Molecule

Developing games usually involves working with different tools based on the platform developers want a game to run on.

Because HTML 5 is supported on all OSs, devices, and platforms, HTML 5 is considered an ideal medium for running games or other apps on, allowing programmers to write and maintain the codebase in one single place and technology.

Molecule is a game engine written in HTML 5 and JavaScript, allowing developers to create both mobile, desktop, and Web-based games.

Utilizing technologies and techniques used in classic game development, Molecule should be easy to learn by any game developer, allowing them to easily build or port existing games to the Web.
