understanding what "return" does in demo 3 at some spots in the code
I just realized that return; is the same as making the item return undefined, which is is the same as saying it no longer exist which is what we want once the enemy goes off screen! still kinda odd how the .each loop will continue to spit out enemi…

understanding what "return" does in demo 3 at some spots in the code
I know that is what "should" happen. But if you test it out yourself, and place return false there in your demo 3 game, you will see that the enemy ships will still continue to come out and then remove themselves from the DOM when the lea…

understanding what "return" does in demo 3 at some spots in the code

understanding what "return" does in demo 3 at some spots in the code
I think I'm getting it now. we're not trying to abort the .each() function, we're simply aborting the current element that is in place, and the best way to do that is to use return; which then allows the .each() function to keep goin…

ok so its trying to end the .each() function early based on a condition. Would "return false" produce the same intent/effect as having return;? Thanks

How to animate an item in the background across the screen only once
Nevermind, gQ gets better and better as I understand that I can stop or remove animations with the help of the jQuery API and looking at activities under firebug. I also now understand that gQ.ANIMATION_ONCE is for multi-frame animations. Also, wi…

Thunderfight 20xx appears really smooth in IE9 and Chrome 21
Thank you Selim. I'll experiment with that advice. I got a feeling that IE9 and Chrome do have better hardware-accelerated features built in, but I can't prove that. Perhaps they will get better for FireFox and Safari over time. Thanks a…

I added that to my animation - now the console.log loads the text when the DOM is ready (even earlier). This is what I have.... var bg = { ani1 : new $.gQ.Animation({imageURL: "http://dev.jquery/gamequery/mimages/bg1.png"}), ani2 …

how to change background groups/sprites through a game?
So for example, when a new sprite or group is loaded towards the end of the level (the boss enemy), use the callback feature to then load a new background transition sprite? Also do you have API instructions on how to delete a group or sprite from …

FINAL BOSS
what does this part mean, specially the [0] player respawn()? wouldn't it be better to detect if the final boss was defeated? if($("#player")[0].player.respawn()){ and would this still be reliable in 0.7 of gameQuery? Thanks!

Can we remove the position style from being dynamically inlined on the playground div element?
On a simular note, can we remove from being dynamically generated as a parent element around #startbutton ID. That can easily be implemented with CSS. And it may be the case where someone doesn't want the text to be centered, but position els…
