Hey guys I recently made a game with the help of my friend using HTML5 canvas with pure javascript a cool idea and a way to learn all the new things buuuut following tutorials I set up the entire game without any onloads or something to load each image object or audio properly so is there a way or some kind of library that can help me with this ?? or do I have to code it for each loaded image?? if so what do you think is the best way to do the preloader ??
HTML5 canvas game pure javascript preloader ?
I would look into javscript Promises
If you use native javascript promises you will limit your browser support. You can use this library if you want wider browser support.

At this point you can write a preloader function

function preloadImage(url)
{
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
var result = new Image();
result.src = url;
result.onload = resolve;
});
}
function preloadAllImages(imageUrls) {
var loadPromises = [];
for (var i = 0; i < imageUrls.length; ++i) {
loadPromises.push(preloadImage(imageUrls[i]));
}
return Promise.all(loadPromises);
}
preloadAllImages(allImages).then(function() {
// game code that depends on preload goes here
});
