Why doesn't MatterJS make more use of the prototype pattern?

Plop,

We use the MatterJS objects as follow:

var myEngine = Matter.Engine.create(...);
Matter.Engine.run(myEngine);

I personally love the prototype pattern, which would allow to write myEngine.run() instead of going through Matter.Engine again. Why doesn’t MatterJS use it? I’m just curious about it.

15 days later, and after reading a good dozen of articles, I still don’t understand why MatterJS is using this kind of code rather than using the Prototype chain. In my own limited vision of it, it’s just inducing more code to write and not using one of JS most powerful feature. The articles that @marlonicus provided rather speak for the prototype pattern, not for the namespace use.

If this is not the right place to discuss it, please accept my apologies and close as resolved.

Well THANK YOU, I wanted to be productive today. GUESS NOT.

Thanks for the links. To me, it kinda seems like a pointless excess of code, so I’m definitely missing something. Coming back here tonight when I have read all that.
