SPRINTING MECHANIC FOR JAVASCRIPT CODE (STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION)

// HTML
// You'll need a button or key event to trigger the sprinting mechanic.

// JavaScript
const player = {
  speed: 5, // Normal movement speed
  sprintMultiplier: 2, // Multiplier applied to speed during sprint
  isSprinting: false, // Flag to track sprinting state
};

// Function to handle sprinting mechanic
function handleSprinting() {
  // Check if the player is sprinting
  if (player.isSprinting) {
    player.speed =  player.speed * player.sprintMultiplier;
    console.log("Player is sprinting");
  } else {
    player.speed = 5; // Reset speed to normal when not sprinting
    console.log("Player is not sprinting");
  }
}

// Event listener to toggle sprinting
document.addEventListener("keydown", function(event) {
  if (event.key === "Shift") {
    player.isSprinting = true;
    handleSprinting();
  }
});

document.addEventListener("keyup", function(event) {
  if (event.key === "Shift") {
    player.isSprinting = false;
    handleSprinting();
  }
