Turbulenz Engine

Turbulenz Engine is a powerful, modular open-source game framework built in JavaScript and TypeScript that enables developers to create both 2D and 3D games that run directly in HTML5-compatible browsers as well as on desktops and mobile devices. The engine is designed to support rich multimedia applications without the need for plugins, using modern web technologies for graphics, physics, input, sound, networking, and asset management. It includes not only the low-level APIs for rendering and resource control but also high-level systems like scene graphs, animation, physics modules, and service APIs that handle game-specific features like leaderboards and multiplayer. Because it’s modular, developers can pick and choose the systems they need or build on top of the framework to create custom tooling and workflows tailored to their projects. Turbulenz also comes with extensive samples and example applications that demonstrate best practices in rendering, physics, user interaction, etc.
