Pixi Renderer

JavaScript 2D Renderer

The aim of this project is to provide a fast lightweight 2D library that works across all devices. The Pixi renderer allows everyone to enjoy the power of hardware acceleration without prior knowledge of webGL. Also its fast.

If you’re interested in pixi.js then feel free to follow me on twitter (@doormat23) and I will keep you posted! And of course check back on our site as any breakthroughs will be posted up there too!

Demos

• Run pixi run

• Bunny Demo

• Interaction Demo

• photonstorm Balls Demo

• photonstorm Morph Demo

Thanks to @photonstorm for providing those last 2 examples and allowing us to share the source code :)

How to build

cd build
ant -f PixiBuild.xml

This will create a minified version at bin/pixi.js and a non-minified version at bin/pixi.dev.js

Current features

• WebGL renderer (with automatic smart batching allowing for REALLY fast performance)
• Canvas renderer
• Full scene graph
• Super easy to use API (similar to the flash display list API)
• Support for texture atlases
• Asset loader / sprite sheet loader
• Auto-detect which renderer should be used
• Mouse and Multi-touch Interaction

Coming soon

• Filters
• Render Texture
• Text

Coming later

• Awesome Post processing effects

Usage

	
	// You can use either PIXI.WebGLRenderer or PIXI.CanvasRenderer
	var renderer = new PIXI.WebGLRenderer(800, 600); 

	document.body.appendChild(renderer.view);
	
	var stage = new PIXI.Stage;

	var bunnyTexture = PIXI.Texture.fromImage("bunny.png");
	var bunny = new PIXI.Sprite(bunnyTexture);
	
	bunny.position.x = 400;
	bunny.position.y = 300;
	
	bunny.scale.x = 2;
	bunny.scale.y = 2;
	
	stage.addChild(bunny);
	
	requestAnimationFrame(animate);
	
	function animate() {
		bunny.rotation += 0.01;
		
		renderer.render(stage);
		
		requestAnimationFrame(animate);
	}
