JavaScript - How Do I Convert This To Html5 With Canvas?
Hi there!
I found this code, in reply to someone's problem, on this forum. I have altered it to my own needs, as it's an excellent piece of code. However, I would like it to run under HTML5. I believe I need to add "canvas" code to do the same?? I have already changed the doctype! HTML heading etc., Can anyone help? Many, many thanks!! Code: <!doctype html> <head> <meta charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Crazy Rally - France</title> <script type="text/javascript"> var frames = new Array(); //load frames into array for(var i = 1; i < 417; i++){ frames[i] = new Image(480,320); frames[i].src = "track" + i + ".png"; } //playback var currentFrameNumber = 1; var fps = 30; // frames / second const speed = 1000 / fps; // milliseconds //var speed = 33; function nextFrame( ) { document.getElementById("display").src = frames[currentFrameNumber].src; currentFrameNumber = ( currentFrameNumber + 1 ) % frames.length; setTimeout( nextFrame, speed ); } window.onload = nextFrame; </script> </head> <body> <img id="display" src="track1.png" width="480" height="320"> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsI am trying to create an Asteroids type game using JavaScript along with html5's canvas element for drawing. I have searched around and have looked at examples but I can't figure out what is wrong with my rendering that I do in the game loop that is run every frame. The problem appears to be only that the canvas is not cleared at the beginning of each frame but I feel there might be something wrong also. The code used and shown below only works in Firefox but not Google Chrome or Safari. Here is a picture of what it renders in Chrome: What is is supposed to look like and is in Firefox: Here is my set up for drawing on the canvas: Code: var canvas = null; var c2d = null; //... window.onload = init; function init() { canvas = document.getElementById('canvas'); c2d = canvas.getContext('2d'); setInterval( step, 1000/FPS ); //... //c2d.setTransform(1,0,0,1,0,0); // reset to identity <--Do I need this? } Below is the game loop function. Am I clearing the canvas correctly because it does not clear the screen? Also am I using the save and restore functions correctly? Each asteroid and player drawn is at a different of position and rotation so am I doing it correct to draw them? Code: function step() { //... canvas.width = canvas.width; //clear canvas PROBLEM //Things I have tried: //canvas.height = canvas.height; //clear canvas //c2d.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height); for (u=0;u<asteroids.length;u++) { c2d.save(); asteroids[u].draw(); c2d.restore(); } c2d.save(); player.draw(); c2d.restore(); c2d.strokeStyle = "#000000"; c2d.stroke(); } Below is the Asteroid and Player drawing functions. The Asteroid is a polygon and the Player is a triangle. Both rotate and are draw correctly but should I be passing a reference to the drawing reference? Code: function Asteroid_draw() { c2d.translate( this.x, this.y ); c2d.rotate(this.angle); for (i=0;i<this.points_x.length-1;i++) { c2d.moveTo(this.points_x[i],this.points_y[i]); c2d.lineTo(this.points_x[i+1],this.points_y[i+1]); } c2d.moveTo(this.points_x[0],this.points_y[0]); c2d.lineTo(this.points_x[this.points_x.length-1],this.points_y[this.points_x.length-1]); } function Player_draw() { c2d.translate( this.x, this.y ); c2d.rotate(this.angle); //Points {0,-12}{7,5}{-7,5} c2d.moveTo(0,-12); c2d.lineTo(7,5); c2d.moveTo(7,5); c2d.lineTo(-7,5); c2d.moveTo(-7,5); c2d.lineTo(0,-12); } Any help is appreciated. I'm trying to finish off a NotePad/SketchPad app using the HTML5 canvas element and i am getting an error when i try to PUT image data to the canvas. also the getImageData() function for CANVAS is also not working. I would like to get this working soon, because i have a really nice Prototype of a 7 inch Touch screen device i would like to install this to. Error: canvas.putImageData is not a function according to all of the HTML5 canvas tutorials i've read (including the one on Mozilla-Dev), it should be correct, but it's still throwing this error. It makes no sense at all. I remember getting a similar error to this before by using the DOM element identifier - getElementByID() where the "D" is a capital letter when it should have been a lower case. However that doesn't seem to be the case here.

