    Interface Canvas

    A manager for the HTML canvas element, similar to love.window.

    Controls game size / scaling -- both native and pixelart mode via Canvas.setMode, as well as fullscreen functions.

    The canvas keeps two canvases: render and display. Each frame, it copies render to display before the canvas is presented. This allows for pixel-accurate scaling.

    interface Canvas {
        getContext(): CanvasRenderingContext2D;
        getFullscreen(): boolean;
        getMode(): { flags: CanvasModeOptions; size: Vector2 };
        getRect(): Rectangle;
        getSize(): Vector2;
        hasFocus(): boolean;
        setFullscreen(fullscreen: boolean): void;
        setMode(size: CanvasSize, flags?: Partial<CanvasModeOptions>): void;
    }

    Methods

    • Get the canvas that graphics functions render to. This is separate from the display canvas; it is not visibly exposed but rather copied each frame.

      Returns CanvasRenderingContext2D

    • Set fullscreen.

      Parameters

      • fullscreen: boolean

      Returns void

    • Set the game's apparent resolution, fullscreen, etc.

      Keeps the canvas pixel resolution the same as the physical pixel resolution of the device.

      The canvas will use prescaling to keep your pixel games looking sharp, but without the uneven pixels caused by the naive approach.

      Parameters

      Returns void
