looking for a standalone Spine library

[Ezelia]

Hi all,

 

does anyone know about a standalone Spine Javascript labrary ? (not the one on the official repository it's hard to maintain ...)

 

I really need this, preferably an unobstructive implementation so I can render it the way I want ...

 

I didn't find any good implementation in JS

I don't think one exists. Everyone seems to use the official one, which I agree is one huge long stream of code.

I found this one witch is cleaner : https://github.com/tleunen/spine-js

 

the source code is inspired by C++ runtimes witch have better structure than JS one.

 

 

the project seems to be abandonned but it's working fine for animations.

didn't tester with texture atlas yet.

also flipping/scalling animation seems to be buggy.

 

I'll try to maintain a fork, but this will take me some time since I'm very new to Spine.

The official runtime has the benefit of still being updated when new features come out, such as

 

- keyable draw order

- animated bounding boxes

- free form deformation (not too soon)

I don't know if these are important for your project, just wanted to mention it

the official JS runtime is really bad documented, hard to use .... I don't know why it's the only one with such a bad code :/

the on I give has the same structure as other implementations and seems cleaner/easier to maintain ... I can't imagine they'll be able to maintaint the official JS runtime for a long time it all the code is put in the same file