You'll probably be seeing me a lot. Anyways here's my questions. I am trying to get a function to draw 5 randomly sized and colored rectangles nested within each other. Meaning each rectangle should not go outside the boundaries of the rectangle it is in. The color thing I've got down in a randomColor() function. It's the nesting rectangles inside rectangles that is confusing me (hense me being up for the past 4 hours trying to understand it) I started out with very simple code just making 5 rectangles of reducing sizes nested in each other, then added the Math.random to randomize all the sizes. Now I'm at this point and have lost my way. Please help, or maybe there is just an easier way. I added a bunch of comments in my code so maybe you'll understand what I'm trying to do. Code: function rect() { // rectangle generator autoctx.clearRect(0, 0, 400, 400); // clear canvas // declare variables var x; var y; var width; var height; var i = 0; // counter // create random x,y coordinates x = Math.round(Math.random() * 100); y = Math.round(Math.random() * 100); do { // create random size rectangle width = Math.round(Math.random() * 400); height = Math.round(Math.random() * 400); } while (width < 100 || height < 100); // make sure rectangle is big enough autoctx.fillStyle = randomColor(); // Runs random color generator autoctx.fillRect(x, y, width, height); // fill first rectangle do { x += (Math.round(Math.random() * 15)); // choose new random coordinates within previous rectangle y += (Math.round(Math.random() * 15)); // choose new random coordinates within previous rectangle //*********** KEEPS RECTANGLE HEIGHT AND WIDTHS FROM BEING A NEGATIVE NUMBER ***********// do { //*** WIDTH TESTER ***// validates width to be within previous rectangles width var testW = 0; // new width tester variable testW = width - (Math.round(Math.random() * (2 * x))); // store test width if (testW > 0) { width = testW; // if test width > 0 store in width } } while (testW < 0); // if test width < 0 continue loop do { //*** HEIGHT TESTER ***// validates height to be within previous rectangles height var testH = 0; // create height testing variable testH = height - (Math.round(Math.random() * (2 * y))); // calculate new test height if (testH > 0) { // if test height is > 0 height = testH; // store as height } } while (testH < 0); // if test height < 0 try again //*** Fills final rectangle values ***// autoctx.fillStyle = randomColor(); // Runs random color generator autoctx.fillRect(x, y, width, height); i++; // add 1 to counter } while (i < 4); // kick out of loop after the 5th rectangle } thanks guys I hope I'm not too confusing or anything, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I am trying to make an image mask using javascript. The basic idea is that the image on the canvas will appear as a black box. When the user hovers over the image a small part of it is revealed. I have attached a picture as an example because its quite hard to explain! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Luke I have strings's that are causing problems when being sent to a PHP script via JavaScript. (not all of it is getting sent) i.e. This is someone's line of text & it's rather long. I wish to convert the whole string to some other format say like the spaces to %20 and and the & to & I think, and so on... Then once the PHP script $_GET's the string it converts it back to the original. PLEASE NOTE: I wish to use JavaScript, not JQuery. Hey everyone, I have been practicing using canvas to make designs. My current code below will load the word the user inputs and makes it bounce around the canvas as well as a text spinner. However, whenever the user inputs a second word, the bounce below stops to start a new one and the text spinner messes up. I was wondering if anyone could help me so when the user inputs another word, that it either reloads a new textspinner or adds another one, as well as just add the word to the canvas without stopped the old one. Here's my current script. Thanks already, Joey Code: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <script> var ctx; var a=0.0; var as=true;//true a is increasing, false decreasing var x,y; var xs = 1; var ys = 1; var userWord var myDiv, t; var test = 0; var ds ="";//display string var sli =0; //spinning letter index; function init(){ ctx = document.getElementById("myCvs").getContext("2d"); userWord = document.getElementById("userWord").value; x=Math.floor(Math.random()*801) y=Math.floor(Math.random()*601); drawText(); setInterval("onEnterFrame()", 50); myDiv = document.getElementById("myDiv"); for (i =0; i<=userWord.length;i++){ ds += "*"; } myDiv.innerHTML =ds; textSpin(); } function textSpin(){ myChar = randomChar(); var newString = userWord.slice(0, sli); newString +=myChar; newString += ds.slice(sli+1, ds.length-1); myDiv.innerHTML = newString; if (myChar == userWord.charAt(sli)){sli++;} if (sli<userWord.length){ t = setTimeout("textSpin()", 80); } } function randomChar(){ var rc = Math.random()*26 + 97; //random lowercase char code return String.fromCharCode(rc); } function onEnterFrame(){ if(a>1){as = false;} if(a<0){as = true;} if(as){ a+=0.01; }else{ a-=0.01; } if(x>800){xs = -1} if(x<0){xs=1} if(y>600){ys = -1} if(y<0){ys=1} x+=10 *xs; y+=10 *ys; drawText(); } function drawText(){ ctx.font = "20px Times New Roman"; //ctx.fillStyle= "rgb(256,256,256)"; //ctx.fillText("Hello", x, y); ctx.fillStyle = randomColor(); ctx.fillText(userWord, x,y); } function randomColor(){ var r = Math.floor(Math.random()*150)+55; var g = Math.floor(Math.random()*256)+150; var b = Math.floor(Math.random()*20)+50; var a = Math.random(); return "rgba("+ r+ ","+g+","+b+","+ a+")"; } //function randomFont(){ // var s = Math.floor(Math.random()*100) +100; // return s; //+ "px Times New Roman";} </script> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color:#000; } #myDiv { color:#FFF; } </style> </head> <body onLoad=""><center> <input type="text" id="userWord" value=""> </input><br> <input type="button" id="enterWord" value="Enter Word" onClick="init()" ></input><br><br> <div id="myDiv" > </div> <canvas id="myCvs" width="800px" height="600px" /><br> <br> </center> </body> </html> I've been reading a lot of tutorials on the canvas tag and seen a lot of people using JavaScript that looks something like: ctx.beginPath(); ctx.moveTo(25,25); ctx.lineTo(105,25); ctx.fill(); I understand that ctx is just the variable name and I can replace that with any variable I define, however, I'm looking for a list of all of the methods such as (moveTo, lineTo, fill etc...), as well as what they do. I hope I'm explaining this or asking this correctly. Thanks! -Mike Hi there! How should I write this - better than it's now - so that when I rotate a figure, in the next "frame" it would stay rotated? Second thing - if you run this code, and set the angle for, let's say 180 degrees the figure is being drawn in some random location. How do I fix this? Code: Code: function GenericFigure(context) { this.states = ["wait", "moving", "rotating", "stop"]; this.state = this.states[0]; this.ctx = context; this.sqrW = this.sqrH = 20; this.ctxW = 200; this.ctxH = 350; this.colorsO = { red : "#ee1515", green : "#45d137", blue : "#17a3f3", orange : "#ff910f", purple : "#680077" }; this.colorsA = ["#ee1515", "#45d137", "#17a3f3", "#ff910f", "#680077"]; this.pickColor = function() { var num = Math.floor(Math.random() * 5); return this.colorsA[num]; } } function Rectangle(context) { this.inheritFrom = GenericFigure; this.inheritFrom(context); this.width = this.sqrW; this.height = this.sqrH * 3; this.x = this.ctxW / 2; this.y = 0; this.rotation = -1; this.setRotation = function(angle) { this.rotation = angle; } this.rotate = function() { this.ctx.clearRect(0, 0, this.ctxW, this.ctxH); this.ctx.translate(this.x + 2 * this.width, this.y - 2 * this.height + 20); this.ctx.rotate(this.rotation * Math.PI / 180); this.ctx.fillRect(this.ctxW / 2, 0, this.width, this.height); this.ctx.restore(); } this.moveDown = function() { this.y += 20; this.ctx.restore(); this.ctx.clearRect(0, 0, this.ctxW, this.ctxH); this.ctx.fillRect(this.x, this.y, this.width, this.height); this.ctx.save(); if(this.rotation > -1) { this.rotate(); } l("A"); } this.draw = function() { this.ctx.fillStyle = this.pickColor(); this.ctx.save(); this.ctx.fillRect(this.x, this.y, this.width, this.height); } } //a tak można wywołać: var ctx = document.getElementById("game").getContext("2d"); var rect = new Rectangle(ctx); rect.draw(); var inte = setInterval(function(){if(rect.y >= rect.ctxH - rect.height){clearInterval(inte);return;}if(rect.y == 60) rect.setRotation(90);rect.moveDown();}, 500); And the third problem: Code: this.ctx.translate(this.x, 0); I thought, that this line should set orientation point to top left corner of my figure, but it seems, that it doesn't - after rotation my figure is being drawn two heights lower. Again - how do I fix it? Any help will be much appreciated . Code: <form> <input id="a" size=4 name="neg" placeholder="1st Screen size in inch"> <input id="b" size=4 name="hoyr" placeholder="2nd Screen size in inch"> <input type="submit" value="GO!" onclick="getValue()"> </form> </div> <canvas id="MyCanvas" width="1000" height="1000"></canvas> <script type="text/javascript"> function getValue() { var x = document.getElementById("a").value; var y = document.getElementById("b").value; var aWidth; var aHeight; var bWidth; var bHeight; var c= document.getElementById("MyCanvas"); var ctx= c.getContext("2d"); ctx.fillStyle="#4AA02C"; ctx.fillRect(0,0,x,y); } Here, it draws canvas then disappears immediately. So I've been making a game using html canvas. Here is a link to the game. (Move around with wasd, rotate turret with left and right arrows) http://db.tt/ei3LlR The problem is that the shadow flickers when it is rotated. This does not happen in firefox. The shadow is not an image, but another canvas element, generated dynamically from the image of the tank. So the problem seems to be with webkit drawing rotated canvas elements inside another. Could this possibly be the reason behind this, or is it more likely to be a problem on my end? Hello guys! I need your help! I want to create a rectangle with a line in the middle with the canvas object. The problem is that the line in the middle gets bigger than the rest of the rectangle. How do I solve this? I believe it has something to do with shadows. If so, how do I turn them off. My code is: <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <canvas id='chart' width='400' height='200'> <script type="text/javascript"> var canvas = document.getElementById('chart'); var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'); ctx.lineWidth = 10; ctx.strokeRect(0, 0, 400, 200); ctx.moveTo(0, 100); ctx.lineTo(400, 100); ctx.stroke(); </script> </body> </html> I just cant wrap my mind around canvas. As