Javascript Engine for a simple 2D game.

Name: js 2012-10-21 4:22

I need to write a simple JS game. Basically, rewrite the "Open Doors" flash game in HTML/JS/whatever.

! The game is fine as long as it runs in Chrome for example. One browser is enough. So I don't have to use old techniques. !

So far I found Impact and Crafty. Impact is dropped as it's not free. Crafty looks a bit messy (documentation).

Which engine you guys prefer?
Which one should I use for this?

(Main points of the game:
- Arrow keys movement
- You control a single entity/object
- There is an animation when you move (not much)
- There are doors that need to detect how you approach them


What I meant by "messy" (Crafty) is this:

Half of the tutorials or documentation is missing.

Look at Pulse, Crafty and whatnot. They all look "cool". But how do I know which one is the better?

Sure, Impact is non-free, but is it Abelson non-free?

You are in the wrong board. Go back to /g/ or maybe boards.420chan.org/prog/. You won't find what you are looking for here.
