Using Crafty

A simple game of pong:

Crafty.init(600, 300);
Crafty.background('rgb(127,127,127)');

//Paddles
Crafty.e("Paddle, 2D, DOM, Color, Multiway")
    .color('rgb(255,0,0)')
    .attr({ x: 20, y: 100, w: 10, h: 100 })
    .multiway(200, { W: -90, S: 90 });
Crafty.e("Paddle, 2D, DOM, Color, Multiway")
    .color('rgb(0,255,0)')
    .attr({ x: 580, y: 100, w: 10, h: 100 })
    .multiway(200, { UP_ARROW: -90, DOWN_ARROW: 90 });

//Ball
Crafty.e("2D, DOM, Color, Collision")
    .color('rgb(0,0,255)')
    .attr({ x: 300, y: 150, w: 10, h: 10,
            dX: Crafty.math.randomInt(2, 5),
            dY: Crafty.math.randomInt(2, 5) })
    .bind('UpdateFrame', function () {
        //hit floor or roof
        if (this.y <= 0 || this.y >= 290)
            this.dY *= -1;

        // hit left or right boundary
        if (this.x > 600) {
            this.x = 300;
            Crafty("LeftPoints").each(function () {
                this.text(++this.points + " Points") });
        }
        if (this.x < 10) {
            this.x = 300;
            Crafty("RightPoints").each(function () {
                this.text(++this.points + " Points") });
        }

        this.x += this.dX;
        this.y += this.dY;
    })
    .onHit('Paddle', function () {
        this.dX *= -1;
    });

//Score boards
Crafty.e("LeftPoints, DOM, 2D, Text")
    .attr({ x: 20, y: 20, w: 100, h: 20, points: 0 })
    .text("0 Points");
Crafty.e("RightPoints, DOM, 2D, Text")
    .attr({ x: 515, y: 20, w: 100, h: 20, points: 0 })
    .text("0 Points");

Left paddle is controlled by W & S, right paddle by UpArrow & DownArrow.

Quick build instructions

The easiest way to build crafty is to use gruntjs, which requires node and npm. If you have grunt, node, and npm already installed, then run npm install from Crafty's root directory. (This will pull down about 30MB of node packages.) From then on, just run grunt to build.

You can also use yarn instead of npm.

(Full instructions here.)
