This game have the canvas tag in the body. The ready event into the body calls the main function of the game: CMain().
The head section declares all the javascript functions of the game. The whole project uses a typical object-oriented approach.
In the init function there are 8 mapped events that can be useful eventually for stats
  • Game option: You can easily customize game setting when creating a new instance of the game in index.html file
    • 				var oMain = new CMain({
					area_goal: [{id: 0, probability: 100}, {id: 1, probability: 80}, {id: 2, probability: 60},
                        {id: 3, probability: 80}, {id: 4, probability: 100}, {id: 5, probability: 75},
                        {id: 6, probability: 60}, {id: 7, probability: 50}, {id: 8, probability: 60},
                        {id: 9, probability: 75}, {id: 10, probability: 80}, {id: 11, probability: 65},
                        {id: 12, probability: 70}, {id: 13, probability: 65}, {id: 14, probability: 80}], //PROBABILITY AREA GOALS START TO LEFT UP TO RIGHT DOWN 
                    //0 1 2 3 4
                    //5 6 7 8 9
                    //10 11 12 13 14
                  

                    score_goal:10,
                    score_goal_missed:-5,
                    score_ball_saved: 5, //ADD SCORE WHEN THE GLOVES SAVE BALL
                    score_goal_opponent: -5, // ADD SCORE WHEN THE OPPONENT GOAL
                    audio_enable_on_startup:false, //ENABLE/DISABLE AUDIO WHEN GAME STARTS 
                    check_orientation:true, //SET TO FALSE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SHOW ORIENTATION ALERT ON MOBILE DEVICES
                    fullscreen: true //SET THIS TO FALSE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SHOW FULLSCREEN BUTTON
				});
    The goal area (area_goal variable) is divided in several squares, you can make the game harder/easier by decreasing/increasing the possibility to score a goal in each area. See image below: ctl arcade

    E) CSS Files and Structure - top

    The game use two CSS files. The first one is a generic reset file. Many browser interpret the default behavior of html elements differently. By using a general reset CSS file, we can work round this. Keep in mind, that these values might be overridden somewhere else in the file.

    The second file contains all of the specific stylings for the canvas and some hack to be fully compatible with all most popular mobile devices

    3. When all sprites contained in "/sprites" and "/sounds" folder are loaded, the main class removes the preloader and calls the CMenu.js file that shows the main menu
    4. If the user click the Play button in main menu, the CSelectTeamMenu.js class is called if no team was previously stored, otherwise CLevelMenu.js is called
    5. If user click a flag in the CSelectTeamMenu menu, CLevelMenu.js is called
    6. If user click a flag in the CLevelMenu menu, game is started
    7. If the user click on the exit button in the up-right corner, the game returns to the menu screen
