New Features - WebGL Context Loss Handling

  • Phaser now performs a WebGL Context Restore to keep the game running after losing WebGL context. This affects many parts of the rendering system, but everything should work just the same unless you're doing something very technical. See the link for more details.

New Feature - Base64 Loader

The Phaser LoaderPlugin and related classes have been updated so that they now work natively with base64 encoded files and Data URIs. This means you can now load a base64 encoded image, audio file or text file directly into the Loader. The Loader will then decode the data and process it as if it was a normal file. This is particularly useful for environments such as Playable Ads where you have to provide a single html file with all assets embedded and no XHR requests.

  • Loader.File.base64 is a new read-only boolean property that is set if the file contains a Data URI encoded string.
  • Loader.File.onBase64Load is a new method that is called when the file has finished decoding from a Data URI.
  • The ImageFile will now default to using the Image Load Element if a base64 file is detected, instead of throwing a console warning about unsupported types.
  • The XHRLoader will now return a fake XHR result object containing the decoded base64 data if a base64 file is detected, skipping the creation of a real XML Http Request object.

New Feature - Scale Manager Snap Mode

The Game Config has a new Scale Manager property called snap. This allows you to set a 'snapping' value for the width and height of your game. This is especially useful for games where you want to keep a fixed dimension: for example, you want the game to always snap to a multiple of 16 pixels for the width. Or, if you want to scale a pixel-art game up by integer values, you can now set the game size as the snap value and the Scale Manager will ensure the game size is always a multiple of that value.

  • A new property is available in the Game Configuration specifically for setting the 'snap' values for the Scale Manager. You can now set snap: { width, height } in the game config. This is then passed to the display size by the Scale Manager and used to control the snap values. Fix #6629 (thanks @musjj @samme)
  • ScaleManager.setSnap is a new method that allows you to set the snap values for the game size, should you need to do it post-boot and not in the game config.
  • Config#snapWidth and Config#snapHeight are new properties in the Game Config that hold the parsed snap config values, as used by the Scale Manager.

New Features

  • The Scale Manager has a new scale mode called EXPAND. This is inspired by the Expand mode in Godot: "Keep aspect ratio when stretching the screen, but keep neither the base width nor height. Depending on the screen aspect ratio, the viewport will either be larger in the horizontal direction (if the screen is wider than the base size) or in the vertical direction (if the screen is taller than the original size)" (thanks @rexrainbow)
  • The Tilemap.createFromTiles method has been updated. It will now copy the following properties, if set in the Tile, to the Sprites it creates: rotation, flipX, flipY, alpha, visible and tint. If these properties are declared in the spriteConfig passed to the method, those will be used instead, otherwise the Tile values are used. Fix #6711 (thanks @Nerodon)
  • The Tilemap.createFromTiles method has a new property called useSpriteSheet. If this is set to true and you have loaded the tileset as a sprite sheet (not an image), then it will set the Sprite key and frame to match the sprite texture and tile index. Also, if you have not specified an origin in the spriteConfig, it will adjust the sprite positions by half the tile size, to position them accurately on the map.
  • Texture#getFrameBounds is a new method that will return the bounds that all of the frames of a given Texture Source encompass. This is useful for things like calculating the bounds of a Sprite Sheet embedded within a Texture Atlas.
  • Math.RectangleLike is a new typedef that defines a rectangle-like object with public x, y, width and height properties.

WebGL Renderer Updates

  • Fix MIPmap filters being effectively disabled for compressed textures.
  • WebGLRenderer.getCompressedTextures can now identify BPTC and RGTC support correctly. These were previously skipped.
  • PVR compressed texture files now support sRGB color space in S3TCSRGB, ETC, and ASTC formats. Fix #6247 (thanks @dominikhalvonik)
  • Compressed texture files which are incompatible with WebGL will now fail to load, and display a console warning explaining why. Previously they might seem to load, but not display properly.
  • Add experimental support for BPTC compressed textures in PVR files.
  • Change S3TCRGB to S3TCSRGB in WebGLTextureCompression, CompressedTextureFileConfig, and FileConfig typedefs.
  • Fix generating spritesheets from members of texture atlases based on compressed textures (thanks @vladyslavfolkuian)
  • The BloomFX and BlurFX and any custom pipeline that relies on using the UtilityPipeline full or half frame targets will now correctly draw even after the renderer size changes. Fix #6677 (thanks @Nerodon)
  • The PostFXPipeline.postBatch method will now bind the current Render Target after the pipeline has booted for the first time. This fixes glitch errors on mobile devices where Post FX would appear corrupted for a single frame. Fix #6681 (thanks @moufmouf @tongliang999)
  • Fix unpredictable text sizes failing to render in WebGL with mipmapFilter set. Fix #6721 (thanks @SaintFlow and @rexrainbow)
  • The UtilityPipeline now sets autoResize to true in its Render Target Config, so that the global fullFrame and halfFrame Render Targets will automatically resize if the renderer changes.
  • WebGLPipeline.resizeUniform is a new property that is defined in the WebGLPipelineConfig. This is a string that defines a uResolution property, or similar, within the pipeline shader. If the WebGL Renderer resizes, this uniform will now be updated automatically as part of the pipeline resize method. It has been added to both the Multi and Mobile pipelines as default. This fixes issues where the pipelines were rendering with old resolution values, causing graphical glitches in mostly pixel-art games. Fix #6674 #6678 (thanks @Nerodon @LazeKer)

