Jaws is a 2D game library made in HTML5 and JavaScript. It started out with canvas but is now also supporting DOM-based sprites through the same API. Among its features, you can find:

– Sprite() – Onscreen, movable, scalable objects.

– Game states – Separate sections of your game for better organized code.

– SpriteSheet() and Animation() – Load sprite sheets and animate frames.

– Assets – Jaws will preload all your images before the game starts.

– Documented code and explained examples.

– Does not depend on any other JavaScript library.

– Builds on lessons learned from years of developing Chingu, a Ruby game lib.
