What does it do?

Under the hood, TNSPhaser is maintaining global instances of a few libraries.

• Custom Phaser Pixi.js
• Custom Phaser p2.js
• Phaser-ce (Community Edition)

window.PIXI = require("phaser-ce/build/custom/pixi");
window.p2 = require("phaser-ce/build/custom/p2");
window.Phaser = require("phaser-ce/build/phaser");

Other libs can be included but are not required. For instance you can import the custom Creature lib the same way. We also override the PIXI.WebGLRenderer.updateTexture to make it compatible with NativeScript.

Finally when a new instance of TNSPhaser.Game is created, we set the document.readyState to 'complete'

global.document.readyState = "complete";
