• Desktop (windows, mac, linux)
• Mobile (ios, android), web (js + webgl)
• Unity projects

Ceramic was created by Jérémy Faivre, as well as multiple libraries used internally, but is also possible thanks to the following works:

• Luxe Engine (alpha) by ruby0x1 which was used as a transitional backend before clay backend was ready. Some snippets of Ceramic still directly come from luxe.

• HaxeFlixel's FlxColor class by Joe Williamson which was ported into to ceramic.Color and ceramic.AlphaColor classes.

• OpenFL by Joshua Granick and PixiJS by Mathew Groves to implement ceramic.Transform class.

• Haxe by Nicolas Cannasse, maintained by the Haxe Foundation, which is a fantastic cross-platform toolkit and programming language making it much easier to create a portable engine.

• Node.js and its huge amount of community supported modules, helping a lot to create feature-complete and cross-platform command line tools.

• Janicek Core Haxe by Richard Janicek, for some borrowed code for ceramic.Utils.hashCode().

• Slugify by Simov, and Slug haxelib port to provide ceramic.Slug.

• HaxeFlixel's FlxEmitter class used as a starting point to implement ceramic.Particles and ceramic.ParticleEmitter.

• Optimised HashMaps by Mikhail Vorontsov to implement ceramic.IntIntMap and related on static targets.

• Some crash logging snippets by Lars Doucet to handle errors with ceramic.Errors.

• Cardinal Spline JS by Gleb Denisov, used to create ceramic.CardinalSpline.

• Nuclear Blaze's GameBase Camera by Sébastien Bénard, used as a model to create ceramic.Camera.

• Bezier Easing by Gaëtan Renaudeau, used to create ceramic.BezierEasing.

• Some GLSL shader code by Richman Steward.

• Some browser mess handling from Howler.js to help implement Ceramic audio backend for web.

• Heaps Aseprite by Austin East, from which several snippets were ported for make Ceramic ase format parsing and rendering.

• Aseprite Blend Functions by Igara Studio S.A. and David Capello, which were ported to Haxe in order to implement ase frame blending at runtime in Ceramic.

• Extrude Polyline by Matt DesLauriers, via Haxe port used in Ceramic to draw lines.

• LibGDX, used as a reference for polygon triangulation.

• Haxe Format Tiled by Pavel Alexandrov to parse Tiled Map Editor's TMX format.

• Akifox Async HTTP by Simone Cingano, used to implement HTTP backend on native targets.

• Nape Physics by Luca Deltodesco and contributors.

• HSLuv to provide additional color manipulation helpers to ceramic.Color and ceramic.AlphaColor.

• Dear ImGui by Omar Cornut, via Haxe bindings initially created by Aidan Lee.

• Gif Capture ported by Tilman Schmidt and Sven Bergström from Moments.

• Linc RTMidi by Tilman Schmidt.

• Rectangle Bin Packing by Sam Twidale, used for ceramic.TextureAtlasPacker.

• Ase format parser by Michael Miriti to read .ase/.aseprite files.

• Fuzzaldrin from Atom to provide some auto-completion features at runtime debug UI.
