Open Standards & Libraries

jQuery

For DOM manipulations, the engine uses jQuery by John Resig and team.

Base

To simplify the inheritance model, I've chosen Base by Dean Edwards. The version in use by The Render Engine is slightly customized to simplify some common tasks.

Sylvester

The math library in use is Sylvester by James Coglan. It helps to simplify the many manipulations which must be done mathematically.

Brainjacked

A fellow named Willie Lau wrote some fantastic routines which are in use by The Render Engine. Unfortunately, the site is no longer a code reference.

Sound Manager 2

Until recently sound has only be manageable with a Flash bridge. Scott Schiller wrote the fantastic Sound Manager 2. A Javascript to Flash bridge for playing sounds.

JSDoc Toolkit

For the generation of the API documentation, The Render Engine uses JSDoc Toolkit by Michael Matthews.
