Think all of these things through before you start playing and get them straight in your head. The best basic roulette system is to have a plan and to stick to the plan. It is always better to play roulette with your head rather than your gut. For example, are you a risk taker with deep pockets.

The “game loop” is a name given to a technique used to render animations and games with changing state over time. At its heart is a function that runs as many times as possible, taking user input, updating the state for the elapsed time, and then drawing the frame.
In this short article you’ll learn how this fundamental technique works and you’ll be able to start making your own browser based games and animations.
Here’s what game loop in JavaScript looks like:
The requestAnimationFrame method requests that the browser call a specified function as soon as it can before the next repaint occurs. It’s an API specifically for rendering animations but you can also use setTimeout with a short timeout for a similar result. requestAnimationFrame is passed a timestamp of when the callback started firing, it contains the number of milliseconds since the window loaded and is equal to performance.now().
The progress value, or time between renders is crucial for creating smooth animations. By using it to adjust the x and y positions in our update function, we ensure our animations move at a consistent speed.
Updating the Position
Our first animation will be super simple. A red square that moves to the right until it reaches the edge of the canvas and loops back around to the start.
We’ll need to store the square’s position and increment the x position in our update function. When we hit a boundary we can subtract the canvas width to loop back around.
Drawing the New Frame
This example uses the <canvas> element for rendering the graphics but the game loop can be used with other outputs like HTML or SVG documents too.
The draw function simply renders the current state of the world. On each frame we’ll clear the canvas and then draw a 10px red square with its center at the position stored in our state object.
And we have movement!
See the Pen Game Loop in JavaScript: Basic Movement by SitePoint (@SitePoint) on CodePen.
Note: In the demo you might notice that the size of the canvas has been set in both the CSS and via width and height attributes on the HTML element. The CSS styles set the actual size of the canvas element that will be drawn to the page, the HTML attributes set the size of the coordinate system or ‘grid’ that the canvas API will use. See this Stack Overflow question for more information.
Responding to User Input
Next we’ll get keyboard input to control the position of our object, state.pressedKeys will keep track of which keys are pressed.
Let’s listen to all keydown and keyup events and update state.pressedKeys accordingly. The keys I’ll be using are D for right, A for left, W for up and S for down. You can find a list of key codes here.
Then we just need to update the x and y values based on the pressed keys and ensure that we keep our object within the boundaries.
And we have user input!

Asteroids
Now that we have the fundamentals under our belt we can do something more interesting.
It’s not that much more complex to make a ship like was seen in the classic game Asteroids.
Our state needs to store an additional vector(an x,y pair) for movement as well as a rotation for the ships direction.
Our update function needs to update three things:
- rotation based on the left/right pressed keys
- movement based on the up/down keys and rotation
- position based on the movement vector and the boundaries of the canvas
The draw function translates and rotates the canvas origin before drawing the arrow shape.
That’s all the code that we need to re-create a ship like in Asteroids. The keys for this demo are the same as in the previous one (D for right, A for left, W for up and S for down).

I’ll leave it to you to add the asteroids, bullets and collision detection 😉

They both same thing!
Does this make sense to anyone in here?
I think probably something like it did, or I seem to vaguely recall that I thought so, from about 1973-79 or thereabouts. But then, I couldn't remember what it was, just that I briefly thought it was an important revelation. Or something, maybe some kind of fear and loathing thing, instead. Whatever the Hell it was. If it was. I'd need to return to about the summer of '74 to feel sure of any such thing again. Too far to go for a temporary vision of an apparition of a ghost of a brainstorm. But methinks a fine trip to take with his money.Administrator

Well now that's a little unsettling. I wouldn't have guessed that'd be possible.Does this make sense to anyone in here?
How could it, when it doesn't make

How is that possible Mr Bob ? Is roulette table with 36 numbers no zero at all on the table.
Numbers from-36 that`s it .. no house edge. 50/50 chances
Or can call it Even chances Bob
But is RNG not live .. and they charge 10% of your withdraws
