Gamvas

Gamvas is a 2D HTML5 game engine for the canvas element. Gamvas tries to reduce low level tasks for the developer by providing a general game programming framework with game states, actors, actor states, cameras and Box2D physics integration. It is developed by the author of the MIT licensed C/C++ game engine and shares many ideas with it.

Licensing[]

As of June 7, 2012 Gamvas is available under open source MIT license without feature limitation. Before this it was available in a lite version free for non commercial use and a pro version with enhanced features and the right to use it in commercial projects.

Example[]

The following example is a very basic hello world running with a constant frame rate:

myState = gamvas.State.extend({
    draw: function(t) {
        this.c.fillStyle = "#fff";
        this.c.fillText("Hello World!", 0, 0);
    }
});
gamvas.event.addOnLoad(function() {
    gamvas.state.addState(new myState('hello'));
    gamvas.start('canvasid');
});