Spine Updates

  • The Spine 3 and 4.1 Plugins will now call preUpdate automatically when the play method is called. This forces the new animation state to update and apply itself to the skeleton. This fixes an issue where Spine object would show the default frame in the Spine atlas for a single update before the animation started. Fix #5443 (thanks @spayton)
  • SpineGameObject.setSlotAlpha is a new method that allows you to set the alpha on a specific slot in a Spine skeleton.
  • The SpineGameObject.setAlpha method has had its 2nd parameter removed. This fixes needless slot look-ups during rendering when a Spine Game Object is inside a regular Container. If you need to set slot alpha, use the new setSlotAlpha method instead. Fix #6571 (thanks @spayton)
  • The SpineFile.onFileComplete handler was running a regular expression against file.src instead of file.url, sometimes leading to double paths in the atlas paths on loading. Fix #6642 (thanks @rez23)

Input Updates

The Phaser Input and related classes have been updated to be more consistent with each Game Object.

  • If you enable a Game Object for Input Debugging, the debug shape will no longer be rendered if the Game Object itself is not visible. Fix #6364 (thanks @orjandh)
  • Mesh based Game Objects now can use an input config with the setInteractive method, which supports the options draggable, dropzone, cursor and userHandCursor. Fix #6510 #6652 (thanks @Baegus @Neppord)
  • The touch event handler onTouchEndWindow now stops pointer events when clicking through DOM elements to input. Fix #6697 (thanks @laineus)
  • The Input.InputPlugin method disable which is called by GameObjects.GameObject#disableInteractive keeps its temp hit box value which stops propagation to interactive Game Objects in another scene. Fix #6601 (thanks @UnaiNeuronUp)
  • Using setInteractive and removeInteractive methods of a Game Object outside of the game loop would cause an error in which Input.InputManager#resetCursor would lose input context. Fix #6387 (thanks @TomorrowToday)

Updates

  • The TweenChainBuilder was incorrectly setting the persist flag on the Chain to true, which goes against what the documentation says. It now correctly sets it to false. This means if you previously had a Tween Chain that was persisting, it will no longer do so, so add the property to regain the feature.
  • The dropped argument has now been added to the documentation for the DRAG_END and GAMEOBJECT_DRAG_END events. (thanks @samme)
  • Container.onChildDestroyed is a new internal method used to destroy Container children. Previously, if you destroyed a Game Object in an exclusive Container, the game object would (momentarily) move onto the Scene display list and emit an ADDED_TO_SCENE event. Also, if you added a Sprite to a non-exclusive Container and stopped the Scene, you would get a TypeError (evaluating 'this.anims.destroy'). This happened because the fromChild argument in the DESTROY event was misinterpreted as destroyChild in the Container's remove(), and the Container was calling the Sprite's destroy() again. (thanks @samme)
  • The Text and TileSprite Game Objects now place their textures into the global TextureManager and a _textureKey private string property has been added which contains a UUID to reference that texture.
  • The Tilemaps.Components.WeightedRandomize method now uses the Phaser Math.RND.frac method with a seed instead ...

  • The Tilemaps.Components.WeightedRandomize method now uses the Phaser Math.RND.frac method with a seed instead of the Math.Random static method. (thanks @jorbascrumps)
  • Tilemaps.Components.IsometricCullTiles does the CheckIsoBounds method check last when building the outputArray, as to help optimize in situations where the tile would not be visible anyways. (thanks @zegenie)
  • Tilemaps.Components.WeightedRandomize now uses the Phaser Math.RND.frac method with a seed instead the Math.Random static method. (thanks @jorbascrumps)
  • The Layer Game Object has had its removeAll, remove and add methods removed. These methods are all still available via the List class that Layer inherits, but the destroyChild parameters are no longer available.
  • The Renderer.Canvas and Renderer.WebGL will now only be included in the build file if the corresponding feature flags CANVAS_RENDERER and/or WEBGL_RENDERER are set to true. For Canvas only builds this saves a lot of space in the build. (thanks @samme)
  • You can now specify an autoResize boolean in the RenderTargetConfig which is passed to the Render Targets when they are created by a pipeline.
  • The UtilityPipeline now sets autoResize to true in its Render Target Config, so that the global fullFrame and halfFrame Render Targets will automatically resize if the renderer changes.
  • Actions.PlaceOnLine now has an added ease parameter which accepts a string from the EaseMap or a custom ease function to allow for different distrubutions along a line. (thanks @sB3p)
  • If you enable a Game Object for Input Debugging, the debug shape will no longer be rendered if the Game Object itself is not visible. Fix #6364 (thanks @orjandh)
  • The XHRLoader will now listen for ontimeout and if triggered it will hand over to the File.onError handler. This prevents the Loader from stalling if a file times out. Fix #6472 (thanks @343dev)
  • LightPipeline.currentNormalMap was incorrectly documented as being a property of WebGLRenderer.
  • Mesh based Game Objects now can use an input config with the setInteractive method, which supports the options draggable, dropzone, cursor and userHandCursor. Fix #6510 #6652 (thanks @Baegus @Neppord)

