Phaser - HTML5 Game Framework

Phaser is a fast, free, and fun open source HTML5 game framework that offers WebGL and Canvas rendering across desktop and mobile web browsers and has been actively developed for over 10 years.

Games can be built for the web, or as YouTube Playables, Discord Activities, Twitch Overlays or compiled to iOS, Android, Steam and native apps using 3rd party tools. You can use JavaScript or TypeScript for development. Phaser supports over 40 different front-end frameworks including React and Vue.

Phaser is commercially developed and maintained by Phaser Studio Inc along with our fantastic open source community. As a result of rapid support, and a developer friendly API, Phaser is currently one of the most starred game frameworks on GitHub.

v4 Beta Release

You are looking at the Beta Release of Phaser v4. There are large internal differences between Phaser v3 and v4, although the public API has remained largely, but not entirely, the same.

Please only use this release if you wish to help beta test Phaser v4.

Installing Phaser from NPM

Install via npm:

npm install phaser@beta

Phaser TypeScript Definitions

Full TypeScript definitions can be found inside the types folder. They are also referenced in the types entry in package.json, meaning modern editors such as VSCode will detect them automatically.

Depending on your project, you may need to add the following to your tsconfig.json file:

"lib": ["es6", "dom", "dom.iterable", "scripthost"],
"typeRoots": ["./node_modules/phaser/types"],
"types": ["Phaser"]

Have fun!

Grab the source and join the fun!

Phaser wouldn't have been possible without the fantastic support of the community. Thank you to everyone who supports our work, who shares our belief in the future of HTML5 gaming, and Phaser's role in that.

Happy coding everyone!

Cheers,

Rich and the whole team at Phaser Studio
