Excalibur is a simple, free game engine written in TypeScript for making 2D games in HTML5 canvas. Our goal with Excalibur is to make it incredibly simple to create and write 2D HTML/JS games aimed at folks new to game development all the way up to more experienced game developers. We take care of all the boilerplate engine code, cross-platform targeting, and more so you don't have to. 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 Excalbur, please let us know so we can feature you in our online gallery.
We've made it easy to install Excalibur on a wide variety of package managers:
npm install Excalibur
bower install excalibur
PM> Install-Package Exalibur
