Question

I’m building a game, and for my players I have a player class. This class defines things like their name, xpos, ypos etc. In my main game loop, I have to iterate over all of the current players (it’s multiplayer) and update/draw them.

Problem is, I don’t know how to store the players in the game class. I tried doing this in the game class:

this.players = [];

And then:

game.players.push(new player(name));

But I get this error:

Uncaught TypeError: object is not a function

I always thought I could have objects as array elements, but apparently not.

Could someone advise a better way to do what I want?

Answer 1

Have you defined the player constructor function?

There will need to be code somewhere that follows this format:

    function player(name) {
        this.name = name;

        // Initialise other members here.
    }
