PixelBlitz Engine

PixelBlitz Engine is a game framework for Actionscript3 created by Norm Soule and Richard Davey. It provides quick and easy access to game-related features such as sprite handling, pixel blitting, collision detection, bitmap fonts, game related math, keyboard and mouse handling, parallax scrolling, filter effects and more.

Although still embryonic it is in development, with many future enhancements coming including: Tile Map support, Physics, new effects, sound manager, and whatever else we can think of to make game creation easier and quicker!

The latest version can always be found in our Subversion repository:

svn checkout http://pixelblitz.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pixelblitz-read-only

The Google Code project is here: http://pixelblitz.googlecode.com but please download it from svn, not the zip file as that is horrendously out of date.

    Without documentation, not even tutorials or a proper feature list, I don’t think figuring out how PixelBlitz works and its features from source code would be a good use of my time.
