I think ct.js is a hidden gem of open source game tooling. Pixi is among the most mature and popular game engines available for 2D game development, but it doesn’t have an official editor. ct.js simply layers a whole suite of graphical interfaces on top of Pixi to make it accessible to a wider audience.
The author is a classic “would rather spend time coding than doing PR” open source dev. I hope HN can show some appreciation for their work.
- ido 6y agoI wouldn't call Pixi a game engine, it's more like a rendering library isn't it?
- erlend_sh 6y agoThat’s an equally valid description of it. They have started describing it as a “creation engine” in their own copy.
- ghthor 6y agoYeah, pixi is just a rendering engine. A way to specify sprites and declare there positions on the canvas and have the rendering engine lay them out and update the canvas.
- searchableguy 6y agoAwesome work. I will try it this week!
- andrewmcwatters 6y agoIt's not that much of a hidden gem, it's one of the top 2D game engines on GitHub. https://github.com/topics/2d-game-engine https://github.com/topics/2d-game-engine
