Gamvas
Gamvas is a 2D HTML5 game engine for the canvas element. Gamvas tries to reduce low level tasks for the developer by providing a general game programming framework with game states, actors, actor states, cameras and Box2D physics integration. It is developed by the author of the MIT licensed C/C++ game engine Sge2d and shares many ideas with it.

myState = gamvas.State.extend({
draw: function(t) {
this.c.fillStyle = "#fff";
this.c.fillText("Hello World!", 0, 0);
}
});
gamvas.event.addOnLoad(function() {
gamvas.state.addState(new myState('hello'));
gamvas.start('canvasid');
});
