Greetings fellow webonauts! KineticJS is an HTML5 Canvas JavaScript framework that enables high performance animations, transitions, node nesting, layering, filtering, caching, event handling for desktop and mobile applications, and much more.
You can draw things onto the stage, add event listeners to them, move them, scale them, and rotate them independently from other shapes to support high performance animations, even if your application uses thousands of shapes. Served hot with a side of awesomeness.
Go to [http://lavrton.github.io/KineticJS/](http://lavrton.github.io/KineticJS/) for tutorial and documentation.
Before doing all dev stuff make sure you have node installed. After that, run `npm install --dev` in the main directory to install the node module dependencies.
To build a development version of the framework, run `grunt dev`. To run a full build, which also produces the minified version and the individually minified modules for the custom build, run `grunt full`. You can also run `grunt beta` to generate a beta version.
* While developing it is easy to use `grunt server` with watch task. Just run it and go to [http://localhost:8080/test/runner.html](http://localhost:8080/test/runner.html). After src file change kinetic-dev.js will be automatically created, so you just need refresh test the page.
KineticJS is covered with hundreds of tests and well over a thousand assertions. KineticJS uses TDD (test driven development) which means that every new feature or bug fix is accompanied with at least one new test.
I'd be happy to review any pull requests that may better the KineticJS project, in particular if you have a bug fix, enhancement, or a new shape (see `src/shapes` for examples). Before doing so, please first make sure that all of the tests pass (`grunt test`).
