Tiny code, big results! Check out the demo to see below code in action.

Also, here is the documentation.

Demo Code

src/demo/index.ts

async function start(): Promise<void> {
  const queryParams = Scene.getQueryParams();
  // create main Scene
  const scene: Scene = new Scene({
    visible: true,
    autoSort: true,
    showFPS: 'fps' in queryParams,
    debug: 'debug' in queryParams
  });

  // initialize scene async - new since pixi 7/8
  await scene.init({
    resizeTo: window,
    autoDensity: true,
    autoStart: false,
    sharedTicker: false
  });

  // wait to load cave-boy.json and cave-boy.png, uses PIXI.Loader inside
  const data = await Resources.loadResource('./cave-boy.json');
  const texture = await Resources.loadResource(data.tileset);

  // create 50 sprites from template
  Array.from({ length: Number(queryParams.limit || 50) }, () => {
    createSprite({ scene, data, texture });
  });

  scene.start();
  scene.update$.pipe(takeUntil(scene.destroy$)).subscribe(() => {
    scene.physics.separate();
  });
}

Features

• Unity-inspired architecture
• State management
• Reactive events
• Lifecycle cleanup management
• Collision detection
• Drawing on WebGL canvas

Classes this library exports

• Resources: Handles loading game assets like images and JSON files.
• Scene: Sets the stage for gameplay, where all the action takes place.
• GameObject: Represents characters, objects, or items in the game world.
• Prefab: Instantiates ready-made templates for creating game elements.
• Sprite: Displays static 2D graphics in the game.
• Container: Organizes and manages groups of game objects for easier handling.
• Animator: Useful JSON to Container with AnimatedSprite children.
• StateMachine: Controls how game objects transition between actions.
• CircleBody: Adds physics properties and interactions for round-shaped objects.
• PolygonBody: Adds physics properties and interactions for polygonal objects.
• TextureAtlas: Allows easy slicing of texture into smaller cached slices.
