2D Game Engines for the Web

摘要

Imagine there's a developer who wants to write a game. This developer looks around to see what tools are available, and is disappointed by the options. So, this developer then decides to create a custom engine that will fulfill all the needs for the current game concept. It will also fulfill all future game development requirements anyone will ever possibly have. And, so, the developer never actually writes a game. It's a tragedy that happens frequently. Fortunately, this story has spawned dozens of game development engines for all possible platforms. These encompass a wide range of methodologies, tools and licensing models. For example, JavaScripting.com currently lists 14 dedicated open source game libraries. That doesn't even include physics engines, audio libraries and specialized input systems for games. With that kind of selection, there's bound to be a game engine that will work well for any game project you have in mind.
