Sweep Stacks

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!

Get Started

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)

  • Follow our Installation guide to learn how to install Excalibur.
  • Follow our Getting Started guide if you're looking to get started.
  • Learn what Features are available for you to leverage in your games.
  • View the 1.0 Release roadmap to see what's coming next.

: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!

Writing Documentation

We love when people help improve our documentation. You can contribute to the docs in this repo under /site

Environment Setup

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.

Testing

Browserstack

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.

Prerequisites

After cloning the repository, run:

npm install

You can then run the npm tasks for various purposes:

# Run compilation, linting, and all unit & visual tests
# Recommend to do this before finalizing pull requests
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
