methods, so you can pause the physics simulation independent of your game (thanks @georgiee)
• Phaser.ArrayList is a new iterative object, similar in principal to a set data structure, but operating on a single array without modifying the object structure.
• Add scaleMode params to FilterTexture and RenderTexture (pixi.js update by @giraluna)
• Your State can now have a pauseUpdate method, which is called constantly when the game is paused.
• Timer.timeCap is a new setting allowing your Timers to protect against unexpectedly large delta timers (such as raf de-vis or CPU grind).

• Key.enabled boolean allows you to toggle if a Key processes its update method or dispatches any events without deleting and re-creating it.
• Emitter now has minParticleAlpha and maxParticleAlpha values for setting a random alpha on emitted particles.
• Emitter.particleAnchor allows you to control the anchor of emitted Particles. Defaults to 0.5 (same as before) but now under your control.
• Emitter.setAlpha allows you to quickly set the min and max alpha values.
• Emitter.setScale allows you to quickly set the min and max scale values.
• Emitter.blendMode lets you set the blendMode of any emitted Particle (needs a browser that supports canvas blend modes)
• Group.customSort allows you to sort the Group children based on your own sort function.
• Emitter.setScale has a new 'rate' parameter which allows particles to change in scale over time, using any Easing value or timescale.
• Emitter.setScale now allows you to scale the x and y axis of the particles independently.
• Emitter.setAlpha has a new 'rate' parameter which allows particles to change alpha over time, using any Easing value or timescale.
• Emitter.bringToTop and Emitter.sendToBack are booleans that let you optionally set the display order of the Particle when emitted.
• Emitter now calls the Phaser.Particle.onEmit function, which is left empty for you to override and add in custom behaviours.
• p2.World has a new contactMaterial property, which can be configured like a normal P2 Contact Material and is applied when two bodies hit that don't have defined materials.
• Group.remove has a new 'destroy' parameter (false by default), which will optionally call destroy on the item removed from the Group.
• Group.removeAll has a new 'destroy' parameter (false by default), which will optionally call destroy on the items removed from the Group.
• Group.removeBetween has a new 'destroy' parameter (false by default), which will optionally call destroy on the items removed from the Group.
• @georgiee created a new P2.FixtureList class to allow easy access the fixtures of a created P2 Body:

This is especially useful in combination with PhysicsEditor and P2.Body#addPhaserPolygon.

You can configure your whole collision grouping in PhysicsEditor and then you can later change the mask bits easily with this class. You can also access parts (groups) and named fixtures by a group index or a fixture key - both properties can be set in PhysicsEditor with the custom phaser exporter.

Use cases:

• Configure collision bits in PhysicsEditor and you want to change them later.
• Place a sensor in your fixture and access this single fixture later (to disable temporarily)
• Create a small body with threes fixtures (circle, circle + polygon/convex). Now you want that the polygon part to behave like rubber and assign a bouncing (restitution > 1) material. Assign a fixture key in PhysicsEditor and access the fixture like this. (see the image for the fixture I described)

"Lyrelle"

The 2.0.1 release of Phaser is mostly a maintenance release. With 2.0 being such a significant upgrade there were bound to be some issues, and this release addresses them. One of the core things a lot of you kept telling us was that you need Arcade Physics to work pretty much exactly as it did in the past. So in 2.0.1 we've taken ArcadePhysics back another iteration, fixed a few of the most common complaints you had with it, and fixed every single physics example as well.

2.0.1 also brings the TypeScript definitions virtually bang up to date, covering P2 and Ninja physics, Arcade updates and more. Our thanks to Clarke for his continued support of these.

There are a few new features as well including a Phaser export script for PhysicsEditor (found in the resources folder), updates to the Particle Emitter and device enhancements. As always if you find a bug that you can confirm with a test case, please report it to us via github. If you think you may have found a bug, but aren't quite sure, please post it to the forum first.

"Aes Sedai"

Phaser 2.0.0 is a major upgrade to the Phaser Game Framework. With significant improvements across the whole library it's our biggest and fastest release yet. Please see the README for full details, the Migration Guide for help porting a 1.x game across and our new Examples repository.
