Along with the upgrading engine technology, HTML5 gaming has grown steadily in its industrial ecosystem, the number & quality of games as well as its market. Meanwhile, more and more game developers opt to build the hardcore, high-quality and multi-platform games.
The adoption of HTML5 technology not only ensures that the quality of game is compatible with native games but also increases revenue for game developers. Thus, the solution for packaging HTML5 game is a must-have feature in HTML5 engine.
Egretia Native, as one of main products, aims to enable developers to release game to multi-platform by one-click and simplify the method of game release. Egretia Native can power 2D game and 3D game with high efficiency in packaging and running performance.
Features:
Power 3D games and 3D/2D hybrid games
Egretia Native allows users to package 3D game developed by Egretia engine with high efficiency and power 2D&3D hybrid games by automatically optimizing the rendering. Its architecture and design ensure that game can run smoothly and rendering can be improved among plenty objects at same time.
2.Reduce the package size
There is concern about the package size of native game, except for the efficiency. Egretia Native reduces the package size without prejudice to the function and efficiency of game.
The size of empty project package is as follows:
IOS: ipa file 2.3M
Android: apk file 18.7M
Notably, Egretia Native supports three different CPU architectures in Android:
· ARM EABI
· ARM EABI-v7A
· x86

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a fruit slicing game by using Egretia Pro. There’s a lot to cover — so let’s get started!
Creating fruits
— Recognize the meshes and materials that make up the model
Fruit →3D model →Game entity
These 3D models can be imported through another program (such as 3dmax or Maya) or the meshes created by program
After creating a cube in the scene or dragging and drop a 3d model in Egretia Pro, you will find that each model contains two components:
• MeshFilter records the mesh data you want to display
MeshRenderer shows the mesh how to render, such as which shader to use, whether to accept shadows and other settings
In the fruit slicing game, you’ve noticed that the fruit is cut into pieces by us. Thus, it’s time to create the model via programming. Here is some information mainly about mesh creation.
Attributes of mesh
• Vertex coordinates (vertex)
• Normal
• Texture coordinates (uv)
Vertex Index
Vertex coordinates: The vertex coordinate array stores the spatial coordinates of each vertex of the Mesh. If a mesh has n vertices and each vertex is a three-dimensional coordinate point, the length of vertices equals n*3
Normal: The normal array stores the normal of each vertex of the mesh, and the length of normal is equal to the length of vertex
• The normal is the vector perpendicular to the surface. We usually use a normal vector of unit length, and the dyadic vector points to the outside of the surface instead of the inside.
• The normal can be used to determine the angle between the light and the vertex.
Texture coordinates: It defines the information of the position of each point on the image. Combining with the 3D model, these points determine the location of the surface texture map. UV provides an accurate correspondence with each point of image for surface of the model object. uv[i] corresponds to vertex[i]
Vertex index: Each mesh is composed of several triangles, and the three points of the triangle are the points in the vertex coordinates. And the sequence of these points’ connection is the vertex index.
Next, let’s compile a component to print the information of log and view the mesh information of Plane and Cube.
Build Mesh
Firstly, create a 3d entity;
Secondly, add MeshFilter and MeshRender components to the entity;
Thirdly, implement the mesh property in the MeshFileter component with code;
Lastly, add materails material to MeshRender;
2. Slice the fruit
Firstly, determine the position and the surface to cut, and add the Cut component to the target when the space bar is clicked
Secondly, classify the vertices of the model into the upper and lower parts according to the cut surface;
Then, find out the triangular separated by cutting
Then, calculate the new vertices
Lastly, create two models by the vertices, normal, UVs and indexes
3. How to generate the new slicing
> Create a sliced entity
> Create the attribute of Mesh in MeshFilter components of the sliced entity
The several key attributes of Mesh:
• Vertex coordinates (vertex) — the point created by cutting
• UV
• Vertex normal — consistent with or opposite to the normal of the tangent point
• Vertex Index — form triangles by connecting the cutting points according to the counterclockwise attributes
Ø Create the attribute of material in MeshRender components of the sliced entity
Ø Repeat the slicing
4. Slice the fruits with flying knives
Add CutController component to the scene
Setting in onstart:
• Initialize the mesh information of all presets;
• Create the first entity to be cut;
• Initialize the position of the blade;
Setting in onUpdate:
• Add Cut components to the cutting object;
• When the position of blade reaches the bottom, update the blade position and update the next cutting object;
Several main categories:
CutFly, CutFlyPool — — slicing cube and slicing management
CutFillFace,CutFillFacePool- the sliced surface and its management
CutFlySystem — — -Process the animation of the flying slicing (including a cut and the newly generated cut surface and the last slicing) and recycling operations
CutEntityAttributesFactory — — Saves preset mesh information
There is a variety of fruits and multiple type of knives in the game, and we’ll put the information of these fruits and knives in the configuration table.
1. Load the configuration table;
2. According to the information in the configuration table, load the information of fruit and knife;

This is a fun and simple tutorial for game developers since we are going to build a wheel of fortune game. Let’s get started!
Demonstration
Development Procedures
1. Create a Luck class for the main logic
Luck class is inherited from container egret.DisplayObjectContainer
2. Data initialization
3. Create a red button to spin (creatbtn)
Center the button: change the default anchor point of the button in the upper left corner to the center of the button this.btn.anchorOffsetX = this.btn.width / 2; this.btn.anchorOffsetY = this.btn.height / 2; Then make the button position in the center of the entire stage. However, the width and height of the stage cannot be obtained by directly using this.stage.stageWidth since there is nothing on the stage when the button is created. As such, students can create a date class to store global data. In this tutorial, two static attributes STAGEWIDTH and STAGEHEIGHT are directly added to main.ts. The specific methods are as follows:
4. Arrange all the prizes in a circle
You will get the prompt when using comments with /***/. When there are many parameters, you can use @param in the comment line to declare the function of each parameter.
5. Respond to click events
Remove the monitoring of the current click in the ‘click’ event to prevent multiple clicks on button.
In the timer, you can directly use timer.delay to change the delay of the timer in milliseconds.
