Gyudon.js is a Javascript library that lets you quickly and easily create objected oriented animated canvases. Using this easy to use library you can quickly create games and applications without relying on Flash and other browser plugins, making the most of what modern browsers have to offer natively. Check out the Dymaxion Puzzle Game that I created in less than a week (in my spare time) for a competition. It shows you what is possible to create with Gyudon.js in such a short amount of time.
It's named after the delicious Japanese fast food, Gyudon (beef bowl).
You can see a working example of Gyudon.js as a game I created for Open Call for Google Developer Day 2011:
I also created a simple experiment with animated circles:
Here is a representation of our solar system using Gyudon.js:
I have created the following github repository to allow for collaboration on Gyudon.js:
