This is the home of raster.js, a retro graphics framework.

It lets you create graphics that imitate vintage computers and ancient game hardware, using javascript.

Below is a scene made using raster.js; click to see the source code. It combines palette cycling, sprite star-fields, colorspace glitches, raster bars, and other classic effects.

Use It

Get started with the tutorial guides, or try it right now, in your browser, using the Devkit.

You can also run it in node.js using SDL, or on the Raspberry Pi, or using custom hardware displays.
