M2D is a 2D sprite library using Molehill, the new GPU hardware accelerated API for Flash. M2D is intended for projects that primarily use bitmaps for rendering.

It consists of:

• A set of optimized 2D sprite drawing routines. Independent from the rest of the library, the GContext class is a wrapper around molehill that batches up 2D bitmap draws into as few draw calls as possible.
• A retained mode ‘world’ infrastructure for doing display-list like 2D rendering on molehill.
• A bare bones set of classes for managing symbols and sprite instances in the world.
• A basic particle system for rendering large numbers of particles parametrically on the GPU.
• Various stubbed out sections for animation, time, etc.
