@silkweaver/engine

The runtime engine behind Silkweaver — a 2D game engine inspired by GameMaker Studio 1.4, written in TypeScript and rendering with WebGL 2.

You can use it entirely on its own: no editor, no project format, no build step you don't control. Install it, import the functions you need, and drive your own loop.

npm install @silkweaver/engine

import { renderer, game_loop, EVENT_TYPE, draw_set_color, draw_rectangle, c_white } from '@silkweaver/engine'

renderer.init(document.querySelector('canvas'), 640, 480)

game_loop.register(EVENT_TYPE.draw, () => {
    draw_set_color(c_white)
    draw_rectangle(32, 32, 96, 96, false)
})

game_loop.start()

If you've used GameMaker, the API will feel familiar — the same names (draw_sprite, instance_create, keyboard_check, audio_play_sound), adjusted to sensible JS conventions (0-based indexing, native arrays, Promises). You get drawing, sprites, audio (including 3D/spatial), matter.js physics, input (keyboard/mouse/gamepad/touch), paths, timelines, particles, the ds_* data structures, networking, and the maths/string/random helpers.

Want sprites/objects/rooms and a visual editor instead of wiring the loop yourself? That's the rest of Silkweaver — the IDE and the silkweaver CLI.
