SWGPU

SWGPU is a simple 2D/3D game library written in TypeScript and powered by the latest web APIs. It offers an easy and complete way to create classic games in a non-opinionated but recommanded coding style. From the start, we chose to embrace the future with pure WebGPU 3D rendering pipeline as the name suggests. Below the stack we've choice for this work:

Examples

This framework come with 16 common game templates and 9 utils templates.
Each one is thinking to represent a common game style like platformer, fighting, fps or rpg.
Template are written in typescript/javascript and build to be clean and extensible.

List of templates that you can test here:

• 3D Pre-rendered
• 3D Isometric
• 2D Visual Novel
• 2D Tilemap
• 2D Tilemap (with pathfinding)
• 2D Checker (extendable)
• 2D Trading Carding Game
• 3D FPS
• 3D Turn-based RPG
• 2D Fight
• 2D Triple Triad
• 2D Tilemap Isometric
• 2D Background Isometric
• 2D Shoot'em up
• 3D Third Person Camera
• 2D Platformer

List of examples:

• 3D Curve
• 3D Particles
• 3D Performance Test
• 3D Rapier
• 3D Shadow Map
• UI Menu
• 3D Viewer
• 3D Menu Ring
• 3D Pack

Compatible tools

• Asesprite
• Tilekit
• SpriteFusion
• Blender

Blender plugin

Download the exporter here.
Install it on Blender by going to Edit -> Preferences -> Add-ons -> Install... -> Select the zip.
Push "n", and click on WarmeY2K Exporter to see the exportation panel.
Please, before export check if:

1. Your Blender scene is saved.
2. You've set the output path in the right panel -> output -> output path.

Click on the mesh and select Export JSM.
Congratulation, your static mesh is now exported !

Some parts taken for this work

• DOM for UI elements
• CanvasRenderingContext2D for 2D stuffs
• Rapier for both 2D and 3D physics engine
• No glTF support, we don't want to support the rendering techniques used by this format (BSDF, Skinning, etc...)

Todo (no-delay)

• Add frames on JNM
