Tiled is a visual editor for creating two-dimensional game environments, functioning as a tile map editor and game level design tool. It allows for the construction of game worlds by arranging reusable tile sets and assets into maps. The system includes a tile set manager to organize and modify collections of tiles that can be shared across multiple project maps. It supports the creation of complex environments through layered map composition and the placement of objects at precise coordinates. The editor provides capabilities for grid alignment, coordinate-based layouts, and the attachment

cocos2d-iphone is a framework for 2D game development and the creation of two-dimensional graphical applications. It enables cross-platform development for iOS and macOS using Objective-C and high-performance graphics rendering. The project provides tools for building interactive environments, including the creation of orthogonal, isometric, or hexagonal tile-based maps. It supports the implementation of rigid body dynamics and collision detection through a 2D physics simulation system. The framework covers a broad range of capabilities, including sprite-based rendering, audio playback manag

Cocos2d-x is a high-performance C++ game development framework designed for building and deploying interactive applications across mobile, desktop, and web platforms. It functions as a cross-platform game engine that utilizes an entity-component system to manage object lifecycles, behaviors, and spatial relationships within a unified codebase. The engine is distinguished by its specialized 2D graphics rendering pipeline, which is optimized for hardware-accelerated performance when displaying sprites, particle effects, and skeletal animations. It provides developers with low-level access to gr

FXGL is a 2D game engine and development framework designed for Java and Kotlin. It provides a structured environment for building cross-platform desktop games, integrating a central game loop with an entity component system and a JavaFX-based scene graph for rendering. The toolkit distinguishes itself by providing a comprehensive suite of integrated libraries for game AI pathfinding, physics collision resolution, and multiplayer networking via TCP and UDP protocols. It includes specialized systems for adaptive user interface design using global stylesheets and a data-driven asset management

EaselJS is a JavaScript library for creating interactive 2D graphics and animations using the HTML5 Canvas element. It functions as a 2D animation framework, a canvas scene graph manager, and an interaction wrapper for detecting and responding to mouse and touch events. The library features a rendering pipeline that utilizes WebGL to increase the drawing performance of bitmap and cached content. It organizes visual elements into a hierarchical display list, allowing nested groups of 2D graphics objects to be transformed and animated as single units. Its capabilities cover the rendering of ve

DiligentEngine is a cross-platform graphics abstraction layer and physically-based rendering engine. It provides a unified interface for executing 3D graphics commands across multiple low-level rendering backends from a single codebase, including a dedicated system for importing 3D assets via the GLTF 2.0 format. The engine features an HLSL shader cross-compiler that allows a single set of shaders to run across different graphics APIs and operating systems. It supports advanced rendering capabilities such as ray-tracing, mesh shaders, variable rate shading, and bindless resources. The framew

A free ActionScript 3 library designed for developing 2D Flash games. It provides you with a fast, clean framework to prototype and develop your games in. This means that most of the dirty work (timestep, animation, input, and collision to name a few) is already coded for you and ready to go, giving you more time and energy to concentrate on the design and testing of your game.
