Welcome to RectangleWorld, a new blog by Dan Gries of flashandmath. Although I am still very much interested in Flash and ActionScript, I am beginning to explore HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript, and will be posting some beginner-to-advanced tutorials here as I work on mapping my skills to this new environment.
Coming from a background in ActionScript, I am accustomed to working with strongly typed variables, a display list, mouse event listeners attached to individual display objects, bitmapdata with BlurFilters and GlowFilters and ColorMatrixFilters…the list goes on. It is a challenge to learn to work without these things, and I plan to write tutorials both for new coders and for seasoned ActionScript developers looking to add HTML5 Canvas to their repertoire.
Please check back often!
Just found your articles on Canvas & OOP. Seldom have I found such well documented tutorials (I need all the help I can find). Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
