so I'm trying to recreate 2048 in javascript right now and having some trouble. Basically, my idea was to create the grid as an array of 16 objects that take coordinates and a boolean variable of whether it is filled with a tile or not.
var blocks = [];
var block = function block(xcord, ycord, filled) {
this.xcord = xcord;
this.ycord = ycord;
this.filled = filled;
};
function createGrid(){
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++){
for (j = 0; j < 4; j++){
blocks.push(block(i+1, j+1, false));
}
}
}
However when I try to print the assigned values of the blocks, it says they are undefined
console.log(blocks[0].String(xcord));
Gives me
"TypeError: Cannot read property 'String' of undefined

You need to use the new
keyword with the code you have, and also change the way you access the blocks array check it out:
var blocks = [];
var block = function block(xcord, ycord, filled) {
this.xcord = xcord;
this.ycord = ycord;
this.filled = filled;
};
function createGrid(){
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++){
for (j = 0; j < 4; j++){
blocks.push(new block(i+1, j+1, false));
}
}
}
createGrid();
console.log(blocks);
console.log(blocks[0].xcord);
