Lesson Code: http://www.developphp.com/video/HTML/Canvas-Animation-Basics-Tutorial
Learn the entry level basics of animation programming on the HTML5 canvas element using Javascript to perform the animated effect. The 3 basic steps to canvas tag animation programming are (1) Draw your assets (2) Clear the canvas (3) Redraw your assets into a new location or state of being. Your animation speed and fluidity depends on the time interval you set for a setTimeout() or setInterval() method in Javascript. It also depends on the incremental factors of any animations.

XD you're comments had me geeked
Thank you my friend for sharing your knowledge.
Hello Adam, can you please tell me how to have your box moving in a vertical formation instead of going from left to right? I appreciate it. Thank you. Love your videos.
I enjoyed this lesson. One question though, I noticed my ctx.fillStyle ="rgba (0,200,0,1)"; was grayed out when I added the quotations giving me a black box animation that otherwise worked fine. Also when I removed the quotations and hit the draw button,nothing happened. If anyone has suggested fixes, I am all ears.

THX, I've been programming in p5.js, a javascript framework, and now I wanted to program in real javascript, but I didn't know how to make a loop dat updates the canvas after it passed trough!

ctx.fillStyle = "red";
x +=1;
ctx.fillRect(x,50, 30,30);