Bug Fixes

  • The InputManager.onTouchMove function has been fixed so it now correctly handles touch events on pages that have scrolled horizontally or vertically and shifted the viewport. Fix #6489 (thanks @somechris @hyewonjo)
  • Factory.staticBody had the wrong return type in the docs/TS defs. Fix #6693 (thanks @ddhaiby)
  • The Time.Timeline class didn't show as extending the Event Emitter, or have config as an optional argument in the docs / TS defs. Fix #6673 (thanks @ghclark2)
  • The Animations.AnimationFrame member duration is now the complete duration of the frame, which is a breaking change. Before this Animations.AnimationState#msPerFrame was combined with Animations.AnimationFrame#duration which wasn't intuitive. The fix to remove Animations.AnimationState#msPerFrame from Animations.AnimationFrame#duration has been removed from the Animations.AnimationManager method createFromAseprite because of this clarification. Fix #6712 (thanks @Nerodon @TomMalitz)
  • The NineSlice Game Object method setSize now recalculates its origin by calling the updateDisplayOrigin method. (thanks @dhashvir)
  • When a Layer Game Object is destroyed, i.e. from changing or restarting a Scene, it will no longer cause an error when trying to destroy the children on its display list. Fix #6675 (thanks @crockergd @gm0nk)
  • DynamicTexture will now automatically call setSize(width, height) for both WebGL and Canvas. Previously it only did it for WebGL. This fixes an issue where DynamicTextures in Canvas mode would have a width and height of -1. Fix #6682 (thanks @samme)
  • DynamicTexture.setSize will now check to see if the glTexture bound to the current frame is stale, and if so, destroy it before binding the one from the Render Target. This fixes an issue where constantly destroying and creating Dynamic Textures would cause a memory leak in WebGL. Fix #6669 (thanks @DavidTalevski)
  • The BloomFX and BlurFX and any custom pipeline that relies on using the UtilityPipeline full or half frame targets will now correctly draw even after the renderer size changes. Fix #6677 (thanks @Nerodon)
  • The PostFXPipeline.postBatch method will now skip onDraw if the pipeline hasn't booted, introducing an artificial frame skip. This should potentially fix glitch errors on mobile devices where Post FX would appear corrupted for a single frame. Fix #6681 (thanks @moufmouf @tongliang999)
  • The Matter.Body function scale has been updated so if the Body originally had an inertia of Infinity this will be restored at the end of the call. This happens if you set a Matter Body to have fixed rotation. Fix #6369 (thanks @sushovande)
  • Modified the RandomDataGenerator.weightedPick method to avoid sampling past the last element. Fix #6701 (thanks @jameskirkwood)
  • The touch event handler onTouchEndWindow now stops pointer events when clicking through DOM elements to input. Fix #6697 (thanks @laineus)
  • The Physics.Matter.Factory method pointerConstraint no longer returns an error when it can't find the camera. Fix #6684 (thanks @spritus)
  • The Physics.Arcade.StaticBody method reset now re-applies offset values. Fix #6729 (thanks @samme)
  • The Input.InputPlugin method disable which is called by GameObjects.GameObject#disableInteractive keeps its temp hit box value which stops propagation to interactive Game Objects in another scene. Fix #6601 (thanks @UnaiNeuronUp)

Version 3.70.0 - Yotsuba - 10th November 2023

New Features - Round Pixels

All pixel rounding math is now handled on the GPU instead of on the CPU. This feature has now been enabled by default.

  • The Game Config roundPixels property is now true by default. This means that all Game Objects will be positioned and rendered with pixel-perfect precision, which is by far the most common use-case for Phaser games. This will prevent sub-pixelation when rendering at non-integer offsets and allows for smoother camera scrolling, especially at higher zoom scales. If you wish to disable this, you can do so by setting the roundPixels property in the Game Config to false. Note that only roundPixels has been set to true. The pixelArt property remains false. So if you're creating a pixel-art style game, please still enable this in your config.
  • All of the core vertex shaders, including Multi, Single and Mobile now have a new uniform called uRoundPixels which is set in all of the corresponding pipelines. This means that all pixel rounding calculations are now done on the GPU instead of the CPU, which can save a lot of math in intensive games.
  • CanvasRenderer.batchSprite has been updated to correctly use the Camera roundPixels property and apply it to the drawImage call.
  • Camera.preRender will no longer round the origin, follow coordinates or scrollX/Y coordinates. It will still round the World view.
  • The MultiPipeline.batchSprite method (which is also used by the Single Pipeline and Mobile Pipeline) will no longer use roundPixels when calculating the quad vertex data. It also won't apply it to any of the sprite values. This is all now handled in the shader directly.
  • TransformMatrix.setQuad no longer uses an anonymous function for roundPixels, which will help with performance.
  • The TransformMatrix.setQuad method signature has changed slightly. The roundPixels parameter is now optional and defaults to false. Previously, you always had to set it.

New Features - Texture Packer Nine Slice Support

The new version of Texture Packer (v7.1.0) and above will now allow you to export scale9 sprite data in your Phaser 3 Atlas JSON. This allows you to create Nine Slice Sprites directly from the data, without having to specify the border sizes directly in your code. To use this feature, simply edit the sprite in Texture Packer, enable the 'scale9' checkbox and then drag the guides as required. When you export the atlas, the JSON will contain the new scale9 object, which Phaser will parse and use when creating Nine Slice Game Objects.

