Blocks fading out to end a level
The
makeBlocksFall
function is very similar to
fadeBlocks
. It iterates through all of the
Block
objects in the
board
2D array. Instead of calling
startFade
, it calls
startFalling
, passing the
bottom of the screen plus the height of a
Block
(
gameHeight + BLOCK_HEIGHT
) as the first
parameter (
fallEndY
). We pass this value so that the entire object will leave the screen before it
is removed from the screen. The second parameter is a random value that will be used for the
speed
of the
Block
(to make the falling not look completely uniform).
public function makeBlocksFall():void {
for (var r:int = 0; r < board.length; r++) {
for (var c:int = 0; c < board[r].length; c++) {
tempBlock = board[r][c];
tempBlock.startFalling(gameHeight + BLOCK_HEIGHT, (Math.random()*15)+10);
}
}
}
Finally, we have come to
endGame
and
endLevel
function. Both functions call
cleanUpevel
before
they dispatch the proper event to
Main
. The
cleanUpLevel
function iterates through all the
Block
objects in the
board
2D array by calling
removeBlock
.
public function endGame():void {
cleanUpLevel();
dispatchEvent(new Event(GAME_OVER));