far as I can tell theres no logical reason as to why the code would not work. Could someone take a look at it and possibly figure out whats wrong? I'm trying to intialize and draw a canvas with a simple image. I have the functions in a custom namespace in javascript. I am also using Jquery Code: var birdr = new Image(); var birdl = new Image(); $(document).ready(function(){ if(Modernizr.canvas){ var c = document.createElement('canvas'); LK.animLoad(); document.getElementById('backg-canvas').appendChild(c); $('canvas').attr({'width':'500','height':'500','id':'canvas'}); var context = LK.returnCanvas(); context.drawImage(birdl, 400,487,10,10); } }); var LK = { birdx: 400, //unused (lets just get it to draw the image first :\) birdy: 487, //unused animLoad: function(){ birdl.src = "images/bird2.png"; birdr.src = "images/bird.png"; //alert(birdl); //alert(birdr); }, returnCanvas: function(ca){ var b_canvas = LK.getCanvas(); var b_context = b_canvas.getContext('2d'); return b_context; }, getCanvas: function(){ var a_canvas = document.getElementById('canvas'); //alert(a_canvas); return a_canvas; } } Any help would be greatly appreciate thanks. Btw safari web inspector indicates the canvas is getting properly created and appended to the container div. So that all works fine. Anyone got any suggestions on techniques? The main one I find is to use translate to move the canvas around, which just seems odd to me. I don't even fully understand how it works. But the one I was looking at used clearRect. In examples given looked as though it had to redraw the canvas every frame. I'm just mucking around with a simple poker game, figured i'd have the table in one layer and anything that moves on a top layer? By doing that I could only clear each card as it moved around...yes? Anyone know of a better way of doing things? not sure if this is the right place to ask canvas questions, but if it is, i'm trying to program a game like air hockey (with some twists). it works pretty well now but the table is viewed from overhead, and i would prefer to show the game from the player's perspective, as in the pic, without having to rewrite my existing code. anyone know of any js libraries or formulas which can accomplish this? Hi. I'm writing a script that graphs data in different colors and shapes and I'm encountering two problems: (1) I can't specify different colors for the graph I'm rendering. If I use fillStyle="red"; then the entire chart becomes red. It seems to use the last color specified as the color for everything on the chart. (2) The shapes are overlapping in strange ways. The fills are not covering the lines of shapes behind them so it's unclear which shape is in front and which is behind. It's like they aren't being treated as separate shapes but instead one shape where boundaries are unclear. I don't know how else to explain it. I'm hoping there is some way to put each shape in its own layer. Would I have to use DIV IDs for that or is there a way to keep it all in the script so it's more scalable? So I'm creating a game and decided to use a canvas for the map. The map is a big pictures 500kb+ (6400x6400px) and the canvas size is 320x320 so I am displaying only part of the image at a time and have the page reload on button click for database purposes. What I'd like help with is performance. Currently it's taking a few secs to reload every time and it seems that it causes some cpu strain (can't switch tabs while loading). Could I stop the canvas from reloading the image each time the page is reloaded and if so then how? Can I make the canvas only load a part of the image, if so then how? If neither is possible any tips, solutions how to solve the performance issues? Hello, I have this idea, but I wouldn't want to reinvent the wheel if it's already been done. I want to generate perspective grid on canvas depending on browser window size, something like this, but without textures: http://www.123rf.com/photo_2651286_a...rspective.html Do someone of you guys know if some similar script already exists? Or at least some tips on how not to end up writing a 1000 lines script (At this point I would just drop the idea)? All thoughts appreciated. P.S. even an obscure algorithm would probably suffice, 'cause the main problem I'm struggling with is diminishing size perspective calculations I found a great little starfield script made with javascript and canvas3d. however i can't for the life of me figure out how to implement a background image inside the canvas. is there some command that tells it to use some feature of canvas, that if otherwise not called, won't allow normal graphics? his whole starfield is generated with a search engine form , and appears to just use a text period to represent stars. here's a link to his script: http://seb.ly/demos/canvas3d/canvas3d2.html how do i get a background image in that? or is it impossible? i tried putting it in the body tag, but it just flashed the background image on the screen for a half a second and then went back to showing only the black background. i tried removing the background body color and replacing it with only background-image ccs, same problem. i tried div positioning it, but the div just covered up the starfield. I have make a javascript program that uses HTML canvas and I can't get it to work in Internet Explorer. I tried using excanvas and jqcanvas but had trouble getting them to work. Does anyone know how to do this?
