Crafty.pause()

Events

Pause: when the game is paused

Unpause: when the game is unpaused

public this Crafty.pause(void)

Pauses the game by stopping the UpdateFrame event from firing. If the game is already paused it is unpaused. You can pass a boolean parameter if you want to pause or unpause no matter what the current state is. Modern browsers pauses the game when the page is not visible to the user. If you want the Pause event to be triggered when that happens you can enable autoPause in Crafty.settings.

Example

Have an entity pause the game when it is clicked.

button.bind("click", function() {
    Crafty.pause();
});