  • You can now create a NineSlice Game Object without specifying a width or height for it. If you do this, it will use the size of the texture frame instead.
  • The NineSlice Game Object will now check to see if its associated Frame has any scale9 data set, and if so this is now used automatically to populate all of the border values.
  • The NineSlice.setSlices method has a new optional boolean parameter skipScale9 which will allow you to set the border values of the Nine Slice directly, even if its Frame has associated scale9 data
  • Frame.setScale9 is a new method that allows you to set the scale9 data associated with the given Frame. This is used internally by the Texture Packer parsers, but can also be called directly.
  • Frame.scale9 is a new read-only boolean property that returns true if the Frame has scale9 data associated with it.
  • Frame.is3Slice is a new read-only boolean property that returns true if the Frame has scale9 data associated with it that is 3-slice instead of 9-slice.
  • The JSONHash texture parser will now check for scale9 data in the JSON and if found, set it via the Frame.setScale9 method.
  • The JSONArray texture parser will now check for scale9 data in the JSON and if found, set it via the Frame.setScale9 method.

New Features - Arcade Physics

  • Arcade Physics Bodies have a new method called setDirectControl which toggles a new boolean property directControl. When enabled (it's false by default) it means the Body will calculate its velocity based on its change in position compared to the previous frame. This allows you to directly move a Body around the physics world by just changing its position, without having to use acceleration or velocity. This is useful if you want to move it via a Tween, or follow a Pointer, or a Path. Because its velocity is calculated based on this movement it will still resolve collisions with other bodies, imparting velocity to them as usual.
  • Arcade Physics Bodies have a new property called slideFactor. This is a Vector2 that controls how much velocity is retained by a Body after it has been pushed by another Body. The default value is 1, which means it retains all of its velocity. If set to zero, it will retain none of it. This allows you to create a Body that can be pushed around without imparting any velocity to it.
  • Body.setSlideFactor is a new method that sets the Body's slideFactor property.
  • The Arcade Physics World has a new method nextCategory which will create a new collision category and return it. You can define up to 32 unique collision categories per world.
  • Arcade Physics Bodies have two new properties: collisionCategory and collisionMask. These allow you to set a specific collision category and list of categories the body will collide with. This allows for fine-grained control over which bodies collide with which others. The default is that all bodies collide with all others, just like before.
  • setCollisionCategory is a new method available on Arcade Physics Bodies that allows you to set the collision category of the body. It's also available on Arcade Sprites, Images, Tilemap Layers, Groups and Static Groups directly.
  • setCollidesWith is a new method available on Arcade Physics Bodies that allows you to set which collision categories the body should collide with. It's also available on Arcade Sprites, Images, Tilemap Layers, Groups and Static Groups directly.
  • resetCollision is a new method available on Arcade Physics Bodies that allows you to reset the collision category and mask to their defaults. It's also available on Arcade Sprites, Images, Tilemap Layers, Groups and Static Groups directly.

The default is as before: all bodies collide with each other. However, by using the categories you now have much more fine-grained control over which objects collide together, or not. They are filtered out at the top-level, meaning you can have a Sprite set to not collide with a Physics Group and it will skip checking every single child in the Group, potentially saving a lot of processing time.

The new collision categories are used automatically by either directly calling the collide or overlap methods, or by creating a Collider object. This allows you to use far less colliders than you may have needed previously and skip needing to filter the pairs in the collision handlers.

New Features - FX Updates and Fixes

You can now set in your game config two new boolean properties that control if the built-in FX are enabled, or not. If you don't need to use the FX then disabling these will help save on texture memory and will compile less shaders, which can help with startup time. These are single-set flags, you cannot toggle them after the game has booted.

  • disablePreFX set this to true in your game config to disable the creation and use of Pre FX on all Game Objects.
  • disablePostFX set this to true in your game config to disable the creation and use of Post FX on all Game Objects.
  • The PipelineManager will now delay the creation of the FX Pipelines until its boot method, using these config values to determine if it should proceed.
  • The PipelineManager.renderTargets array will no longer be pre-populated if you disable Pre FX, saving on texture memory.
  • FX.Circle.backgroundAlpha is a new property that allows you to set the amount of the alpha of the background color in the Circle FX (thanks @rexrainbow)
  • PostFXPipeline.bootFX is a new method, which is the previous boot method but renamed. This is no longer called from the constructor, but instead when the Post FX Pipeline is activated by the Pipeline Manager. This means that the resources the Post FX requires, such as creating Render Targets and shaders, is delayed until the FX is actually used, saving on memory.
  • The PostFXPipeline will now set autoResize to true on all of its RenderTarget instances. This fixes an issue where the PostFXPipeline would not resize the render targets when the game size changed, causing them to become out of sync with the game canvas. Fix #6503 (thanks @Waclaw-I)
  • FX.Blur didn't set the quality parameter to its property, meaning it wasn't applied in the shader, causing it to always use a Low Blur quality (unless modified post-creation).
  • The BlurFXPipeline didn't bind the quality of shader specified in the controller, meaning it always used the Low Blur shader, regardless of what the FX controller asked for.
  • The FXBlurLow fragment shader didn't have the offset uniform. This is now passed in and applied to the resulting blur, preventing it from creating 45 degree artifacts (thanks Wayfinder)
  • Fixed an issue in the way the Tilemap WebGL Renderer would call batchTexture that meant if you applied a PostFX to a Tilemap Layer it would apply the fx for every single tile in the layer, instead of just once per layer. In a simple map this fix has reduced draw calls from over 12,000 to just 52, and it no longer matters how many tiles are on the layer, the cost of applying the FX is consistent regardless.

