Thread: Long shot, but does anyone know anything about "Phaser" programming?

    I made some changes, the sound methods and objects seems to be the problem.
    I commented out those and the game loads and runs. phaser.txt

    So your son needs to check the methods and properites of the sound objects.
    He is trying to set the 'volume' property for the engine sound and then play the explotion sound.
    BNoth of those are failing so the object constructor or the methods are not correct.

    The only way I could be more lost in this thread is if it was in Greek or Cyrillic. And I’m ok with that...🙃

    The code problems are bieng adressed so I'll mention this --- this lack of responsiveness is absolutely typical for CS/language classes. Don't take it as a personal slight.

    The rationale is basically -- you must be able to figure it out. It loosely follows the Pareto Principle... 80% of coding is figuring out how to do something, how to make it faster, more user friendly, etc., and 20% is actually doing it. My experience has been - "you're the coder; find the answer; figure it out; make it work."

    Probably not the best approach to an entry level high school class, though. Distance learning has been a good growing experience for doing your own research/learning to learn type stuff but when you're stuck, spent a multitude of hours on a stumbling block, then it's time for a teacher to teach, IMO. That said, he did call today and and is going to help out.

    That said, he says it's working now and thanks for everyone's help.

    This thread makes me happy. The internet as it should be. People solving problems, perusing interests, and learning new things.

    You can’t manufacture this kind of stuff in a classroom. I’m not saying this teacher is doing this intentionally but sometimes getting out of the way is the best teaching method there is.
