  • Community modules - A growing collection of user-generated code you can use.
  • Pure JavaScript - No magic. Works in all major browsers and can be combined with your favorite js library.

##Using Crafty

A simple game of pong:

Crafty.init(600, 300);
Crafty.background('rgb(127,127,127)');
//Paddles
Crafty.e("Paddle, 2D, DOM, Color, Multiway")
	.color('rgb(255,0,0)')
	.attr({ x: 20, y: 100, w: 10, h: 100 })
	.multiway(4, { W: -90, S: 90 });
Crafty.e("Paddle, 2D, DOM, Color, Multiway")
	.color('rgb(0,255,0)')
	.attr({ x: 580, y: 100, w: 10, h: 100 })
	.multiway(4, { UP_ARROW: -90, DOWN_ARROW: 90 });
//Ball
Crafty.e("2D, DOM, Color, Collision")
	.color('rgb(0,0,255)')
	.attr({ x: 300, y: 150, w: 10, h: 10,
			dX: Crafty.math.randomInt(2, 5),
			dY: Crafty.math.randomInt(2, 5) })
	.bind('EnterFrame', function () {
		//hit floor or roof
		if (this.y <= 0 || this.y >= 290)
			this.dY *= -1;

		if (this.x > 600) {
			this.x = 300;
			Crafty("LeftPoints").each(function () {
				this.text(++this.points + " Points") });
		}
		if (this.x < 10) {
			this.x = 300;
			Crafty("RightPoints").each(function () {
				this.text(++this.points + " Points") });
		}

		this.x += this.dX;
		this.y += this.dY;
	})
	.onHit('Paddle', function () {
	this.dX *= -1;
})

//Score boards
Crafty.e("LeftPoints, DOM, 2D, Text")
	.attr({ x: 20, y: 20, w: 100, h: 20, points: 0 })
	.text("0 Points");
Crafty.e("RightPoints, DOM, 2D, Text")
	.attr({ x: 515, y: 20, w: 100, h: 20, points: 0 })
	.text("0 Points");

Quick build instructions

The easiest way to build crafty uses gruntjs, which requires node and npm. If you have grunt, node, and npm already installed, then run npm install from Crafty's root directory. (This will pull down about 30MB of node packages.) From then on, just run grunt to build.
