## What it is
Enable3d is a TypeScript 3D game framework for the web that wraps three.js and adds ammo.js (Bullet) physics, and can also be used as a physics plugin for three.js or a 3D extension for Phaser 3. It supports headless physics on Node.js for server-side simulation and deploys to mobile and desktop via Capacitor and Electron.

## Use cases
- add physics to a three.js scene
- build a 3D web game with WebGL
- add 3D objects and physics to a Phaser 3 game
- run headless physics on a Node.js server for multiplayer games
- convert a 3D web game to an Android or iOS app
- create a 3D HTML5 game quickly with a batteries-included framework

## When to choose
- you want three.js rendering with rigid-body physics out of the box
- you are building a Phaser 3 game and need a third dimension
- you need server-side physics simulation without a browser environment

## When to avoid
- you need a full production-grade game engine with editor tooling like Unity or Godot
- you only need 2D physics or 2D games
- you require a non-Bullet physics engine or non-WebGL rendering

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, graphics, simulation, plugin-system
- domain: web-development, graphics, cross-platform
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: threejs, ammojs, physics, phaser, webgl, 3d, typescript, html5-games, headless-physics, game-development, web-server, nodejs, javascript
