- PhaserMIT HTML5 2D game framework with scenes, physics, and tilemaps
Phaser 4 replaced the v3 renderer/FX/mask stack — v3 games need the migration guide. Phaser Editor is a separate commercial desktop product, not the OSS engine. The homepage can Cloudflare-gate a raw fetch; docs and GitHub are the source of truth.
- Matter.jsMIT 2D rigid-body physics, not a Phaser replacement
Loud: Phaser already ships Matter physics. If you are on Phaser, you already have this. This gem is for Pixi/KAPLAY/canvas, not a second physics stack inside Phaser. Distinct from Phaser (full engine) and howler.js (audio sprites).
- RapierApache-2.0 Rust/WASM physics: 2D+3D, joints, SIMD
Rust/WASM 2D+3D with joints/SIMD/optional determinism — Matter.js is MIT 2D only. Planck HOLD (same 2D JS slot as Matter). Distinct from Matter.js.
