From drawing a single letter to multiline animated particle text. In this HTML canvas crash course we will go from basics to advanced in a single video. We will cover everything you need to know about using FONTS and drawing TEXT on HTML canvas. Let's explore what's possible in modern front-end web development and turn text into complex animated particle systems. Have fun! :)
This technique will also work with company LOGOS, even if the logo is a combination of text, symbols and images.
EXTENDED version available here:
- contains a bonus lesson to convert the codebase in particle CONSTELLATIONS effect.
- also includes the full source code and many experimental codebases as shown in the intro: www.udemy.com/course/learn-ht...
Also available on Skillshare: (1 free month using the link below)
www.skillshare.com/en/r/profi...
Today we will learn how to:
🎨 Draw text on canvas using built in fillText and strokeText methods
🎨 Wrap multiline text (measureText method)
🎨 Apply custom canvas gradients to strokeStyle and fillStyle
🎨 Convert any text into an iteractive particle system
🎨 Add physics, animated transitions and mouse interactivity
All of that with no frameworks and no libraries using just vanilla JavaScript, HTML5 canvas element and object oriented programming. I will explain every line of code step by step as we build our interactive animated project. Let's make art with code and learn JavaScript and front end web development in the process.

Hey Frank, glad to see your Udemy courses are going well! Well deserved! Your intros have also gotten out of control! From time to time I still think about what might be a fun collab project. In terms of education I'm thinking of some vanilla Javascript methods for detecting and reading from devices like a gamepad and for making API calls to servers. Might tweet you a proof of concept before the end of the year to see if you think it'll be fun.

I also enjoy breaking the code at diffrent points to gain deeper understanding off how it works and how it can be changed. Love your channel man I am having so much fun playing arounnd with OOP in javascript. It is much faster to write and more visual than some of the c++ OOP we are doing in class.

Hi, thank you for this feedback, I was wondering if it was a bit too complex with all the algorithms. It's my favourite part to experiment with code, I literally make 100s of versions of each effect for fun. This one is great because we can change movement physics and visuals at the same time. So many possible combinations.

Hi Frank, I'm following your html canvas videos now since a year, you are making good tutorials, i learned very much from your videos. I got a tutorial-idea for one of your next videos, how about making a reality-like lightning animation in canvas? I wanted to do this since a long time now, but i don't know the actual physics behind a lightning, especially don't when a "conductive" material is getting near to the lightning. It seems no one on KZfaq has done this before, so it would be an interesting project in my opinion, so you may try this some day. Sorry if my english sounds a bit clonky, I'm from Germany. Have a good day, Bernsteindev

Just need to check what changes they made since I last used it. As opposed to vanilla JavaScript which stays the same, React syntax and best practices change all the time.

Dear Ertürk :) I would have to see what you are doing in the code to help you. Keep in mind that canvas animation works like this: you draw something, you delete it, you update it, you draw it again at the updated position. You repeat this logic over and over to create an illusion of animation. same thing applies if you are drawing a static shape if you are deleting canvas from inside your animation loop. I'm not sure what you mean when you say you use interval, are you using setInteval instead of requestAnimationFrame?
