HTML5 Game Development by Example(Second Edition)

Time for action – adding functionalities to record the music level data

       isRecordMode : true,
       //existing code here

2. Next, we add the following highlighted code in the keydown event handler. This code stores all our pressed keys in an array and prints them out to the console when the semicolon key is pressed:

   if (game.isRecordMode) { // print the stored music notes data when press ";" (186) if (e.which === 186) { var musicNotesString = ""; for(var i=0, len=game.musicNotes.length; i<len; i++) { musicNotesString += game.musicNotes[i].time + "," + game.musicNotes[i].line+";"; ...
