Just separate two things: map and view.
Map is your level, you keep there objects with coordinates. View is part of map you see on screen. View has 4 properties: x, y, widht and height, where widht and height most likely is your canvas size.
If your game start with view on map point (0,0) in the middle of screen, then your view (x,y) coordinates should be (-view.width/2, -view.height/2).
How to draw your character and objects in a view?
In first place, draw only thing that are in the view rectangle. So loop over all objects and check if
object.x >= view.x && object.x <= view.x + view.width && object.y >= view.y && object.y <= view.y + view.height
(you probably should take into account objects boundaries too).
If object is in view area then draw it at position (object.x - view.x, object.y - view.y)
.
And that's all about drawing things.
Moving character and view area with him.
Now when your character collides with boundary, in example (colliding with right border)
character.x >= view.x + view.width
then move view to the right by incrementing view.x with some value (that might be character.width/2).
-- UPDATE --
I see that you are not using OOP in your game (actually you are because everything in JS is an object, but you are not using it on purpose).
OOP in JS is a lot of explaining, so I'll try to make it short.
You can make objects like your Character, Map and View using JSON format.
character = {
x: 0,
y: 0,
xspeed: 0,
yspeed: 0,
speed: 0,
radius: 20,
}
map = {
objects: [
{sprite: 'tree.jpg', x: 100, y: 50},
{sprite: 'stone.jpg', x: 20, y: 30},
],
}
view = {
width: canvas.width,
height: canvas.height,
x: -this.width/2,
y: -this.height/2,
}
These are objects that you can use like in your functions like that:
for (var i=0; i++, i<map.objects.length) {
if (map_obj.x >= view.x && map_obj.x <= view.x + view.width && map_obj.y >= view.y && map_obj.y <= view.y + view.height) {
var map_obj = map.objects[i];
draw_sprite(map_obj.sprite, map_obj.x - view.x, map_obj.y - view.y);
}
}
It's not the best way, but it's still much better than yours right now. When you understand what OOP is about you will make it better for your own.
