Coffixi.js

a CoffeeScript-based, AMD-compatible, minimal subset of pixi.js

What?

Coffixi is a subset of pixi.js translated to CoffeeScript.

Why?

Pixi.js is a performance-powerhouse, but I wanted to integrate it into a CoffeeScript-based game engine, and I like to have a consistent codebase. The same reasoning explains why I chose to modularize pixi.js with AMD.

Why a Subset?

I want to keep the pixi.js code doing what it does best: rendering sprites. Simpler APIs have fewer disagreements with other games/game engines.

What's Changed?

Some things have been removed:

• Interactivity
• MovieClip
• Text
• Rope (from extras)

I also intend to change any parts of the API as needed to integrate with my engine or other games/engines.
