Best JavaScript lib? by sfernald

Best JavaScript lib?

[raw] LD20LD #20 - It's Dangerous to go Alone! Take This! 14. Apr 2011 · 14:42 UTC · 14 days before compo start by sfernald · 0

I’m considering using JavaScript for this LD. Searching for good game libs on google is frustrating. What is the best / easiest lib available these days? I’m looking for something like flashpunk.

Thanks!

I’ve never used flashpunk, but I found native canvas 2D coding to be extremely simple. Here’s a little experiment of mine from some moths back that shouldn’t be too difficult to decypher.

Thanks for the feedback. I’m kinda torn between starting from scratch with something like what pov has or trying to find the most completely and best suited lib I can.

I’ll plug PixieEngine, a web base IDE that I recently launched. It’s still in beta so some parts are rough, but the main advantage is that it’s web based so there is no install required. Check it out and let me know what you think, I’ll personally be using it for the upcoming compo. If you have any questions just ask.
