One of HTML5 s most exciting features Canvas provides a powerful 2D graphics API that lets you implement everything from word processors to video games. In Core HTML5 Canvas best-selling author David Geary presents a code-fueled no-nonsense deep dive into that API covering everything you need to know to implement rich & consistent web applications that run on a wide variety of operating systems & devices. Succinctly & clearly written this book examines dozens of real-world uses of the Canvas API such as interactively drawing & manipulating shapes saving & restoring the drawing surface to temporarily draw shapes & text & implementing text controls. You ll see how to keep your applications responsive with web workers when you filter images how to implement smooth animations & how to create layered 3D scrolling backgrounds with parallax. In addition you ll see how to implement video games with extensive coverage of sprites physics collision detection & the implementation of a game engine & an industrial-strength pinball game.
