It's a high-level interface, optimized for simplicity, to a pure Pixi 3.x renderer.

It smoothes out a lot of bumps, inconsistencies and debatable design choices in Pixi's API, so that you have a nice and easy to make interactive objects.

(But, it also gives you access to the global `PIXI` object so that you can do low-level Pixi coding if you want to.)

And, it includes whole bunch of useful built in-features for game design and general interactive application design.

You get a fixed-tilmestep-variable-render game loop, built-in sound file player, sound effects generator, easy asset preloading, a built-in preloading bar, a full suite of 2D geometric collision functions, and a full suite of collision functions for tile based games.

It will also parse Tiled Editor maps, and import Texture Packer formatted texture atlases.

The aim of the project is simplicity: to get as much done, writing as little, declarative code as possible

I find these invaluable:

Happy learning!