New Features - Arcade Physics

  • Arcade Physics Bodies have a new method called setDirectControl which toggles a new boolean property directControl. When enabled (it's false by default) it means the Body will calculate its velocity based on its change in position compared to the previous frame. This allows you to directly move a Body around the physics world by just changing its position, without having to use acceleration or velocity. This is useful if you want to move it via a Tween, or follow a Pointer, or a Path. Because its velocity is calculated based on this movement it will still resolve collisions with other bodies, imparting velocity to them as usual.

New Features

  • Text.setRTL is a new method that allows you to set a Text Game Object as being rendered from right-to-left, instead of the default left to right (thanks @rexrainbow)
  • FX.Circle.backgroundAlpha is a new property that allows you to set the amount of the alpha of the background color in the Circle FX (thanks @rexrainbow)
  • Physics.Arcade.World.singleStep is a new method that will advance the Arcade Physics World simulation by exactly 1 step (thanks @monteiz)
  • Tilemaps.ObjectLayer.id is a new property that returns the ID of the Object Layer, if specified within Tiled, or zero otherwise. You can now access the unique layer ID of Tiled layers if the event a map doesn't have unique layer names (thanks @rui-han-crh)
  • Tilemaps.LayerData.id is a new property that returns the ID of the Data Layer, if specified within Tiled, or zero otherwise (thanks @rui-han-crh)
  • Text.setLetterSpacing is a new method and Text.lineSpacing is the related property that allows you to set the spacing between each character of a Text Game Object. The value can be either negative or positive, causing the characters to get closer or further apart. Please understand that enabling this feature will cause Phaser to render each character in this Text object one by one, rather than use a draw for the whole string. This makes it extremely expensive when used with either long strings, or lots of strings in total. You will be better off creating bitmap font text if you need to display large quantities of characters with fine control over the letter spacing (thanks @Ariorh1337)
  • ParticleEmitter.clearDeathZones is a new method that will clear all previously created Death Zones from a Particle Emitter (thanks @rexrainbow)
  • ParticleEmitter.clearEmitZones is a new method that will clear all previously created Emission Zones from a Particle Emitter (thanks @rexrainbow)
  • The GameObject.setTexture method has 2 new optional parameters: updateSize and updateOrigin, which are both passed to the setFrame method and allows you to control if the size and origin of the Game Object should be updated when the texture is set (thanks @Trissolo)
  • Both the Animation Config and the Play Animation Config allow you to set a new boolean property randomFrame. This is false by default, but if set, it will pick a random frame from the animation when it starts playback. This allows for much more variety in groups of sprites created at the same time, using the same animation. This is also reflected in the new Animation.randomFrame and AnimationState.randomFrame properties.
  • You can now use a Phaser.Types.Animations.PlayAnimationConfig object in the anims property of the ParticleEmitter configuration object. This gives you far more control over what happens to the animation when used by particles, including setting random start frames, repeat delays, yoyo, etc. Close #6478 (thanks @michalfialadev)
  • TilemapLayer.setTintFill is a new method that will apply a fill-based tint to the tiles in the given area, rather than an additive-based tint, which is what the setTint method uses.
  • Tile.tintFill is a new boolean property that controls if the tile tint is additive or fill based. This is used in the TilemapLayerWebGLRenderer function.

Updates

  • The WebAudioSoundManager will now bind the body to the removeEventListener method, if it exists, to prevent memory leaks (thanks @wjaykim)
  • The AnimationManager.globalTimeScale property is now applied to all Game Objects using the Animation component, allowing you to globally speed-up or slow down all animating objects (thanks @TJ09)
  • The Rope Game Object now calls initPostPipeline allowing you to use Post FX directly on it, such as glow, blur, etc. Fix #6550 (thanks @rexrainbow)
  • The Tween.stop method will now check to see if Tween.parent is set. If not, it won't try to set a pending removal state or dispatch an event, which should help guard against errors where Tween.stop is called by mistake on already destroyed tweens (thanks @orcomarcio)
  • The Tween.remove method will now check to see if Tween.parent exists before trying to remove it from the parent. This should help guard against errors where Tween.remove is called by mistake on already removed or destroyed tweens. Fix #6539 (thanks @orcomarcio)
  • Particle.alpha is now clamped to the range 0 to 1 within the update method, preventing it from going out of range. Fix #6551 (thanks @orcomarcio)
  • Math.Wrap has been reverted to the previous version. Fix #6479 (thanks @EmilSV)
  • The Graphics Game Object will now set a default line and fill style to fully transparent and black. This prevents issues where a Graphics object would render with a color set in other Shape Game Objects if it had been drawn to and no style was previous set (thanks Whitesmith)
  • The WebGLRenderer will now validate that the mipmapFilter property in the Game Config is a valid mipmap before assigning it.
  • A small amount of unused code has been removed from the Polygon.setTo method (thanks @Trissolo)
  • The WebGLRenderer.deleteFramebuffer method has been updated so it now tests for the existence of a COLOR and DEPTH_STENCIL attachments, and if found, removes the bindings and deletes the stencil buffer. The code that previously deleted the RENDERERBUFFER_BINDING has also been removed to avoid side-effects.
  • If you make a Mesh Game Object interactive, it will now bind to the scope of the Mesh and uses the current faces in the hit area callback, rather than the faces as defined when the Mesh was made interactive. This will help keep the input in sync with a potentially changing Mesh structure (thanks @rexrainbow)
  • iOS and any browser identifying as AppleWebKit will now set the Device.es2019 flag to true. This causes Phaser to use the native array Stable Sort. This fixes an issue where overlapping particles could flicker on iOS. Fix #6483 (thanks @mattkelliher @spayton)
  • The Text.dirty Game Object property has been removed. It wasn't used internally at all, so was just adding confusion and using space.
  • The Request Video Frame polyfill will now check first to see if the browser supports HTMLVideoElement before trying to inspect its prototype. This should help in non-browser environments.
  • Plane.originX and originY are two new read-only properties that return the origin of the Plane, which is always 0.5 (thanks @rexrainbow)
  • The LoaderPlugin will now call removeAllListeners() as part of its shutdown method, which will clear any event listeners bound to a Loader instance of the Scene, during the Scene shutdown. Fix #6633 (thanks @samme)

