lycheeJS (v0.3)

lycheeJS is an HTML5 game library that offers a complete environment for prototyping and deployment of JavaScript based games.

There's also a not-yet-opensourced compiler available that is able to deliver Android native apps and will be improved to deliver iOS platforms as well.

This Android shim uses a combination of V8 and a native GL renderer that allows faster frame rates than running in the Web Browser(s).

Roadmap

As it is currently focussed on an Entity-based rendering architecture, it is planned to support a SceneGraph-based architecture.
