Questions about canvas

What is HTML canvas?

A <canvas> element gives JavaScript a surface to draw shapes, images and pixels on. The 2D version is simple and fast; the same element also hosts WebGL for 3D. Projects tagged html5-canvas are listed here too.

Why do so many browser games use canvas?

It skips the page layout machinery entirely: you clear the screen, draw the next frame and repeat sixty times a second, which is exactly what a game loop wants.

Do these work without a mouse?

Some are keyboard-driven, some are touch-friendly and some are just to watch. If a project ignores your keys, click inside it first to give it focus.
