xcjs

If you care for game centric libraries that use canvas, then only the following are valid choices. In my personal favorites order with random remarks: * https://github.com/kesiev/akihabara - arcade game centric * https://github.com/oberhamsi/gamejs - (my lib) port of PyGame; commonjs * https://github.com/biilly/doodle-js - scene graph * https://github.com/batiste/sprite.js - simplistic but fast sprite handling * https://github.com/fairfieldt/xcjs - coffeescript * http://easeljs.com/ -

I'm the author of xc.js (https://github.com/fairfieldt/xcjs). If you're looking for an equivalent product, xc.js has a big advantage over the others listed: it runs natively on iOS (and Android soon). It's a fairly young library, and admittedly has some shortcomings but it would also love some contributions :).

Wow! that's awesome. I just checked the demo links in the readme. Sprite.js has collision too (haven't checked how it does collision). I tried to find out if three.js supports collision and I came across this issue https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/issues/issue/49 which says that three.js will focus on rendering part alone. And mrdoob suggests JiglibJS (http://www.jiglibjs.org/) on the same thread. The other stuff available right now are: * gameQuery, a jquery plugin http://gamequery.onaluf.org/ * Akihabara, an NES style engine http://www.kesiev.com/akihabara/ * xc.js, new one under dev https://github.com/fairfieldt/xcjs I however have to mention that ImpactJS looks more complete and solid than the rest. I have a lot of kids coming home asking for small games, so made a few play Biolab (i liked it too) and was waiting eagerly for ImpactJ
