The greatest feature among all is implementation of entity-component system that allows the creators to build things by blocks in the game which looks Lego-like. Mozilla knows how important it is to give access of the codebase to the developers, so that game creators can look upon it & debug it when code fails. So, today Mozilla announced on its blog about its move of opensourcing PlayCanvas.

Source code of the game engine can be obtained from GitHub - playcanvas/engine: Fast and lightweight JavaScript game engine built on WebGL and glTF. The Game Engine is licensed under MIT. Detailed information can be obtained from its PlayCanvas WebGL Game Engine & PlayCanvas Goes Open Source - Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog.
