lycheeJS

The first professional‑grade cross‑Browser and cross‑Platform Open‑Source JavaScript game engine.

Play in every Browser

The lycheeJS game engine runs in all modern Browsers, such as Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer!

Even all major Mobile Browsers are supported, including WebKit on Android, Chrome on Android and Mobile Safari on iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad.

Play on every Platform

The lycheeJS-adk (App Development Kit) includes a custom V8-based JIT runtime with OpenGL, GLU and GLUT integration and custom data types for interaction.

Using the lycheeJS-adk, you are able to create native, executable builds for Windows, Windows Metro, Linux, Android 2.3, Android 4.x, iOS 5.0+ and even for Mac OSX!

Try it yourself

There are a few example games included in the lycheeJS download.

If you want to try out the game and test it on your Desktop- or Mobile-Browser, you can navigate them to here: http://martens.ms/lycheeJS/game/jewelz/

Try the Jewelz Game!

Publish your Games on Facebook, the AppStore, Google Play Store and Steam

The lycheeJS-adk automatically creates prebuild packages for Third-Party distribution systems like Debian packages, Facebook, the AppStore, the Google Play Store or Steam.

So you, as a developer, only need to upload your game and enter the details for the distribution system afterwards.

Game Boilerplate

You can get started within minutes using the Game Boilerplate, showing you best practices in writing real cross-platform compatible games.

Read the Getting Started Guide or the Tutorials in the documentation that explain step-by-step how to build a game using the lycheeJS game engine and show you how to use the advantages of rapid development inside the Web Browser.

Anything 2D, Anything 3D

As the lycheeJS game engine is completely independent of the JavaScript runtime, you are able to use it in any environment. You can even create Games using WebGL in the Web Browser or using native OpenGL (SL / ES 2.1) within the V8 JIT runtime.

This allows you to create stunning 3D games for modern Web Browsers, native Games on Desktop environments and even for Android devices!

Open Source Philosophy

Everything in the lycheeJS library is Open Source.
Even this Website and the documentation is hosted on github!
