Data Types: Booleans

Objective

Students must use boolean values to track state flags and control game flow.

Evidence

Boolean state flags in game components:

• Ghost.js - State management booleans
• DeathBarrier.js - Collision and activation flags
• Multiple classes - isJumping, isPaused, isVulnerable flags

Implementation Details

• Boolean primitives: true and false
• Boolean flags for state tracking
• Conditional expressions returning booleans
• Negation operator (!) to flip boolean values
• Boolean logic in game decisions

Key Concepts

• Boolean data type (true/false)
• Truthy and falsy values in JavaScript

• Boolean operators (&&,

  , !)

• Boolean methods (.toString(), valueOf())
• Conditional (ternary) operator for boolean expressions
