Introduction

HTML5 canvas has changed the way javascript used to be. We're now able to achieve complex animation however we do need a powerful browser to interpret it. The following is 8 new HTML5 + Javascript animation effect you probably have not seen before! Play with each of them, you'll be blown away by the creativity and robustness of HTML5 canvas!

I like Tunnelers and Bomomo the most! You've to try Bomomo, it's fun!

  • Tunnelers

    Processing to sketch out the animation and form, then rewrote it from scratch in Javascript / Canvas HTML5. Simply awesome and amazing!
  • The Mesmerizer

    A simple experiment with a 16x16 grid of squares. Moving the pointer over the squares causes colours to appear and bleed into adjacent squares with an effect that is quite mesmerizing. Try clicking the corner squares or typing on the keyboard for additional effects.
  • Burn

    A simple test of local pixel-based modifications of an HTML5 canvas drawing area. Hold a mouse button down for a "slide down" effect.
  • Cheloniidae Live

    This project is pure JavaScript, though it uses a library that dynamically recompiles JavaScript functions to implement operator overloading. (This is done inside the browser, not ahead-of-time.) Pretty fun, you can alter the code and make your own drawing!
  • Canvas 3D engine

    A 3D engine on canvas, currently supporting a collection of basic prefab shapes, textures, and basic interaction. Current work includes collada (import) support, and improved texture and lighting features.
  • Bomomo

    Best give it a try yourself... just use your mouse & mouse button! All of the sudden, I have become artistic. :)
  • DDD

    Move mouse to draw, drag to rotate. This one is pretty fun, you have to try to see it.
  • Plasma Tree

    Inspired by nature - a visual presentation of a algorithm

I've made a couple of canvas tools that might be of interest to visitors here. One is a Font creator that make bitmap fonts that then load right into the canvas page. The other is called Canvas Path Maker. It creates simple paths and shapes, and then exports out as JS. They're both free! Please see them at
