I am trying to build a card game in Javascript. Currently I am using Raphael to draw my graphics, but I'm bad at math, like really bad. I'm wondering if there is a library or framework out there that would allow me to build a card game in Javascript without having to manually figure out the x and y coordinates of every object I want to draw.

Yes! JavaScript is a great language for game development, depending on the type of game you want to create. JavaScript is best for web-based and mobile games. It's also a great language for kids to learn because it's generally easy to understand and has plenty of resources for coders readily available online.

Usually a game engine include facilities to manage sprites, layers, and scene; handle events; easy animations; redrawing regions, detecting collisions, etc.
