Globals

Besides bare, a few helpers are available everywhere without an import.

Waiting

await wait(0.5);        // wait half a second
await waitFrame();      // wait one game frame
await waitFrame(3);     // wait three game frames

Function	Description
wait(seconds, persistent?)	Resolves after a number of seconds.
waitFrame(frames?, persistent?)	Resolves after a number of game frames (fixed updates), so movement and collisions have run in between. Default 1.
cancelWaits()	Cancels every pending wait that isn't persistent.

Logging and checks

Function	Description
trace(...values)	Like console.log, but only on the dev server, so it stays quiet in your released game.
assert(condition, message?)	Throws an error with message when condition is false.

Values

Global	Description
bScene	The current scene, rewritten to this or this.scene like the scene modules.
rapid	The renderer. See below.
debug	Whether debug drawing is on. See Debugging.
isDev	Running from the Vite dev server (__DEV__), not a production build.
isMobile	Running on a phone or tablet.
hasFocus	The game's tab has focus.

The renderer

Bare renders with Rapid, a fast WebGL renderer, available as the global rapid. Its classes are exported from bare-engine: Texture, RenderTexture, TextTexture, ParticleEmitter, and more. Use them when the engine's own API isn't enough, for example rapid.setTextureFilter(TextureFilterMode.NEAREST).

See the Rapid.js documentation for everything it can do.
