About M.GRL
M.GRL, also known as the Midnight Graphics and Recreation Library - but pronounced "Magical Girl" or "M-Girl" - is a WebGL rendering framework ostensibly for writing games with.
M.GRL is currently "UNDER CONSTRUCTION" (insert 90's gif here) - meaning that the API is not yet stable. There are several features missing, and several major bugs yet, and so it is currently not advised that you build a project around it yet. That said, it is a near-term goal to make it into something someone might actually want to use. Outside interest is welcome, especially with finding bugs!
M.GRL provides the following features:
- multipass rendering
- robust animation capabilities
- a well optimized scene graph
- databinding shader variables
- integration with Blender
- flexible and intuitive API
- high fidelity magical realism
- photo surrealistic rendering
- source code available under the LGPLv3
- ...and so much more!

Use M.GRL!
At this point in time, there is no formal release of M.GRL. In the future, you will be able to download a "base template" archive from this page.
If you are brave, have a look at the development resources section.
Tutorials will also be available here in the future. Unfortunately the documentation index is rather sparse at the moment.
