Check out my TypeScript tutorials on my channel. There are two. While they use Kaboom the process is the same with Kaplay. Try the Kirby-like one.

@@JSLegendDev make a kaplay one with typescript i want hands on.

@TutorialTitans1 I might but no promises yet.

Thanks for watching!

Hi! Vampire Survivor was made in Phaser a JavaScript framework for making games. There is a version of it still on itch.io that you can play in your web browser. To bring that game to Steam. Poncle, the dev behind this game, packaged it as a desktop app using Electron. Which is a technology for making desktop apps in JS. The game got popular on Steam when it was still made with Phaser and JS. If I remember correctly, they switched to Unity because the mobile performance was not enough. Otherwise, on desktop the game ran well even with many enemies. In fact, you can try playing the game on itch.io in your browser. In the Noclip documentary on Vampire Survivor available on RUclips, poncle mentioned that he still develops new features for the game in Phaser and then hand it over to his Unity team to remake it in Unity. So you can still get quite far with JS when it comes to 2D games.

@@JSLegendDev Hello, Yes, and it's abandoned and slow as a hippo, and the main one released on steam is not as you say in the video in electron, but was rewritten in C# in unity. Edit: I must add, that I do not want to criticize js, it is an outstanding prog language for web and it has great tools too. But it is simply not suitable for desktop applications due to how it was designed and the backward compatibility is dragging on behind it.

@@GarkadeXD 90% could work with kaplay without modifications but this uses an older version of kaboom. So you'll have to write the remaining 10% differently.

Simply not using the letterbox option would make sure the canvas takes the full width and height of the screen. Then, you can create a game object and make it take the full width and height of the canvas. This game object can contain a colored rectangle or an image and will act as your background. You can use the k.onResize() handler to update the width and height of the game object when the window is resized.

Hard to tell without seeing your code. It could be possible that the issue is that the positioning is wrong for your map (I'm assuming that you decided to use your own map). You could try downloading the source code and comparing with yours. The link is in the description.

@@JSLegendDev in chrome it says the error is about drawtiles not being defined but i followed your steps so i hope i fix whatever's going on with the drawtiles

Thanks for the suggestion, I will consider it.
