why we cant use svg in gamings?

Answer 1

SVG files are of vector type, and as such, heavier and not suitable for games. On canvas, you have raster images, which are lighter and make games run faster.

Answer 2

@ Richard, there're JavaScript libraries that do the hard work.. But simply put, they use functions and methods that create frames like in a movie by setting interval to do the following many times per second: drawing a shape, clearing the canvas, drawing it again 1px to a direction (right/left/up/down), updating the canvas, changing colors.. and thus creating an animation..

Answer 3

Sorry for this dumb question zinc but how can we use canvas for making games since they don't have built in animation property
