# phaserjs/phaser > Phaser is a free open-source 2D HTML5 game framework with WebGL and Canvas rendering for desktop and mobile browsers. It provides scene management, physics, animation, input, and a large ecosystem for building web games in JavaScript or TypeScript. - Magnitude: 1.4 out of 10 — Steady - Stars: 40,603 total · +0 stars measured 2026-10-30, 10:49–13:12 UTC, ≈ 3 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Games & graphics · Language: JavaScript · License: MIT · Created: 2013-04-12 · Last push: 2026-08-21 - GitHub: https://github.com/phaserjs/phaser · Homepage: https://phaser.io · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/phaserjs/phaser ## Useful for - Build a 2D browser game with scenes, sprites, and Arcade physics - Prototype a mobile-friendly HTML5 game using the create-phaser-game CLI - Embed a Phaser game as a Discord Activity or YouTube Playable ## Why it’s here - Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-30 (UTC), 10:49–13:12: 40603 → 40603 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +3 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - GitHub Trending JavaScript today: #8, +7 stars. ## Star trust Star growth looks organic. Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer. ## Numbers - Forks: 7,185 - Issues and pull requests: 7,210 - Watchers: 1,185 - Average over the last week: 9 per day - Usual pace: 9 per day - Stars in the last hour (measured): 0 - Latest release: v4.2.1 (2026-07-09) ## Stars per day, last 30 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-01 … 2026-10-30: 2, 5, 3, 5, 9, 8, 9, 10, 9, 10, 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 6, 4, 5, 8, 15, 11, 10, 10, 5, 9, 8, 6, 19, 13, 0 ## Spotted in now - GitHub Trending JavaScript today: #8, +7 stars ## Similar by description 1. **Kapendev/parin** — 0.1 · Steady · Games & graphics · D · Not enough measurements today A code-driven 2D game engine for the D language, sitting between a small library like raylib and a large engine like Godot. It bundles physics, dialogue, animation, tile maps, and exports to Web, Windows, Linux, and macOS. Full card: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/Kapendev/parin.md --- Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
