Animech, Arm, BMW, Disney, Facebook, Famobi, Funday Factory, IGT, King, Miniclip, Leapfrog, Mojiworks, Mozilla, Nickelodeon, Nordeus, NOWWA, PikPok, PlaySide Studios, Polaris, Product Madness, Samsung, Snap, Spry Fox, Zeptolab, Zynga

Features

Fully featured:

• 🧊 Graphics - Advanced 2D + 3D graphics engine built on WebGL 1 & 2.
• 🏃 Animation - Powerful state-based animations for characters and arbitrary scene properties
• ⚛️ Physics - Full integration with 3D rigid-body physics engine ammo.js
• 🎮 Input - Mouse, keyboard, touch, gamepad and VR controller APIs
• 🔊 Sound - 3D positional sounds built on the Web Audio API
• 📦 Assets - Asynchronous streaming system built on glTF 2.0, Draco and Basis compression
• 📜 Scripts - Write game behaviors in Typescript or JavaScript

Usage

Here's a super-simple Hello World example - a spinning cube!

import * as mc from 'the-mirror-gdp/mirror-core';

const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
document.body.appendChild(canvas);

const app = new mc.Application(canvas);

// fill the available space at full resolution
app.setCanvasFillMode(mc.FILLMODE_FILL_WINDOW);
app.setCanvasResolution(mc.RESOLUTION_AUTO);

// ensure canvas is resized when window changes size
window.addEventListener('resize', () => app.resizeCanvas());

// create box entity
const box = new mc.Entity('cube');
box.addComponent('model', {
  type: 'box',
});
app.root.addChild(box);

// create camera entity
const camera = new mc.Entity('camera');
camera.addComponent('camera', {
  clearColor: new mc.Color(0.1, 0.2, 0.3),
});
app.root.addChild(camera);
camera.setPosition(0, 0, 3);

// create directional light entity
const light = new mc.Entity('light');
light.addComponent('light');
app.root.addChild(light);
light.setEulerAngles(45, 0, 0);

// rotate the box according to the delta time since the last frame
app.on('update', (dt) => box.rotate(10 * dt, 20 * dt, 30 * dt));

app.start();
