HTML Expert – Canvas Element

Saturday, July 15th, 2006

This may be a stretch, but imagine Doom XII over the web. Enter canvascape – 3D walker – a wolftenstein demo using the html element canvas.

Originally introduced by the folks over at Apple, the canvas element is an extension to the HTML standard that allows for dynamic rendering of scriptable bitmap images.

According to wikipedia’s canvas entry, it’s already fully supported in the latest browsers.

Checkout the other demos of the canvas element:

  1. Canvas Breakout
  2. Canvas Pong

databaseanswers.org is an excellent resource for learning database modeling.
