Before you can begin building out the functionality for the game, you will need to set up the ability to add 2D graphics.

The <dfn>Canvas API</dfn> can be used to create graphics in games using JavaScript and the HTML canvas element.

You will need to use the getContext method which will provide the context for where the graphics will be rendered.

canvas.getContext("2d");

Assign that getContext method to a const variable called ctx.

--hints--

You should use the canvas.getContext("2d") method.

assert.match(code, /canvas\.getContext\(\s*('|"|`)2d\1\s*\)/);

You should use const to declare the variable called ctx and assign it canvas.getContext("2d").

assert.match(code, /const\s+ctx\s*=\s*canvas\.getContext\(\s*('|"|`)2d\1\s*\)/);
