All aboard!

LittleJS is lightweight 2D JavaScript game engine with a WebGL rendering system. The goal of this project is to be small, simple, and easy to use for a variety of applications from size coding game jams to commercial releases.

This engine has everything necessary for most games including super fast rendering, physics, particles, sound effects, music, keyboard/mouse/gamepad input handling, update/render loop, and debug tools.

Features

• Very small footprint with no dependencies
• Super fast tile sheet rendering system, ~50,000 sprites at 60fps
• Object oriented system with base class engine object
• 2D physics and collision handling for axis aligned boxes
• Engine helper functions and classes like Vector2, Color, and Timer
• Sound effects with zzfx and music with zzfxm, mp3s, or wavs
• Input processing system with keyboard, mouse, gamepad, and touch support
• Tile layer cached rendering and collision system for level data
• Particle effects system (particle editor/designer in progress)
• Several easy to understand example projects you can build on
• Debug tools and debug rendering system
• All example projects are compatible with mobile devices
• Build system automatically combines everything, minifies, and removes unused code
• For size coding competitions like js13kGames, starter project builds to a 6k zip
• Open Source with the MIT license so it can be used to make commercial games
