foster

A WebGL + TypeScript 2D Game framework with a Scene -> Entity -> Component model.

★ still very work in progress ★ and has frequent, breaking changes. Not worrying about backwards compatability with updates. Use at own risk.

Goals

• Lightweight framework to be easily used for GameJam games
• Foster should run in the Browser and in Electron without any changes on the game-side
• ES6 all the way. Not worrying about being backwards compatible.
• Frame-based animation, with atlas loading (Aseprite, Texture Packer, etc)
• AABB Collision system, with simple Physics component to handle motion

Todo

• BlendModes (additive, multiply, subtract, etc)
• Comment everything (and generate Docs somehow?)
• Add lots of helper / usability methods (ex. Audio fade in/out, built in screen transitions, more atlas loaders, etc)

How to use

• npm install foster-engine
• Import it in your own project, ex. import * as Foster from "foster-engine";
• Make sure your compiled project has the Foster code (either include the node_module, or use one of the pre-compiled JS builds)

Javascript Builds

• foster.js : compiled UMD JS file
• foster.module.js : compiled module JS file
