Whew! That was a lot of work, but the result is pretty fun. See how far you can get before it gets too hard. Let me tell you, it doesn't take me very long to crash and burn.
There's one last thing we ought to mention: on iOS 7, the status bar overlays the game canvas, which would be fine, except we want the experience to be immersive. To get rid of the status bar, we can add the Status Bar plugin to the project, as follows:
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.statusbar
Then, add the following in www/js/app/main.js at the top of APP.start:
if (_y.device.platform() == "ios") {
StatusBar.hide();
}
