2.0 BETA

This branch is in beta. Reporting issues is appreciated, please mention that it is for 2.0 in the issue body.

The StageGL class went under a heavy rewrite in 1.1 which has not been ported to ES2015 syntax. We have excluded it from this branch for the time being. It will be added back when the class is finalized.

Canvas-based image comparison unit tests are known to be failing, please don't report issues for this.

EaselJS is a library for building high-performance interactive 2D content in HTML5. It provides a feature-rich display list to allow you to manipulate and animate graphics. It also provides a robust interactive model for mouse and touch interactions.

It is excellent for building games, generative art, ads, data visualization, and other highly graphical experiences. It works well alone, or with the rest of the CreateJS suite: SoundJS, PreloadJS, and TweenJS.

It has no external dependencies, and should be compatible with virtually any framework you enjoy using.

NPM

npm install @createjs/easeljs --save

import { Sprite, SpriteSheet, Ticker } from "@createjs/easeljs";
let ss = new SpriteSheet({
  frames: {

    height: 64,
    numFrames: 19
  },
  animations: {run: [0, 25], jump: [26, 63, "run"]},
  images: ["./assets/runningGrant.png"]
});

let sprite = new Sprite(ss, "run");
sprite.scaleY = sprite.scaleX = 0.4;
stage.addChild(sprite);
