I'm in the middle of making a start-screen for my JavaScript Breakout game. I've (poorly) made the background and a play button.
The background is inside the canvas, which I want. But when I want to place the clickable play button ontop of the background in the canvas, it disappears. I've tried making another picture, and I can place that ontop, I just cant make it clickable.
I dont know what the best solution is, I'm very new to JavaScript.
//Script
var background = new Image();
background.src="breakoutbg.png";
var play = new Image();
play.src="breaoutplay.png";
var startBtn = document.getElementById('startBtn');
//game
function drawCanvas() {
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.drawImage(background,0,0);
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath();
}
function drawPlay() {
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.drawImage(play,250,250);
ctx.fill();clickable;
ctx.closePath();
}
<div id="container">
<button type="button" id="startBtn" onclick="draw()" >
<img src="breaoutplay.png">
</button>
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="600" height="550"></canvas>
</div>
I dont know if I gave enough of the code, for someone to have an Idea about it. The entire code is on github: https://github.com/katrinemira/katrinemira.github.io/blob/master/breakout.html
Add this to ur CSS
#container {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
#startBtn {
border: none;
background: none;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
z-index: 1;
transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
-webkit-transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
-moz-transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
-ms-transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
}
The above code will place the button on the canvas in the center.
Also add z-index: 1; to the button to place it on top of canvas
<html>
<head>
<center>
<style>
body {
background-color: black;
}
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
canvas {
background: #353d49;
display: block;
margin: 100px;
}
#startBtn {
border: none;
background: none;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
z-index: 1;
transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
-webkit-transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
-moz-transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
-ms-transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
}
#container {
