HTML5 Particle System Experiments

Posted over 1 year ago on December 17, 2010

I've been using HTML5 techniques more extensively at my work, and being an agency there are a lot of requests for rich, Flash-type interactivity and animation. So I've been experimenting with Canvas and SVG as mediums to use instead of Flash under some circumstances.

It's clear very quickly that the Canvas API is far less mature than ActionScript. I'm already hand-rolling some stuff that comes out of the box in Flash, and that will only continue as these experiments get more sophisticated.

One technique I'm currently using that I'm particularly proud of is the full-window Canvas that responds to resize events.
