Impact++

Impact++ is a pretty incredible set of extensions for the Impact.js HTML5 Game engine that adds in:

  • Realtime Dynamic Lighting
  • Shadows
  • Pixel Perfect Lighting
  • Performance enhanced Box2D intergration with collision map slope support
  • Base Entity and Character classes

Written by Colin Hover, the extension adds a whole lot of goodies to an already excellent engine.

The extension is a very young project and be careful with performance, but the demo is impressive.
