Javascript Sprite Animation Library for Canvas Tag

Question

Can you point me to a good Javascript sprite animation library using the HTML Canvas tag?

A few Google searches only turned up some non-canvas projects. I am looking for something clean and simple.

Thanks.

Processing is a great visualization / animation framework, who has been recently ported to JavaScript: http://ejohn.org/blog/processingjs/.

Hope that helps :)

There is the cake toolkit as well, although it does provide different functionality (more closely sprite oriented) than processing.js (see @SebaGR's answer).

Unfortunately i don't think either of these libraries really constitutes a sprite library in a useful/complete way.

you could look at create.js... it uses sprite sheets and is developed for the canvas tag.
