Basic Animation Using HTML Canvas and Javascript

Javascript can do a lot of cool things. The introduction of the canvas element in HTML5 expanded what we can do with Javascript even further. So what is a canvas element? It’s an element that acts as a container for javascript drawn graphics. Although we won’t demonstrate this here, you can take your animations a step further by interacting with them using event listeners and handlers. We’ll instead make a simple animation with some different size circles bouncing around the screen.
