PixlCam

A set of 2D cameras for games written in TypeScript:

• A basic camera you can use for simple stuff
• A screen camera for drawing in screen-space coordinates
• A camera that follows your player smoothly
• An influenced camera inspired by the camera from Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet.

You'll get a projection and a model-view matrix ready to use, but there are also getters if your setup can't specify a camera matrix.

Fair Warning

The compile target of this library is es2015, so if you want to support older browsers, you'll have to ensure that this module is being transpiled to an older es version during your build-process.

Get started

• Read the documentation
• Look at the example (example/*.ts).
• Ask questions if the above doesn't clarify something good enough.
