Page 1 of 1 ## Babylon.js Reference project JavaScript/TypeScript engine for browser-based 3D games and interactive scenes. ### Why we recommend it Babylon.js supplies scene, camera, material and asset tooling for a web 3D experience. Its Playground helps verify a scene idea before moving the code into your own versioned application. ### When to choose it - Browser 3D games, interactive product worlds and training experiences. - TypeScript teams that need a scene engine rather than a full desktop editor workflow. ### What to consider - Game rules, persistence and multiplayer authority remain application work. A rendering scene is not a complete online game. - The public learning CDN is not intended for production hosting. Pin packages and deliver assets through your own deployment; check browser GPU support. ### Start with this project Start with an official Playground example, then create a separate application using the documented npm/ES module packages. Add a camera, input, an asset loader and a small interaction. Verify the chosen WebGL or WebGPU path on your target browsers.

Official templates let you choose the surrounding frontend and bundler without designing the game infrastructure from scratch. ### When to choose it - Platform, puzzle, card and arcade games for desktop and mobile browsers. - Small web games embedded in an existing web product. ### What to consider - This is a 2D framework. Native packaging uses additional tools and does not follow automatically from a web build. - Pin the Phaser major version and matching examples; scene, renderer and physics APIs can differ between releases. Assets and game-specific systems remain your work. ### Start with this project Use the official create-game guide to generate a separate project and select a JavaScript or TypeScript template. Implement preload, a scene, keyboard/touch input, collision and a restart; inspect the generated scripts before running them.

Use it when you want to assemble your own game architecture and choose physics and networking separately. ### When to choose it - Custom web 3D visuals and lightweight interactive game prototypes. - A product whose rendering needs are more specific than a full engine workflow. ### What to consider - Three.js does not supply a complete game framework: gameplay, physics, networking, save data and level tools need separate design. - The default dev branch is development source. Choose a release and matching addons; importing mixed versions or retaining unused GPU resources causes integration problems. ### Start with this project Follow the official installation manual in a separate web application. Create a scene, camera and render loop, then add input and one interaction. Keep the core library and addons at the same release and explicitly dispose of replaced GPU resources.

The engine can be used in your own application independently of the hosted editor service. ### When to choose it - Browser 3D games and interactive scenes with an entity/component structure. - Web teams that need glTF assets and a standalone engine workflow. ### What to consider - The MIT Engine repository is distinct from the hosted Editor and its service plans. Choosing the engine does not include a hosted project or paid editor features. - Gameplay, networking and production asset delivery need your own implementation. Check the target browsers and graphics fallback before promising WebGPU or XR support. ### Start with this project Use the official standalone-engine guide or documented create-playcanvas generator in a separate project. Pin the engine, create entities and components, load one model and test camera/input, resize and the selected graphics backend.
