    •                                     var oMain = new CMain({
                                        wheel_spin_time: 14,    //TIME (in seconds) OF A SPIN

    E) CSS Files and Structure - top

    The game use two CSS files. The first one is a generic reset file. Many browser interpret the default behavior of html elements differently. By using a general reset CSS file, we can work round this. Keep in mind, that these values might be overridden somewhere else in the file.

    The second file contains all of the specific stylings for the canvas and some hack to be fully compatible with all most popular mobile devices

    F) Source Code - top

    This game contains:

    1. jQuery
    2. Our custom scripts
    3. CreateJs plugin
    1. jQuery is a Javascript library that greatly reduces the amount of code that you must write.
    2. The game have the following js files:
      • CMain: the main class called by the index file.
        This file controls the sprite_lib.js file that manages the sprite loading, the loop game and initialize the canvas with the CreateJs library
      • screenfull: this file manages the fullscreen functionality
      • ctl_utils: this file manages the canvas resize and its centering
      • howler.min: this class manages the sounds
      • sprite_lib: this class loads all images declared in the main class
      • settings: general game settings
      • CLang: global string variables for language localization
      • CPreloader: simple text preloader to show resources loading progress
      • CMenu: simple menu with the play button
      • CGfxButton: this class create a standard button
      • CToggle: this class create a standard toggle button
      • CTextButton: this class create a standard text button
      • CGame: this class manages the game logic
      • CInterface: this class controls game GUI that contains text and buttons
      • CHelpPanel: the help panel that is shown before game starting
      • CFormatText: this class manages the texts on the wheel
      • CLeds: this class manages the led animation of the wheel
      • CWheel: this class manages the wheel and its animations
      • CAreYouSurePanel: this class ensure the confirm to exit from game
      • CCircularList: this class adds some help functionality
      • CComplexFrame: this class builds the images of the wheel
      • CCreditsPanel: this class shows the credits
      • CInstantLosePanel: this class shows the lose panel
      • CInstantWinPanel: this class shows the win panel
      • CLoadingPanel: this class shows the loading panel when the wheel's images are loading
      • CReel: this class manages the wheel parts and its animations
      • CTweenController: this class manages the animation ease
    3. CreateJs is a suite of modular libraries and tools which work together to enable rich interactive content on open web technologies via HTML5.

    Resuming, the complete game flow is the following:

    1. The index.html file calls the CMain.js file after ready event is called
    2. The main class calls CPreloader.js to init preloader text and start sprite loading
    3. When all sprites contained in "/sprites" and "/sounds" folder are loaded, the main class removes the preloader and calls the CMenu.js file that shows the main menu
    4. If the user click the Play button in main menu, the CGame.js class is called and game starts
    5. If the user click on the exit button in the down-right corner, the game returns to the menu screen

    In this section will be explained all the most important functions used in CGame.js file.

    H) Change Graphic - top

    You can easily change all the game graphic, replacing all the file you need in the "/sprites" folder. Just respect file format (.png or .jpg) and size if you don't want to change any code line.

    I) Disable Sounds - top
