ox

Ox is a tiny, opinionated-yet-open 2D game framework for the web. It offers a rigid structure that facilitates development. Its goals are to be easy to learn, modular and lightweight.

It weights at ~3.8kbytes gzipped and minified, meaning it can be easily used for competitions like 13kJS and for mobile games.

Features

• Powerful and simple Entity system
• Fixed time step game loop
• Transparent canvas context
• Animated sprites
• Scene manager
• Assets preloading
• Automated asset management, live server reload
• Tiny at 3.8kbytes

Anatomy of an Ox project

Upon cloning this repo (or downloading it), you should have a basic skeleton for a game.

• data
• images
• src
  • engine
  • entities
  • scenes

Getting started:

Download the framework with the basic template, then cd to the folder you extracted and run npm install. Then just run npm start. Now just start developing! :D

You can read more information on the documentation.
