illegal use of break statement javascript

Question

When this variable becomes a certain amount i want the loop to stop  but i keep getting the error   Uncaught SyntaxError  Illegal break statement    function loop         if  isPlaying            jet1 draw            drawAllEnemies            requestAnimFrame loop           if  game  1                 break

You need to make sure requestAnimFrame stops being called once game == 1. A break statement only exits a traditional loop (e.g. while()).

function loop() {
    if (isPlaying) {
        jet1.draw();
        drawAllEnemies();
        if (game != 1) {
            requestAnimFrame(loop);
        }
    }
}

Or alternatively you could simply skip the second if condition and change the first condition to if (isPlaying && game !== 1). You would have to make a variable called game and give it a value of 0. Add 1 to it every game.

break is to break out of a loop like for  while  switch etc which you don t have here  you need to use return to break the execution flow of the current function and return to the caller   function loop         if  isPlaying            jet1 draw            drawAllEnemies            requestAnimFrame loop           if  game    1               return                     Note  This does not cover the logic behind the if condition or when to return from the method  for that we need to have more context regarding the drawAllEnemies and requestAnimFrame method as well as how game value is updated
