Vector(​[x][, y])

Vector​.add(​vector[, dt]) #

Return a new Vector whose value is the addition of the current Vector and the passed in Vector. If dt is provided, the result is multiplied by the value.

add Parameters

vector

Vector. Vector to add to the current Vector.

dt Optional

Number. Time since last update. Defaults to 1.

add Return value

A new Vector instance.

Vector​.clamp(​xMin, yMin, xMax, yMax) #

Clamp the Vector between two points, preventing x and y from going below or above the minimum and maximum values. Perfect for keeping a sprite from going outside the game boundaries.

let { Vector } = kontra;

let vector = Vector(100, 200);
vector.clamp(0, 0, 200, 300);

vector.x += 200;
console.log(vector.x);  //=> 200

vector.y -= 300;
console.log(vector.y);  //=> 0

vector.add({x: -500, y: 500});
console.log(vector);    //=> {x: 0, y: 300}

import { Vector } from 'path/to/kontra.mjs';

let vector = Vector(100, 200);

vector.y -= 300;
console.log(vector.y);  //=> 0
