Calefactor
A simple web game engine for people who want to get to the juicy stuff.
Making a game is frustrating. Especially when you start from scratch. You know what we mean. You'll be handling maps, images, audio, the game loop, objects, graphics, and all storts of stuff.
The thing is, most of that stuff works the same for every game. So what if you had a simple solution that handled all of that for you, and maybe more?
Well now you do!
