new Point(x, y)
A Point object represents a location in a two-dimensional coordinate system, where x represents the horizontal axis and y represents the vertical axis.
The following code creates a point at (0,0):
var myPoint = new Phaser.Point();
You can also use them as 2D Vectors and you'll find different vector related methods in this class.
