JavaScript basic clicker game code example
Example: JavaScript basic clicker game
//Basic variables (the currency in this example is lemons)
var incrementInterval = 10 //This is done so the code in the setInterval function runs 10 times per second
var lemons = 0.0
var lemonsPerClick = 1.0
var lemonsPerIncrement = 0.0
//Function for clicking to get lemons
function addLemons() {
lemons += lemonsPerClick
updateLemons()
}
//Function for updating the lemon counter
function updateLemons() {
document.getElementById("lemonCounter").innerHTML = `Lemons: ${Math.floor(lemons)}`
}
//Function that returns the target's value if it were to be divided into 1 second relative to milleseconds
function incrementValue(target) {
return target / (1000 / (incrementInterval * 10)) //Target divided by one second
}
//Function that runs the following code repeatedly (function, milleseconds before running again)
setInterval(function() {
lemons += incrementValue(lemonsPerIncrement)
updateLemons()
}, incrementInterval * 10)