This fixes an issue where the PostFXPipeline would not resize the render targets when the game size changed, causing them to become out of sync with the game canvas. Fix #6503 #6527 (thanks @Waclaw-I @rexrainbow)
  • Particle.scaleY would always be set to the scaleX value, even if given a different one within the config. It will now use its own value correctly.
  • Array.Matrix.RotateLeft was missing the total parameter, which controls how many times to rotate the matrix.
  • Array.Matrix.RotateRight was missing the total parameter, which controls how many times to rotate the matrix.
  • Array.Matrix.TranslateMatrix didn't work with any translation values above 1 due to missing parameters in RotateLeft and RotateRight
  • FX.Blur didn't set the quality parameter to its property, meaning it wasn't applied in the shader, causing it to always use a Low Blur quality (unless modified post-creation).
  • The BlurFXPipeline didn't bind the quality of shader specified in the controller, meaning it always used the Low Blur shader, regardless of what the FX controller asked for.
  • The FXBlurLow fragment shader didn't have the offset uniform. This is now passed in and applied to the resulting blur, preventing it from creating 45 degree artifacts (thanks Wayfinder)
  • The Tilemap.createFromObjects method wouldn't always copy custom properties to the target objects or Data Manager. Fix #6391 (thanks @samme @paxperscientiam)
  • The scale.min and scale.max width and height properties in Game Config were ignored by the Game constructor, which was expecting minWidth and minHeight. This now matches the documentation. Fix #6501 (thanks @NikitaShpanko @wpederzoli)
  • Due to a copy-paste bug, the Actions.GetLast function had the same code as the GetFirst function. It now does what you'd expect it to do. Fix #6513 (thanks @dmokel)
  • The TilemapLayer.PutTileAt method would use an incorrect local GID if the Tilemap Layer wasn't using all available tilesets. Fix #5931 (thanks @christianvoigt @wjaykim)
  • The TextureManager.addSpriteSheet method would fail if a Texture instance was given as the second parameter, throwing a Cannot read property 'key' of null (thanks @charlieschwabacher)

  • The HexagonalGetTileCorners function incorrectly referenced this within it, instead of layer (thanks @DaliborTrampota)
  • The HexagonalTileToWorldXY function incorrectly referenced this within it, instead of layer (thanks @DaliborTrampota)
  • The BitmapText Game Object will now reset the WebGL Texture unit on flush, which fixes an issue of a flush happening part-way during the rendering a BitmapText (thanks @EmilSV)
  • When using interpolation for a Particle Emitter operation, such as: x: { values: [ 50, 500, 200, 800 ] } it would fail to set the final value unless you specified the interpolation property as well. It now defaults to linear if not given. Fix #6551 (thanks @orcomarcio)
  • The Matter Physics ignoreGravity boolean is now checked during the Matter Engine internal functions, allowing this property to now work again. Fix #6473 (thanks @peer2p)

New Features

  • Text.setRTL is a new method that allows you to set a Text Game Object as being rendered from right-to-left, instead of the default left to right (thanks @rexrainbow)
  • FX.Circle.backgroundAlpha is a new property that allows you to set the amount of the alpha of the background color in the Circle FX (thanks @rexrainbow)
  • Physics.Arcade.World.singleStep is a new method that will advance the Arcade Physics World simulation by exactly 1 step (thanks @monteiz)
  • Tilemaps.ObjectLayer.id is a new property that returns the ID of the Object Layer, if specified within Tiled, or zero otherwise. You can now access the unique layer ID of Tiled layers if the event a map doesn't have unique layer names (thanks @rui-han-crh)
  • Tilemaps.LayerData.id is a new property that returns the ID of the Data Layer, if specified within Tiled, or zero otherwise (thanks @rui-han-crh)
  • Text.setLetterSpacing is a new method and Text.lineSpacing is the related property that allows you to set the spacing between each character of a Text Game Object. The value can be either negative or positive, causing the characters to get closer or further apart. Please understand that enabling this feature will cause Phaser to render each character in this Text object one by one, rather than use a draw for the whole string. This makes it extremely expensive when used with either long strings, or lots of strings in total. You will be better off creating bitmap font text if you need to display large quantities of characters with fine control over the letter spacing (thanks @Ariorh1337)
  • ParticleEmitter.clearDeathZones is a new method that will clear all previously created Death Zones from a Particle Emitter (thanks @rexrainbow)
  • ParticleEmitter.clearEmitZones is a new method that will clear all previously created Emission Zones from a Particle Emitter (thanks @rexrainbow)

