I built Beast 2D, a simple and open-source JavaScript framework for making 2D games in the browser. It uses HTML5 canvas and includes core features like sprite animation, event handling, physics, and a component-based entity system.

It’s written in plain JavaScript with no build tools required — just drop it into an HTML file and start coding.
