LÏKE Game Framework

Less Muck, More Game

Focus on what matters.

🚲

Simple Bindings

No need to fuss with clunky web APIs. Get things on screen in an instant.

🎯

Good Practices

By using low-state abstractions, LÏKE is easier to reason about than vanilla.

🏗️

Build how you want to

LÏKE is a framework, not an engine. It's good for any realtime 2D canvas app, not just games.

💛

Open source and compact

You're free to use LÏKE for proprietary games, but the framework and all derivates stay open source. The code is kept as simple and clean as possible.

♠️

Why the spade?

I'm digging in the dirt of Web APIs so you don't have to. LÏKE is your flower bed.

❤️‍🩹

We're in Beta

LÏKE's API will be _mostly_ stable. Thanks for being an early adopter.

Easy to start

Familiar binds for many, but modernized.

main.ts

import { createLike } from "@like2d/like";

const like = createLike(document.body);

like.load = () => {
  like.canvas.setMode([800, 600]);
  like.input.setAction("jump", ["Space", "BBottom"]);
};

like.update = (dt) => {
  if (like.input.justPressed("jump")) {
    console.log("Jump!");
  }
};

like.draw = () => {
  like.gfx.clear([0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 1]);
  like.gfx.circle("fill", "dodgerblue", [400, 300], 50);
  like.gfx.print("white", "Hello Like2D!", [20, 20]);
};

await like.start();
