From Canvas Basics to Particle Effects, No Libraries
This crash course moves quickly from HTML5 canvas fundamentals to building visually striking effects, all in vanilla JavaScript with no external libraries. Everything is coded step by step alongside the instructor, so you see how effects like Particles.js-style constellations actually work under the hood.
What You'll Build
- A drawing app using canvas basics
- An interactive particle system
- A mouse trail effect
- A constellations effect built entirely from scratch
Who it's for: beginners to canvas and creative coding who already have some basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript knowledge and want a hands-on way to level up.
Key takeaway: understanding canvas fundamentals unlocks generative art, game development, and creative coding more broadly -- the projects here are a starting point, not the ceiling.
