Fastest javascript framework

[dewhee]

Hi everyone!

I have to build a 2D game with tons of animated objects inside it and a continuous background music. The problem is that I will need to use it inside a mobile application (I will use CrossWalk Project) so the performance are reaaaally important for me! 

My first choice was the famous.org project, but it seems they shut down the development. I already built a prototype in svg using snapsvg, but It's a bit laggy. I've seen that pixi.js claims itself as the fastest game engine, but I'm not so sure about that.

In your opinion, what is the best/fastest javascript framework? Which one would you suggest?

 

Thank you so much,

Simone

Do you need to use .svg files? If not go for PixiJS, it's the fastest.

Check this benchmark : http://www.goodboydigital.com/pixijs/bunnymark/ .

If you need tons of animated objects forget svg as they are not hardware accelerated in browsers.

I've done a lot of research on this and for porting to mobile your best bet is CocoonJS. Canvas+ from CocoonJS is the fastest. It is optimized to load and handle images and sound efficiently. It is canvas only though. Checkout Ludo's Quest to get a feel.

As for a framework, Phaser, Pixi or any other framework will do. Its a question of preference. I ended up building my own (Backbone Game Engine) in order to have full control.

Best of luck,
