LAB / EXPLORATION
Canvas Playground
Browser Graphics Practice Laboratory
Visual coding laboratory for Canvas rendering, animation, coordinates, and interaction experiments.
PLANNED LAB
Create small isolated Canvas experiments that strengthen graphics concepts before larger rendering and game projects. The implementation is planned.

Purpose
Create small isolated Canvas experiments that strengthen graphics concepts before larger rendering and game projects.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the Canvas coordinate system.
- Draw and transform basic shapes.
- Animate with a frame loop.
- Handle pointer and keyboard input.
- Practice text measurement and image drawing.
- Reuse successful experiments inside Mini Browser and game projects.
Technology Plan
Current, planned, legacy, or candidate technologies for this project.Implementation Scope
Planned behaviors, architecture decisions, and evidence this project should produce.
Drawing primitives
Practice pixels, paths, rectangles, circles, text, and images.- Fill/stroke.
- Transforms.
- Compositing.
- Clipping.
Animation
Build deliberate frame-loop experiments.- requestAnimationFrame.
- Delta time.
- Object movement.
- Pause/reset.
Interaction
Connect coordinates to user input.- Pointer position.
- Hit testing.
- Keyboard controls.
- Drag experiments.
Reusable studies
Promote useful experiments into larger projects.- Text layout for Mini Browser.
- Sprite drawing for game work.
- Debug visualization utilities.

Implementation context, boundaries, and later expansion.Project Notes
Scope
Each study should remain small enough to isolate one visual-computing concept.
Relationship
This lab supports Mini Browser / Rendering Engine and Bird Life Simulation Game.
