TCJSgame Pro: The Ultimate JavaScript Game Engine Evolution
After months of development and community feedback, I'm thrilled to announce TCJSgame Pro - a complete rewrite and enhancement of the beloved TCJSgame engine that takes JavaScript game development to the next level.
🚀 What's New in TCJSgame Pro?
Performance Revolution
The biggest game-changer in TCJSgame Pro is the built-in performance optimization system:
// Automatic performance optimization
display.perform(); // Switches to requestAnimationFrame with smart culling
// Or use the high-performance game loop directly
function TCJSgameGameAreaToIncreasePerformance() {
// Smart rendering with viewport culling
// Only renders objects within the game area
// 60+ FPS guaranteed
}
Key Performance Features:
- Smart Viewport Culling: Objects outside the game area are automatically skipped
- requestAnimationFrame Integration: Buttery smooth 60 FPS gameplay
- Optimized Rendering Pipeline: Reduced canvas operations
- Memory Efficient: Better garbage collection management
Enhanced Camera System
class Camera {
constructor(x = 0, y = 0, worldWidth = 1000, worldHeight = 1000) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.target = null;
this.speed = 5;
this.worldWidth = worldWidth;
this.worldHeight = worldHeight;
}
follow(target, smooth = false) {
if (smooth) {
// Smooth camera follow with easing
this.x += (target.x - this.x) * 0.1;
this.y += (target.y - this.y) * 0.1;
} else {
// Direct camera follow
this.x = target.x - display.canvas.width / 2;
this.y = target.y - display.canvas.height / 2;
}
}
}
Advanced Movement Physics
// New acceleration and deceleration system
move.accelerate(player, 0.5, 0, 10, 10); // (object, accelX, accelY, maxSpeedX, maxSpeedY)
move.decelerate(player, 0.1, 0.1); // Smooth stopping
// Projectile motion with realistic physics
move.project(bullet, 10, 45, 0.1); // (object, velocity, angle, gravity)
// Smart positioning
move.position(player, "center"); // "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "center"
Particle System Built-in
// Create stunning particle effects with one line
const explosion = new ParticleSystem(
x, y, // Position
"orange", // Color
50, // Particle count
5, // Size
10, // Speed
60, // Lifetime (frames)
0.1 // Gravity
);
// Particles automatically handle physics and cleanup
Enhanced Tilemap Engine
// Advanced tilemap management
display.tileMap(); // Initialize tile system
// Dynamic tile manipulation
tileMap.add(tileId, x, y); // Add tile at position
tileMap.remove(x, y); // Remove tile
tileMap.rTile(x, y); // Get tile reference
// Smart collision detection
if (tileMap.crashWith(player, tileId)) {
// Handle specific tile type collisions
}
Improved Audio System
// Robust audio handling with automatic retry
const sound = new Sound("explosion.mp3");
sound.volume = 0.7; // Easy volume control
sound.play(); // Automatic retry on browser restrictions
// Handles modern browser audio policies gracefully

📚 Getting Started
Basic Setup
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My TCJSgame Pro Game</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="tcjsgame-pro.js"></script>
<script>
// Initialize display
const display = new Display();
display.start(800, 600);
// Create a player
const player = new Component(50, 50, "blue", 100, 100, "rect");
player.physics = true;
display.add(player);
// Game loop
function update() {
// Input handling
if (display.keys[39]) player.speedX = 5; // Right arrow
if (display.keys[37]) player.speedX = -5; // Left arrow
if (display.keys[38]) player.speedY = -5; // Up arrow
if (display.keys[40]) player.speedY = 5; // Down arrow
// Camera follows player smoothly
display.camera.follow(player, true);
}
// Enable performance mode
display.perform();
</script>
</body>
</html>
Advanced Example: Platformer Game
// Create player
const player = new Component(32, 32, "red", 50, 50, "rect");
player.physics = true;
player.bounce = 0.2;
display.add(player);
// Create platforms using tilemap
display.map = [
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
];
display.tile = [
null, // 0 = empty
new Component(100, 30, "green", 0, 0) // 1 = platform
];
display.tileMap();
// Game logic
function update() {
// Jump when space is pressed and on ground
if (display.keys[32] && player.gravitySpeed === 0) {
player.gravitySpeed = -15;
}
// Horizontal movement
player.speedX = 0;
if (display.keys[39]) player.speedX = 5;
if (display.keys[37]) player.speedX = -5;
// Camera follow
display.camera.follow(player, true);
}
🔧 Performance Tips
-
Use
display.perform()for automatic optimization - Enable physics only when needed on components
- Use tilemaps for static level geometry
-
Hide off-screen objects with
component.hide() - Use particle systems for multiple similar objects
