Canvas Animation Tutorials

Hi guys I'm really in need of some good tutorials that can give me a head start on how to create cool animations with canvas using javascript. I really wanna know (the logic) how you guys create all these awesome codes i see on the code trending list. I'll really appreciate any help from website links to books.

I'd recommend p5.js. It's an open source library that makes canvas animations and games as easy as it can get: https://p5js.org/ There's an online editor, so you can literally start just by clicking this link. https://editor.p5js.org/ And there's this guy who makes pretty much the best videos out there on this topic. You can get started in no time. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRqwX-V7Uu6Zy51Q-x9tMWIv9cueOFTFA Good luck!

I found youtube videos by Adam Khouri very helpful. His videos cover all sorts of animation techniques, including the canvas. He also provides a series of videos he calls 'Canvas Bootcamp' which you might like to take a look at. MDN also provide good introductory material if you follow the link provided by Magneto. Best of luck Console.

You can combine p5.js with Anime.js P5.js is a graphics library, and Anime.js is a animation library, that can animate your p5.js graphics. http://animejs.com/
