Forums » Help » Results screen and variables

I have created a results screen as follows:

BasketResults = ig.Game.extend({ });

From the game screen I do:

ig.system.setGame(BasketResults);

Now I need to access from the result screen to the variables of the game and I can not. The only option is to use global variables like ig.global.xxxx?

Depending on how your game is set up theres a few ways to handle this. It looks like you have multiple game instances so you could do something similar to what I am doing.

I keep my level/game specific variables in that game instance. So ig.game.totalBadKilled for example.

When I load the Results Screen I pass that variable to the Results Game.

When I exit the Results Screen Game, I save the results to localstorage, so I can access them at anytime.

Theres a plugin to easily access local storage out there and one for passing data between game instances too, or you could spin your own too.

I'm sure there may be better ways but here is what works for me:

I'm using a global object like you suggested, let's say player

I extend the class just as normal: ig.Player : ig.Class.extend (......)

then in main.js:
ig.global.myPlayer = new ig.Player();

Then I stuff everything that should be permanent in it, like scores, level info etc.. You can also write functions for that global class.

Thanks to all

For now I will use the option given by dungeonmaster. Another related question:

Now if I create a pause screen with a menu and do the same as before:

ig.system.setGame (BasketPause);

You can exit the pause screen and return to the game screen? I have to create the pause screen in another way?
