"The browser is my canvas", a phrase used by the creative of programmers, or so it was until the lords of the DOM gave birth to the HTML5 canvas element.
A canvas within a canvas? Such inception has brought upon some weird results, opening up a world so malleable mere mortals have the power to create their own worlds, with their own physics, that manipulate its inhabitants. Even now a developer will sit in a dark basement, eyes glued to a screen, creating magic numbers that push and pull their creations against their will. They have become Gods of their canvas world.
With great power… comes some cool HTML5 canvas experiments! But never forget the particles that live within these worlds, at the mercy of their masters.
