Let's take any letter, word or a sentence and in three steps convert it into interactive particles effect. All in Vanilla JavaScript, no frameworks and no libraries.
In today's vanilla JavaScript text animation tutorial we will learn how to give particles some motion physics and apply forces such as friction and acceleration, then we will get the particles to form any shape we want, in this case letter shapes, and connect individual particles with lines similar to famous particles.js library, but we will use no libraries, everything we build today is from scratch using just plain vanilla JavaScript. I will explain all the code line by line as I always do.

This vanilla JavaScript text animation tutorial will have 3 main parts, in the first part we will create particles randomly spread around canvas and we implement some physics on them. We will apply forces like friction and acceleration and give each particle different weight to make the movement more realistic.
Then in the second part of this video we will take these particles and shape them into letters or images, both is possible with the code we will build today
And lastly in the third section we will take famous constellations effect from particles js library and we will connect particles that are near enough to each other with lines but we will not use any libraries, we will write our own vanilla JavaScript code that does that.

![JavaScript Pixel Manipulation for Beginners
Join me for this HTML canvas tutorial for beginners to learn pixel manipulation with drawImage, getImageData and putImage data JavaScript methods, so that we can use this in the next episode for advanced particle system effects.
More pixel manipulation tutorials using this technique:

HTML canvas provides us with a set of tools we can use to scan any image, get information about pixels that make up that image such as their color values and coordinates and then we can use those values to create all different kinds of effects from a simple colour shift or grayscale to advanced particle system effects like this. In todays episode we will dive deep into 3 important canvas methods drawImage, getImageData and putImageData.
Ive created this simple HTML canvas tutorial for beginners to help you get full understanding of what exactly they do so we can take that to the next level. All of that with no frameworks and no libraries using just plain vanilla JavaScript, as usual. Welcome to my creative coding series.
