Excalibur.js is a simple JavaScript game engine with TypeScript bindings for making 2D games in HTML5 Canvas. Our mission is to make web game development as simple as possible.
Excalibur is a free game engine written in TypeScript for making 2D games in HTML5 canvas. Our goal is to make it easier for you to create 2D HTML/JS games, whether you're new to game development or you're an experienced game developer. We take care of all of the boilerplate engine code, cross-platform targeting (using browserstack 😎), and more! Use as much or as little as you need!
Excalibur is an open source project licensed under the 2-clause BSD license (this means you can use it in commercial projects!). It's free and always will be. We welcome any feedback or contributions! If you make something with Excalibur, please let us know!
Our user documentation is at https://excaliburjs.com/docs (and you can contribute to the docs at https://github.com/excaliburjs/Excalibur/tree/main/site)
:exclamation: Note: Excalibur is still in version 0.x, which means this project and its associated plugins may be a little rough around the edges. We try to minimize API changes, but breaking changes will occur in new released versions. Excalibur is a labor of love and the product of many hours of spare time. Thanks for checking it out!
Visit the API Reference section for fully-annotated documentation of the API.
Compiled examples can be found in the Excalibur Samples collection.
Please read our Contributing Guidelines and our Code of Conduct. Whether you've spotted a bug, have a question, or think of a new feature, we thank you for your help!

The Excalibur.js team primarily uses Visual Studio Code as a platform agnostic editor to allow the widest contributions possible. However, you can always use your own preferred editor.
Excalibur is committed to supporting the latest 2 versions of popular desktop and mobile browsers. We leverage browserstack automated testing to ensure that Excalibur is automatically tested as thoroughly as possible on all our supported platforms.

npm run all
# Run engine core compilation only
# Useful for quick checks to ensure everything compiles
npm run build
# Run engine tests only (does not run compile task)
# Useful to run tests ad-hoc
npm test
npm run test
# Start Storybook-based sandbox
# Used for creating interactive visual tests and examples for docs
npm run sandbox
# Build a nuget package and specify a version
npm run nuget -- 1.1.1
