PlayCanvas is an open source[1] 3D game engine/interactive 3D application engine alongside a proprietary cloud-hosted creation platform that allows for simultaneous editing from multiple computers via a browser-based interface.[2] It runs in modern browsers that support WebGL, including Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. The engine is capable of rigid-body physics simulation, handling three-dimensional audio and 3D animations.

PlayCanvas has gained the support of ARM, Activision and Mozilla.[3]

The PlayCanvas engine was open-sourced on June 4, 2014.[4][5]

Features

The PlayCanvas platform allows for real-time editing of a project by multiple developers simultaneously. The engine supports the WebGL standard to produce GPU accelerated 3D graphics and allows for scripting via the JavaScript programming language.[6] Projects can be distributed via an URL web link or packaged, for example, for Android, using CocoonJS[7][8][9]
