No margin for errors

In a previous blog post I talked about the release of processing.js and how it could change how we see/use Flash. Upon experimentation and research, I looked at the canvas element and all the possibilities it offers. And…it’s sick!

First of all the canvas element is a part of the HTML5 specification and it allows for dynamic scriptable rendering of bitmap images. I won’t go much into details as of how to use it, since all I did with it is a lame paint clone. Instead i’ll provide links to example so you can see how you can use it.

Please note that all those demos work best with Firefox 3 or the latest version of Safari, since their JavaScript processing is much, much faster than what it used to be.

So here are the examples:

• 3d Counter Strike like game
• Hairy div
• Interactive 3d models
• 3d racing “game”
• My lame paint clone

It’s really worth it to take a look at that element and follow closely what will happen in the future as more and more browsers will support it.

P.S: I told you my paint clone was lame…
