Pictures in Motion

NEW: I started working on picimo's successor, version 2. It’s almost a full rewrite. See the new project page https://github.com/spearwolf/picimo-next

THIS REPOSITORY IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED.

---

picimo is a sprite engine for javascript running in a modern browser. it is built from scratch and exclusively utilizes webgl as rendering technology.

it is written in pure ES5 javascript (no transpilers are used) ES2016 using the babel transpiler.

it is, however, under active development and building a fantastic sprite engine together with an incredible easy-and-fun-to-use api is difficult to get correct. if you are comfortable with bleeding-edge software please try picimo and share your feedback.

have fun! ;-)
