@studiokeywi/banjo

The fast and plucky game framework from studioKeywi 🪕 Zero dependencies 🪕 Tree shakeable exports 🪕 Built with ❤️, Bun, and TypeScript.

@studiokeywi/banjo is a TypeScript game framework meant to be run in the browser or a similar web view (such as through Electron or Tauri) through the build process of your choice. Although dependency free, Banjo expects to have access to browser-provided functionality such as the cancelAnimationFrame/requestAnimationFrame functions, the HTMLImageElement/Image objects, and the <canvas> element. If you can provide these where your code will run, then Banjo should run there as well!

• 🚫 Dependency Free
  studioKeywi wants you to have confidence that the code we provide doesn't rely on outside vectors. We may not be the best choice, but we believe we are a transparent choice when it comes to understanding our functionality.
• 🌳 Tree Shakeable Exports
  Banjo exposes all of its functionality through its exports map, separated out by concern. That way, you can be sure that your games only contain the minimum code required for your final product.
• ⚡ Powered by Bun and TypeScript
  Bun provides our development cycle with speed and built-in functionality that reduces our development load.
  TypeScript provides our users with a better development experience and flexibility in their build patterns.
