It is important for our painting application to have different tools like:
We have already built our pencil tool in previous parts. In this part, we’ll focus on creating the aforementioned tools.

Transforming objects in your HTML5 Game or Experiment requires a bit of understanding regarding how they work. The behaviour and end result is not as intuitive as CSS3 transform functions like rotate()
or scale()
. I could quickly show you how to rotate or scale an image with its center as the origin, but it’s going to be super useful to take an indepth look at how the entire system works.

So you started moving an object on your canvas by manipulating vx
and vy
, i.e., velocity on the x and y axis. But then, you just realized that in real world scenarios the speed of an object reduces with time, if there’s no continuous acceleration. Even with an acceleration of X, there will be some friction faced counter-affecting the acceleration.
Sometimes your game or canvas experiment might have one or more layers of animating backgrounds that are set in motion for the player’s movement or some other reason (like creating a parallax effect?). Just had to do something similar the other day. The problem is tricky but with a bit of thinking it seems like I came up with a proper solution!

One of my previous posts talked about implementing gravity in our canvas experiments. Eventually, we made a realistic bouncing ball. We’ll kind of extend that experiment to make a quick fountain explosion on canvas obeying gravity.

Writing Text on canvas is pretty straightforward. All we need to know about is certain properties and methods that are pre-defined on the canvas’s context. You can draw/write all unicode characters using the related methods.