Updates

  • The WebAudioSoundManager will now bind the body to the removeEventListener method, if it exists, to prevent memory leaks (thanks @wjaykim)
  • The AnimationManager.globalTimeScale property is now applied to all Game Objects using the Animation component, allowing you to globally speed-up or slow down all animating objects (thanks @TJ09)
  • The Rope Game Object now calls initPostPipeline allowing you to use Post FX directly on it, such as glow, blur, etc. Fix #6550 (thanks @rexrainbow)
  • The Tween.stop method will now check to see if Tween.parent is set. If not, it won't try to set a pending removal state or dispatch an event, which should help guard against errors where Tween.stop is called by mistake on already destroyed tweens (thanks @orcomarcio)
  • The Tween.remove method will now check to see if Tween.parent exists before trying to remove it from the parent. This should help guard against errors where Tween.remove is called by mistake on already removed or destroyed tweens. Fix #6539 (thanks @orcomarcio)
  • Particle.alpha is now clamped to the range 0 to 1 within the update method, preventing it from going out of range. Fix #6551 (thanks @orcomarcio)
  • Math.Wrap has been reverted to the previous version. Fix #6479 (thanks @EmilSV)

Bug Fixes

  • Particle.scaleY would always be set to the scaleX value, even if given a different one within the config. It will now use its own value correctly.
  • Array.Matrix.RotateLeft was missing the total parameter, which controls how many times to rotate the matrix.
  • Array.Matrix.RotateRight was missing the total parameter, which controls how many times to rotate the matrix.
  • Array.Matrix.TranslateMatrix didn't work with any translation values above 1 due to missing parameters in RotateLeft and RotateRight
  • FX.Blur didn't set the quality parameter to its property, meaning it wasn't applied in the shader, causing it to always use a Low Blur quality (unless modified post-creation).
  • The BlurFXPipeline didn't bind the quality of shader specified in the controller, meaning it always used the Low Blur shader, regardless of what the FX controller asked for.
  • The FXBlurLow fragment shader didn't have the offset uniform. This is now passed in and applued to the resulting blur, preventing it from creating 45 degree artifacts (thanks Wayfinder)
  • The Tilemap.createFromObjects method wouldn't always copy custom properties to the target objects or Data Manager. Fix #6391 (thanks @samme @paxperscientiam)
  • The scale.min and scale.max width and height properties in Game Config were ignored by the Game constructor, which was expecting minWidth and minHeight. This now matches the documnentation. Fix #6501 (thanks @NikitaShpanko @wpederzoli)
  • Due to a copy-paste bug, the Actions.GetLast function had the same code as the GetFirst function. It now does what you'd expect it to do. Fix #6513 (thanks @dmokel)
  • The TilemapLayer.PutTileAt method would use an incorrect local GID if the Tilemap Layer wasn't using all available tilesets. Fix #5931 (thanks @christianvoigt @wjaykim)
  • The TextureManager.addSpriteSheet method would fail if a Texture instance was given as the second parameter, throwing a Cannot read property 'key' of null (thanks @charlieschwabacher)
  • The HexagonalCullBounds function incorrectly referenced this within it, instead of layer (thanks @DaliborTrampota)
  • The HexagonalGetTileCorners function incorrectly referenced this within it, instead of layer (thanks @DaliborTrampota)
  • The HexagonalTileToWorldXY function incorrectly referenced this within it, instead of layer (thanks @DaliborTrampota)
  • The BitmapText Game Object will now reset the WebGL Texture unit on flush, which fixes an issue of a flush happened part-way during the rendering a BitmapText (thanks @EmilSV)
  • When using interpolation for a Particle Emitter operation, such as: x: { values: [ 50, 500, 200, 800 ] } it would fail to set the final value unless you specified the interpolation property as well. It now defaults to linear if not given. Fix #6551 (thanks @orcomarcio)
  • The Matter Physics ignoreGravity boolean is now checked during the Matter Engine internal functions, allowing this property to now work again. Fix #6473 (thanks @peer2p)

  • PhysicsGroup will now set the classType and null the config when an array of single configuration objects is given in the constructor. Fix #6519 (thanks @samme)
  • The PathFollower.pathUpdate method will now check if the tween property has a valid data component before running the update. This prevents a call to PathFollower.stopFollow from throwing a Cannot read properties of null (reading '0') error as it tried to do a single update post stop. Fix #6508 (thanks @francois-dibulo)

Version 3.60.0 - Miku - in development

New Features - Timeline Class

Phaser 3.60 has a new Timeline Class which allows for fine-grained control of sequenced events. Previously in 3.55 the Timeline was part of the Tween system and it never quite worked as intended. In 3.60 it has been removed from Tweens entirely, replaced with the much more solid and reliable Tween Chains and Timeline has now becomes its own first-class citizen within Phaser. It allows you to sequence any event you like, not just tweens.

A Timeline is a way to schedule events to happen at specific times in the future. You can think of it as an event sequencer for your game, allowing you to schedule the running of callbacks, events and other actions at specific times in the future.

A Timeline is a Scene level system, meaning you can have as many Timelines as you like, each belonging to a different Scene. You can also have multiple Timelines running at the same time.

If the Scene is paused, the Timeline will also pause. If the Scene is destroyed, the Timeline will be automatically destroyed. However, you can control the Timeline directly, pausing, resuming and stopping it at any time.

Create an instance of a Timeline via the Game Object Factory:

const timeline = this.add.timeline();

The Timeline always starts paused. You must call play on it to start it running.

