I’m going to use Pixi.js for the upcoming competition so I decided to make a simple application skeleton which I’m going to use for my contest entry. There’s nothing special in it, just a set of open-source libraries and a few additional classes from my previous projects. The code is licensed under MIT license so you’re free to use it for your game entry or future projects.

Included libraries:

• Pixi.js
• Spine.js
• SoundManager2
• Underscore
• TweenJS
• PreloadJS
• Compass

Services

• Facebook sharing
• Twitter sharing
• Google Analytics

Goodies:

• Simple preloader
• Simple sound manager
• Animator class for pixi.js
• Base controller for Spine
• Sample sprite atlas
• CSS & JavaScript compression with YUI

I also made it possible to easily deploy it to Heroku. Here’s how it looks like: http://desolate-anchorage-4389.herokuapp.com/

You can download the source code at my GitHub page. I wrote a short instruction on how to setup it, but if you’ll decide to use it – please let me know so I can help. It’s a Ruby on Rails application so it may require some skills to setup, but nothing very special. If you’ll have any questions – feel free to ask.
