Challenges

• While trying to complete my first game within a week time frame, I had trouble making a dog run across the canvas during the start screen. I managed to accomplish this by setting a loop using source x.

ctx.drawImage(dogImg, this.widthOfIndivSprite * srcX, this.sheetHeight * srcY, this.widthOfIndivSprite, this.sheetHeight, this.imgx, this.imgy,this.widthOfIndivSprite, this.sheetHeight)
            if (srcX < 9) srcX++;
            else srcX = 1;
            if (this.imgx < canvas.width + this.widthOfIndivSprite) this.imgx += imageSpeed;
            else this.imgx = 0 - this.widthOfIndivSprite
        }
