Meta is free and fast open source HTML5 game engine for making cross platform games, supports Canvas and WebGL rendering and Dopple for native compilation.

#####Engine is currently focusing on developing libraries and tool for developing tile based games. Different type of games are at lower priority.

• Offical Website
• Examples

1. Fast rendering - Optimized renderer will call minimal required state changes and transforms to render entity.
2. Memory friendly - Optimized in all fronts to minimize garbage collection.
3. Simple API - Simple yet powerfull API lets you write easy to understand code.
4. Fast development & support
   • Regular update schedule
   • Fast bug fixing
   • Request features you need that makes sense to be part of the engine
5. Model View Controller (MVC) - Engine architecture follows MVC principles but optimized for game and application development.
6. Entity - Powerfull way to make any object that is part of screen topology:
   • Pivots
   • Anchor points
   • Rotating
   • Scaling
   • Depth ordering
   • Interactions - clicking, pushing, dragging and hovering
   • Animations
   • State managers
   • Visibility
   • Spritesheets/Texture atlas
   • Children/parenting system
   • Clipping
   • LookAt
7. Culling - Supports optional object culling.
8. Input - Multiple ways to handle keyboard/mouse and touch events. Keybind system.
9. Audio - Supports automatic loading for supported audio formats and handles multiple simultaneous playing instances. Uses AudioAPI or fallback to legacy Audio element.
10. Text - Canvas and bitmap fonts
11. Tweening
12. SVG - Helper texture resoruce that helps to generate SVG textures for prototyping or other needs:
    • Supports: FillRect, Rect, Lines, Shape, RoundRect, Circle, Arc, Tiling, Gradient, Grid.
13. Camera - Comes with utilities to handle different resolutions, scaling, fitting, zooming.
14. Tilemaps - Additionally supporting Tiled editor .tmx and .json formats.
15. Arcade physics
    • Supports collisions for: AABB, Circle, Line and Point.
16. Particles
17. Channel event system
18. Timer
19. Fullscreen
20. Store import - Import plugins from store with just one code line.
21. UI elements - button, checkbox, progress bar.
22. Optional libraries:
    • AStar pathfinding - GitHub
    • Procedural generation - GitHub

Only requirement is to include library either from CDN or download and include locally:
