Duck2D - The HTML5 Canvas game framework.

Duck2D is a canvas-based minimal game framework that used CanvasRenderingContext2D API to render your game.

Duck2D is open-source, licensed under the MIT License.

About Duck2D

Duck2D will aim to be a minimal web game framework that is simple enough to not become a game engine nor a graphic rendering framework.

(This framework is still in the development stage so there will be more changes and updates in the future)

Key features

• Minimize dependencies, using fewer dependencies as possible.
• Easy to custom and use what you need to develop your game.

Future update

• Image loading support.
• Drawing image, shape.
• Typography.
• Timer.
• Mouse and keyboard support.
• Sprite and Sprite sheet and animation.
• Utility functions for game development (Collision, random...)
• Particle system.
• Sound.
• WebGL rendering.

Basic setup and using

import Duck2D from "duck2d";

const canvasWidth = 500;
const canvasHeight = 300;

const duck = new Duck2D({
  parentElement: document.body,
  canvasWidth,
  canvasHeight
});

let textPosX = 5;
let textPosY = 50;

// This will run once before update and draw
duck.initialize((ctx) => {
  ctx.fillStyle = "black"
  ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvasWidth, canvasHeight);
});

duck.update((dt) => {
  // dt = delta time
  const time = duck.time; // time is in second
  textPosX = (Math.abs(Math.sin(time) * 30) + 10);
});

duck.draw((ctx) => {
  ctx.fillStyle = "black"
  ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvasWidth, canvasHeight);

  ctx.font = "50px Arial";
  ctx.fillStyle = "blue";
  ctx.fillText("Hello Duck2D! ", textPosX, textPosY);
});
