@Valentin Hacker can you please explain what have you done there , sorry the canvas concept is new to me

Answer 4

here is a short example on how to use the canvas:
1) create canvas element in the HTML with an id:
<canvas id="myCanvas"></canvas>
2) find the element with javascript:
var canvas=document.getElementById("myCanvas");
3) get 2d context for the canvas (there are other context types, for now we will use 2d):
var ctx=canvas.getContext("2d");
4) draw something:
let's draw a filled green circle with a radius of 10 at coordinate (100,100) of the canvas:
ctx.beginPath(); // begin/reset the path
ctx.fillStyle="green"; // set fill color
ctx.arc(100,100,10,0,Math.PI*2);
ctx.fill(); // apply fill (this will draw a filled circle)
ctx.closePath(); // close the path
the paramaters sent to arc are as follows:
arc(x, y, r, sAngle, eAngle, counterclockwise)
x, y, r paramaters are quite self explainatory, coordinates and radius.
sAngle is the starting angle, eAngle is the end
so 0 to Math.PI*2 fills a complete circle.
so if you wanna draw pac-man in the future, just try to play with those 2 paramaters xD
and counterclockwise is an optional paramater stating the direction in which we draw the circle.
another useful methos is ctx.stroke() which will draw just a circle with no fill and to set it's color, use:
ctx.strokeStyle="blue"; // or any other color

Answer 5

ctx.fillRect(x,y,1,1);
