PlayCanvas Engine Adds 2D Support

The PlayCanvas HTML5 game engine just added 2D support in the form of Sprites, texture atlases, animated sprites, sprite components and 9 patch support.

From the PlayCanvas blog:

Quote:PlayCanvas is one of the most popular ways to build 3D interactive web content today. But before 3D graphics was a thing, there was 2D graphics!

Today we’re excited to launch the first part of our 2D graphics support. Great for building classic 2D games.

There are 5 great new features which will help you build 2D games using PlayCanvas.

Those new features are:
  • Texture Atlas assets

  • Sprite Asset

  • Sprite Component

  • Sprite Editor

  • 9 Slicing

For more details on the new 2D functionality in the PlayCanvas editor, be sure to check out this hands-on video where we illustrate how to import a texture atlas and use it to create 2D sprite animations:
