Heaps or Heaps.io is a mature cross platform graphics engine designed for high performance games. It is designed to leverage modern GPUs that are commonly available on both desktop and mobile devices.

It delivers fast iterations, real development power and multi-platform compilation with native access and minimal overhead. The toolkit is flexible, open-source and free. It allows custom rendering pipelines for the graphics you need. Heaps.io is used in many Ludum Dare games but also by big game studios.

Heaps is currently working on:

  • HTML5 (requires WebGL1, WebGL2 is supported as well)
  • Mobile (iOS, Android, and tvOS)
  • Desktop with OpenGL (Win/Linux/OSX) or DirectX (Windows only)
  • Consoles (Nintendo Switch, Sony PS4, XBox One - requires being a registered developer)
  • Flash Stage3D

The Heaps API is comprised of several top level packages, namely:

  • h2d used for 2D display (for 2D games and user interfaces)
  • h3d used for rendering 3D models
  • hxd contains cross platform classes such as Bitmaps, and a complete resource loading and management framework
  • hxsl is the Heaps Shader Language implementation
