A JavaScript game engine. Uses jQuery like syntax for code organisation and conforming to the Entity-Component-System paradigm. Read this article for more information.
##Using Crafty
Game objects are divided into Entities and Component. Rather than the typical hierarchy, objects are composed of
functional components that augment the capabilities (sort of like adding classes to DOM elements).
var player = Crafty.e();
player.addComponent("2D, Gravity");
The above code will create a new entity then add two components labelled 2D
and Gravity
. These components
will give the entity attributes and functions to extend its functionality. For example after adding the components
to the player
entity, we can use a function provided by the 2D
component.
player.attr({w: 50, h: 150}).area(); //will return 7500
In the code example we are setting the width
and height
properties inherited from the 2D
component. We can
then call the area
method also inherited from the 2D
component.
