Franks laboratoryIn creative coding and animation, we can implement many different kinds of visuals. Instead of drawing particles as circle shapes with code, we can use a sprite sheet and make each particle one of the randomised star drawings. These more complex star shapes can also be drawn with code and I showed you how to do it before, but it's always more performance efficient to have a ready made image, rather than make JavaScript calculate and draw all these shapes over and over. We want smooth fast animation, so we should always try to make JavaScript do as little work as possible. Let me show you a very simple and easy way how to use sprite sheets with your particle effects.
Create beautiful particle systems with HTML5, CSS3 and plain vanilla JavaScript, no frameworks and no libraries. Understanding how the code works will allow us to transform this codebase into multiple very different effects. Let's explore the basic techniques and then take them to the limits in this particle effects crash course.

🎨 Toolkit 🎨 We will use vanilla JavaScript, no frameworks and no libraries because we want to understand every line of code. (JavaScript, HTML canvas, object oriented programming, HTML5, CSS3)
IT ALL STARTED IN 1976 as a two player ARCADE videogame called Blockade. It inspired other arcade games like Surround and Dominos (1977). The first home computer version called Worm followed in 1978. Mattel released Snafu in 1982. The same year Snake Byte was published for Atari computers and Nibbler, a single player arcade game. Tron arcade and it's light cycles are a player versus AI variant of the snake game concept. In 1991 there was Nibbles for MS-DOS and Rattler race was released the next year, where the snakes eat apples. In 1997 it was chosen as a pre-set game for Nokia cell phones followed by Snake 2 in the year 2000. Since then there were countless small flash games, with many different takes on the gameplay and graphics. Let's make our own version and add our own little contribution to the video game history. Challenge: can you add shadow to the snake? It might be more difficult than it seems because the body is made out of individual segments.

We will do all of that, and we will 1) build a BLANK REUSABLE BOILERPLATE project and 2) in the advanced section we will add graphics, animation & sounds to turn it into an ANIMATED SPACE HORROR game. Scary noises included.
OBJECT POOL DESIGN PATTERN allows us to reuse objects, rather than constantly creating new ones and destroying the old ones. This approach will improve the performance of the codebase, because it solves problems with automatic memory allocation and garbage collection processes.
STATE DESIGN PATTERN allows us to separate behaviors of the object into separate code blocks, giving us the ultimate control over each individual state, while at the same time making the code easier to read, maintain and debug.
Let's learn how to implement both of these design patterns in a real project using JavaScript & HTML Canvas.

It gives us complete control over our project. This is how I implement it with plain vanilla JavaScript and object oriented programming.
We can apply state pattern to an individual character to give it a set of abilities and special moves.
We can also apply it to the entire game, split it into levels and give each level different environment and other unique features.
State design pattern focuses on separating code for each state in it's own code block, that code block could be a special attack or individual game level for example.
In my implementation we will also include elements of finite state machine, which is more about the relationships between the individual states and how they transition into each other. We will restrict which states the alien is able to switch into and how it reacts to user inputs, depending on which state it is currently in.

🎨 Project 2: 00:57:16 Sunrays effect Apply specific styles to every nth particle. For example connect the mouse to every 10th particle with a line.
🎨 Project 3: 01:03:59 Particle bubbles Turn particles into bubbles that interact with mouse by growing and shrinking in size. Draw simple shapes with inflatable bubble trails.
🎨 Project 4: 01:11:17 Star particles Particles can look like any image of your choice. Turn particles into stars, planets or Pokémon. Learn how to use a sprite sheet (a single image that consists of several smaller images) and assign each particle one randomised frame.
🎨 Project 5: 01:24:15 Liquid Effects Experiments with interactive liquid and sticky effects, so called 'meta-balls'.
🎨 Project 6: 01:32:27 Bouncing particles Make particles bounce around a website. Collision detection between 2 rectangles, where one rectangle is a hit box around each particle and the other is a bounding rectangle of any website element of your choice.
🎨 Project 7: 02:02:53 Scrolling particles and animated characters Endlessly scrolling particle field effect, that can also be used for many games. And then we make those particle interact with animated character, using sprite animation capabilities of built-in drawImage method.
🎨 Project 8: 02:43:19 Spatially aware particles in liquid Create a simple physics system where particles push each other around, move around each other and do their best to never overlap. Also experiments with liquids and gradients.

Space Invaders was released in arcades across Japan in the summer of 1978. Back in the day, the processors were not powerful enough to move the entire army of aliens at the speed the designer Tomohiro Nishikado intended, but as the player defeated enemies, it freed more processor memory and the game was getting faster and faster the fewer enemies were on screen. It also affected the speed of background music. It wasn't intended but this rising difficulty bug became a game feature. We will create a variation on this by making the enemies come in larger and larger waves. I will be using NO frameworks and no libraries and I will explain every line of code as usual, because only when you fully understand the code can you modify and add your own features later if that's what you want to do.