You can also pass in a configuration object on creation, or an array of them:

const timeline = this.add.timeline({
    at: 1000,
    run: () => {
        this.add.sprite(400, 300, 'logo');
    }
});

timeline.play();

In this example we sequence a few different events:

const timeline = this.add.timeline([
    {
        at: 1000,
        run: () => { this.logo = this.add.sprite(400, 300, 'logo'); },
        sound: 'TitleMusic'
    },
    {
        at: 2500,
        tween: {
            targets: this.logo,
            y: 600,
            yoyo: true
        },
        sound: 'Explode'
    },
    {
        at: 8000,
        event: 'HURRY_PLAYER',
        target: this.background,
        set: {
            tint: 0xff0000
        }
    }
]);

timeline.play();

There are lots of options available to you via the configuration object. See the TimelineEventConfig typedef for more details.

New Features - ESM Support

Phaser 3.60 uses the new release of Webpack 5 in order to handle the builds. The configurations have been updated to follow the new format this upgrade introduced. As a bonus, Webpack 5 also bought a new experimental feature called 'output modules', which will take a CommonJS code-base, like Phaser uses and wrap the output in modern ES Module declarations.

We are now using this as part of our build. You will find in the dist folder a new phaser.esm.js file, which is also linked in from our package.json module property. Using this build you can access any of the Phaser modules directly via named imports, meaning you can code like this:

import { AUTO, Scene, Game } from './phaser.esm.js';

class Test extends Scene
{
    constructor ()
    {
        super();
    }

    create ()
    {
        this.add.text(10, 10, 'Welcome to Phaser ESM');
    }
}

const config = {
    type: AUTO,
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
    parent: 'phaser-example',
    scene: [ Test ]
};

const game = new Game(config);

Note that we're importing from the local esm bundle. By using this approach you don't need to even use a bundler for quick local prototyping or testing, you can simply import and code directly.

The dist folder still also contains phaser.js which, as before, uses a UMD export.

Because the Webpack feature is experimental we won't make the ESM version the default just yet, but if you're curious and want to explore, please go ahead!

New Features - Built-in Special FX

We have decided to bundle a selection of highly flexible special effect shaders in to Phaser 3.60 and provide access to them via an easy to use set of API calls. The FX included are:

  • Barrel - A nice pinch / bulge distortion effect.
  • Bloom - Add bloom to any Game Object, with custom offset, blur strength, steps and color.
  • Blur - 3 different levels of gaussian blur (low, medium and high) and custom distance and color.
  • Bokeh / TiltShift - A bokeh and tiltshift effect, with intensity, contrast and distance settings.
  • Circle - Add a circular ring around any Game Object, useful for masking / avatar frames, with custom color, width and background color.
  • ColorMatrix - Add a ColorMatrix to any Game Object with access to all of its methods, such as sepia, greyscale, lsd and lots more.
  • Displacement - Use a displacement texture, such as a noise texture, to drastically (or subtly!) alter the appearance of a Game Object.
  • Glow - Add a smooth inner or outer glow, with custom distance, strength and color.
  • Gradient - Draw a gradient between two colors across any Game Object, with optional 'chunky' mode for classic retro style games.
  • Pixelate - Make any Game Object appear pixelated, to a varying degree.
  • Shadow - Add a drop shadow behind a Game Object, with custom depth and color.
  • Shine - Run a 'shine' effect across a Game Object, either additively or as part of a reveal.
  • Vignette - Apply a vignette around a Game Object, with custom offset position, radius and color.
  • Wipe - Set a Game Object to 'wipe' or 'reveal' with custom line width, direction and axis of the effect.

What's more, the FX can be stacked up. You could add, for example, a Barrel followed by a Blur and then topped-off with a Circle effect. Just by adjusting the ordering you can achieve some incredible and unique effects, very quickly.

We've worked hard to make the API as easy to use as possible, too. No more messing with pipelines or importing plugins. You can simply do:

const player = this.add.sprite(x, y, texture);

player.preFX.addGlow(0xff0000, 32);

This will add a 32 pixel red glow around the player Sprite.

Each effect returns a new FX Controller instance, allowing you to easily adjust the special effects in real-time via your own code, tweens and similar:

const fx = container.postFX.addWipe();

this.tweens.add({
    targets: fx,
    progress: 1
});

This will add a Wipe Effect to a Container instance and then tween its progress value from 0 to 1, causing the wipe to play out.

All texture-based Game Objects have access to Pre FX (so that includes Images, Sprites, TileSprites, Text, RenderTexture and Video). However, all Game Objects have access to Post FX, as do cameras. The difference is just when the effect is applied. For a 'pre' effect, it is applied before the Game Object is drawn. For a 'post' effect, it's applied after it has been drawn. All of the same effects are available to both.

this.cameras.main.postFX.addTiltShift();

For example, this will apply a Tilt Shift effect to everything being rendered by the Camera. Which is a much faster way of doing it than applying the same effect to every child in a Scene. You can also apply them to Containers, allowing more fine-grained control over the display.

The full list of new methods are as follows:

Available only to texture-based Game Objects:

  • GameObject.preFX an instance of the FX Controller, which allows you to add and remove Pre FX from the Game Object. It features methods such as add, remove and clear. Plus the following:

  • GameObject.preFX.addGlow adds a Glow Pre FX effect to the Game Object.

  • GameObject.preFX.addShine adds a Shine Pre FX effect to the Game Object.

  • GameObject.preFX.addBlur adds a Blur Pre FX effect to the Game Object.

  • GameObject.preFX.addGradient adds a Gradient Pre FX effect to the Game Object.
