1,058 Pointskey property part of item
at 3:46, you mentioned about key being a property of item. Is key part of the phaser.js framework? when and where is key called/stored and how does it detect what you're referring to?

231,236 PointsSince the "key" is a property of a Phaser.Sprite object, it is stored in each item instance. It gets set from the third argument of the "create" method. This basic object type is part of the Phaser framework.
You must already have a reference to an object in a variable to be able to access the key. The contents of the key is just the name of the object type (star, coin, etc).
