- Mesh of particles with forces inspired by the Geometry Wars game using Euler integration.
- Galaxy Generator in JavaScript, with 8000 to 50000 particles, using PixiJS.
- Joy Division cover animated image reacting to sound in JavaScript using the Web Audio API.
- http://www.pixijs.com/ faster than Canvas graphics on JavaScript, using webgl.
- CAUTION: Really good for raster / texture sprites, but primitive drawing routines (shapes like circles and lines) are slow and buggy . Spoke to the creator and he backlogged the problem. Still looking for a good solution for fast 2D primitive drawing in WebGL. Will experiment with Three.js in the next month and report the results.
- Check also Phaser.js, a library for mobile and desktop videpgame development in JS. It is built on top of Pixi. It adds many functions like collision detection, gamepad input, tile mapping, sound… etc. Check the examples here.
