enchant.js
enchant.js ( GitHub: wise9 / enchant.js , License: MIT or GPL ) from Ubiquitous Entertainment Inc. is a new game engine that uses HTML5. It supports events, sprites, sounds, scenes, maps, and a whole host of other game-management classes. It also supports controls for touchscreen devices.
The game engine itself is designed around events, so from what I can tell it's mostly asynchronous. There's a plugin system for extending the engine itself, and some sample images are included which includes some font sprites.

…Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10. We wanted to share our first impression of the HTML5 experience. Simply put, (and with the caveat that we were running on the notably overpowered developer preview hardware) the IE10 HTML5 experience is one of the best we've seen on any platform to date. After a decade of web neglect, Microsoft is back with a vengeance.
