PixiJS

🚀 GitHub Sponsors is live! PixiJS is now live on github sponsors and we’ve updated our tiers across both @github and @opencollect! 👉 pixijs.com/8.x/sponsor We’d love your support, especially from companies who rely on PixiJS. Help us keep pushing the web forward!

We also upgraded the docs for working with AI tools. All API docs now export as **Markdown**, with one-click copy for ChatGPT / Claude. Each release also ships with `llms.txt`, so tools can grab the correct context for that PixiJS version. pixijs.download/v8.17.0/docs/l…

You can check out our blog post for all the details: pixijs.com/blog/8.17.0

PixiJS v8.17.0 is out 🎉 • Major improvements to text rendering • BlurFilter optimized for WebGL + WebGPU (faster + better quality) • tagStyles support in SplitText • Lots of bug fixes across Graphics, filters, and more

I've been building ProteoCosmos: an interactive navigator of the human protein-protein interaction network. Built on data from STRING DB, The Human Protein Atlas, AlphaFold DB, Uniprot, and PAN-GO.

@ericjeker @greensock Not online yet. Still experimenting and iterating to see what it can become!

@PixiJS @greensock Is this available online or just a prototype?

What if you could animate your shaders as well? Just added animation support to the shader editor. Animation powered by @greensock, rendering running on WebGPU. This has made it super easy to bring shaders to life.

My Raycasting system in my game #FCF7O Link to my blog article explaining how I did it: lepasoft.com/en/blog/raycas… #PIXI, fundamentally a 2D rendering engine, made this quite a challenge #gamedev #indiedev #webgl #ECS #coding

Been seeing shader editors pop up lately, so I finally decided to try building one. This is super rough... just a proof of concept. The cool part is we already have a pretty big library of effects ready to plug in. Might be worth exploring for prototyping effects quickly?

@alanscodelog That makes sense, I’ll experiment with a lighter color scheme and see how it looks!

@PixiJS Nice, maybe show it with a lighter color? Shadows are always hard in dark mode.

Working on an inner shadow filter for the next release. Great for matching Figma mockups and adding subtle depth to UI elements. Still working on the best way to showcase the effect...

@pie6k The filter is applied locally to the object (not the screen). So if part of the object is off-screen, that portion, including the corresponding part of the filtered effect, will also be off-screen. If that makes sense?

@PixiJS How will it work if part of the element is out of the screen?

Here’s one of the old examples. Rendering: great. Aesthetics: debatable. Let us know what you think of the new direction.

We’ve been looking at refreshing our examples. Our current ones are… let’s say… very developer designed. We are definitely not designers. We prefer writing rendering engines. So this is slightly outside our comfort zone 😅

10年前にRPGMaker MVが出て以来、自力でラングリッサーのシステムを再現した！ Pixijsのおかげで、RPGMakerは今やマジで最高のゲーム制作エンジンだぜ！ #rpgmaker #ツクールの日

i just asked claude to use macos-tools, scrape all my contacts, calendar events, emails + whatsapp and linkedin messages to build a graph for my netwrok built with @PixiJS prompt 👇

I have ported this beauty to @PixiJS as well: codepen.io/robocop-roboco… "Nova" by @XorDev

Trying out @PixiJS for Code Canvas instead of using the DOM. The difference in performance is huge, and the added overhead for writing the rendering logic is not even noticeable now that I'm not actually writing any of the code myself anyway.

@Sathya_raj We have a PR open to generate a new llms.txt file that does a much better job of fetching relevant docs without blowing up the context window: pixijs.download/chore-doc-inte… We are exploring other doc variants but it's tricky to keep within reasonable token limits

@PixiJS Please create low, mid, large.md files for docs which can be fed to LLMs

This month we’re focusing on making PixiJS easier to use alongside AI tooling. If you’re building with AI tools, what could Pixi be doing better? Where are the pain points right now?
