Welcome to Grid Engine! Grid Engine helps you position and move objects on a 2-dimensional grid in JavaScript/TypeScript. It easily integrates with Phaser.js but can also be used standalone. For example you could write your own renderer for an ASCII game. You can even run it on a server with Node.js.

Features

Collision Detection - Detect tile based collisions with the map and other objects, supporting collision groups and multiple layers.

Pathfinding - Efficient and configurable pathfinding allows moving to a target position or following other objects.

Multi-tile Objects - Allow objects to span multiple tiles on your grid.

Isometric Maps - Choose between isometric and orthogonal maps.

Diagonal Movement - Four and eight direction movement and pathfinding is supported.
