sprite.js JavaScript Framework Efficient for Animations, Games

Dec 13, 2010

The sprite.js JavaScript framework enables developers to create impressive animations and games using sprites. The framework was created with the goal of having a common JavaScript framework for both desktop and mobile web browsers.


The sprite.js framework has been tested with the Chrome, Firefox and Opera web browsers, as well as an Android emulator. It provides two rendering backends, including the default HTML version which displays sprites using Document Object Model (DOM) elements, as well as a Canvas backend which has proven to be slower on Firefox, Opera and Chrome.


Demos are available which display some of the functionality of sprite.js, including a particle generator, 32 animated sprites, and an input test.
