So some of you pretty much know I've moved from Code.org's programming 'thing'. For those of you doing ES6 JavaScript, here's a mining animation I made if anyone wants it:

`
//declare this.allowed and set it to false, declare this.clicked and set it to true. declare this.rotation = 0 in your constructor

const angle = Math.atan2(mouse.y - this.y, mouse.x - this.x);
this.rotation = angle;

if (this.clicked == true && this.rotationOff > -1.5) this.rotationOff -= Math.PI / 15
if (this.rotationOff <= -1.5) {
  this.rotationOff += Math.PI / 15;
  this.clicked = false;
} else if (this.rotationOff == 0) this.allowed = true
if(this.rotationOff > -1.5 && this.rotationOff < 0 && this.clicked == false) this.rotationOff += Math.PI / 15
if(this.rotationOff > 0) {
  this.rotationOff = 0
  if(mouse.holding == true) {
    this.clicked = true
  }
}

//declare mouse.holding = false
addEventListener('mouseup', (event) => {mouse.holding = false})
addEventListener('mouseup', (event) => {mouse.holding = true})

`

If you don't understand just dont worry about it.

That's cool and all but almost nothing in that is regarded as ES6.. all you did was use ES5 identical code and added a single variable with const (which in this context, I don't think should it should be declared using const). Plus, you aren't using arrow function properly. You don't need to add the parameter in the callback, and curly brackets aren't needed for code that's only one line long.

"If you don't understand just dont worry about it."

Im not even going to explain why this is such a bad statement to say...

    ackvonhuelio ok; so what did i just read???? what is ES6 Javascript, what is ES5 javascript, where do i find this ES6 javascript,

        person ES5 and ES6 are different versions of Javascript. think of ES6 like an update. In ES6 they added some changes to functions, variables, and just in general some new stuff to use. Most browsers and websites use the updated version, but code.org is stuck in ES5 for whatever reason.

            Letti42 And what about this
            addEventListener('mouseup', (event) => {mouse.holding = false})
            addEventListener('mouseup', (event) => {mouse.holding = true})

                Letti42 Tbh code.org's programming system isnt even ES5, it's something less than that . . .

                  person You just read some constructor code. ES6 is ES5 javascript but with some updates (read more here (https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_es6.asp))

                  Also there's ES7, 8, 9 and 10, but with only a small update

                  You don't 'FIND' the newer versions, your browser should already support them. The way newer versions might not be compatible for all browsers thoug (es7, 8, 9, 10, you'd have to do your own reasearch).

                  If you're using cdo, they're never gonna update it, so if you want to

                  get there

                  you can just download your own code editor (i recommend sublime text cause u can auto save)

                    ok ima take a wild guess, Gerald van baron the second

                    ASmartCoder dawg didn't even read my reply‼️‼️😂🥶🥶💯

                    addEventListener('mouseup', (event) => {mouse.holding = false})
addEventListener('mouseup', (event) => {mouse.holding = true})

                    ->>

                    addEventListener('mouseup', () => mouse.holding = false);
addEventListener('mouseup', () => mouse.holding = true);

                    if you want to make it even shorter:

                    .onmouseup = ()=> mouse.holding = false;

                    also 2 onmouseup events? or are they for different elements

                        Though I am wondering.. are you still using a p5 library? If you are then there isn't much different from code.org's es5, other than a bit more freedom with some functions... it all still does the same thing

                          Letti42 Not really
                          sprites have a limited amount of things that you can actually implement on.
                          For example, the main properites of sprites that we all know is x, y, width, height, rotation. But you're limited in a way. Cdo pre-built the constructor, the canvas, and some other things, and making your own class is forbidden (class for sprites)

                              Letti42
                              calling someone a dog is dehumanizing.
                              morons like you keep pulling our society down.

                                  ASmartCoder
                                  a sprite is just a constructor, so you can(actually I did once) add a bunch of properties and then define your own usages for those properties
                                  for example,:
                                  // made a new sprite function cuz i don't wanna go through CDO code and find what the actual sprite constructor is called in order to make a prototype function thingy
                                  function makeySprite(x,y){
                                  this.sprite = createSprite(x,y);
                                  this.sprite.dog = 0;
                                  }
                                  makeySprite.prototype.dehumanize = function(){
                                  this.sprite.dog += 1;
                                  };
                                  var sprite = new makeySprite(200,200);
                                  sprite.dehumanize();

                                      technically thats just calling them a furry

                                      ackvonhuelio yo please tell me your joking 😂😂 aint no way mans think I called him an actual dog

                                        ASmartCoder well thing is you can extend the constructor of createSprite but you kinda have to fuck wit it to get what you want ackvonhuelio has spared your eyes you should be grateful lmao also createSprite should just be an extension of the Sprite() class since it's based off p5.play

                                              Varrience
                                              why do they teach people to use createSprite() instead of new Sprite()???
                                              seems like its kinda unnecessary, gets rid of a possible introduction to constructors, and creates a pain for people like me who want to extend the Sprite() constructor

                                                  ackvonhuelio true... i assume it's to get people started with functions maybe? constructors may be a bit much to show someone when there just starting out as well but that's definitely something they probably should incorporate especially since there starting java lab which basically relies off of object to get anything running

                                                    ackvonhuelio The point of Gamelab is too be able to be taught to students (little gross kids) who are probably 8 year olds. It may introduce them to constructors early on, but think about it - is it easier to teach a kid, "oh, just use this function!", or to instead have a whole lesson on how constructors work? Gamelab is a tool for teaching, and presenting the kids with a completely new concept is way too hard for both code.org and the teachers..

                                                        well i see his point because new sprite makes more sense than create sprite

                                                        Letti42 Well I learned constructors pretty easy, and constructors aren't that hard to learn. also gamelab uses a p5.js library, so it's not really that useful . . .
