Events

Overview

Use Events to interface with the parent window for your game after you export to the web. This is most commonly used to start and stop ads, but can also be used for any interaction between your game and the website it is hosted on.

API

events::emit

This sends an event that you can read from your main.js after you export your game.

events::emit(name: &str, data: &str)

Usage

Reading Events in JavaScript

After you export, you can read your event calls by using an EventListener. Add this code to your main.js file.

window.addEventListener("turboGameEvent", (e) => {
    console.log(e.detail);
 
    // Check for the name of the event, and perform the required action
    if (e.detail && e.detail.name === "your_event_name") {
      //This will fire when your turbo event is called
      console.log("Detected Turbo Event");
    }
});

Pausing and Resuming

You can also fully pause your game from JavaScript (e.g. while an ad is playing). You can do that using this code in your main.js:

turbo.pause();

turbo.resume();
