Making Awesome Games with LittleJS
summary
LittleJS is a tiny MIT-licensed JavaScript engine that claims superfast rendering of 100k sprites via WebGL batching, a canvas-backed tile renderer for huge levels, built-in AABB physics and a level vs object raycast system, positional generative audio plus a tiny music player for size jams, starter projects (platformer, breakout, puzzle), an achievements system and Newgrounds support, and demos showing local co-op up to four players and mobile performance sometimes better than desktop.
