- ice_man 17y agoLook at the source code. ~7000 lines of javascript -> anywhere from a month to a year, depending on how good/fast you are.
- llimllib 17y agoI wrote a tutorial that might be useful: http://billmill.org/static/canvastutorial/ http://billmill.org/static/canvastutorial/
- godDLL 17y agoThat's very very nice. The ability to effortlessly tinker with code samples is priceless. As is use of JQuery.
- ewingpatriarch 17y agoI used this tutorial when I was learning about the Canvas a few months ago - thanks very much for making it, it's a fantastic resource!
- psawaya 17y agoIf you're interested in HTML canvas, and want to get started quickly, you should look into processing.js: http://processingjs.org/ http://processingjs.org/ Otherwise, this "cheat sheet" helped me the most: http://blog.nihilogic.dk/2009/02/html5-canvas-cheat-sheet.html http://blog.nihilogic.dk/2009/02/html5-canvas-cheat-sheet.ht...
- ido 17y agoI tried processing.js (having used both processing and canvas+js) and I must say I would _not yet_ recommend it. The tools just aren't there yet, I'd rather develop in plain js+canvas for now (for which you can get decent editors, debuggers, profilers, etc.)
