Open Source TypeScript Game Engines

3D playground built on three.js and cannon.js. Simple web-based game engine built on three.js and cannon.js focused on third-person character controls and related gameplay mechanics. Mostly a playground for exploring how conventional third-person gameplay mechanics found in modern games work and recreating them in a general way. Raycast character controller with capsule collisions. General state system. You can define your own scenes in Blender, and then read them with Sketchbook. Sketchbook needs to run on a local server such as HTTP-server or webpack-dev-server to be able to load external assets.

An open-source 2D HTML5 game engine. Excalibur was built from the ground up for TypeScript, a typed superset of JavaScript that feels familiar to C#, Java, and other strongly-typed languages. This makes Excalibur code clean, readable, and maintainable. Excalibur has a fully-documented API reference that is automatically kept up-to-date with every version, including the main code branch. Excalibur games compile to modern JavaScript and therefore work in the majority of browsers, including mobile. Since Excalibur games are "just JavaScript", you can use native app packaging wrappers like Apache Cordova, Universal Windows Apps, or Electron to create cross-platform games. Tons of features to help build your game quickly.

Planck.js is a JavaScript rewrite/port of the physics engine Box2D, designed to provide 2D rigid-body physics simulation usable directly in web contexts or any JavaScript environment. By offering collision detection, rigid-body dynamics, joints, and simulation capabilities, Planck.js makes it possible for developers to build physically realistic 2D games, simulations, or visualizations in browsers or Node.js without relying on native code. Its API mirrors Box2D’s concepts — bodies, fixtures, shapes, joints — which makes it familiar to users of classic Box2D, while being idiomatic for JavaScript developers. Because it's pure JavaScript, Planck.js integrates easily with HTML5 canvas, WebGL, or other browser-based rendering pipelines, facilitating smooth physics-driven games across platforms. It also is conducive to rapid prototyping and experimentation, since it avoids the complexity of compiling native libraries for web.

The Mirror is a tool for self-reflection and mood tracking, enabling users to record their thoughts and emotions in a secure, private environment.

The project implements a lightweight but powerful engine for creating turn-based games (board games, card games, turn-based strategy, etc.) in JavaScript. With boardgame.io, you define the game logic in pure functions: you describe how the game state changes when a move is made, and the framework handles all the rest (state management, synchronization, storage, multiplayer, etc.). This abstraction lets developers focus on the rules and mechanics rather than on networking, persistence or UI plumbing. It supports both local games and online multiplayer across clients, and can be used with different view layers — e.g., vanilla JS or a UI framework like React or React Native. It also offers tools to help with prototyping, debugging, logging, replaying game states, and even simple AI bots. Because of its simplicity and flexibility, boardgame.io is widely used for rapid prototyping of new game ideas or building full multiplayer board games.
