This is a complete implementation of the arcade game Frogger, rendered as an interactive animation on an HTML5 Canvas. The player controls a character with arrow keys to navigate across lanes of moving enemies, earning points by reaching the top while managing a limited number of lives. The code uses the game loop in `engine.js` with `requestAnimationFrame` for smooth updates, and custom `Enemy` and `Player` classes handle movement, collision detection, and score/life tracking. Sprites are loaded via the `Resources` utility and drawn using the Canvas `drawImage` method.

todo

A simple game rendered on a Canvas element, controlled by clicking the window to launch a magenta square upward against gravity. Obstacles, rendered as green blocks, continuously scroll from right to left; the score increments every frame the player avoids them, and resets upon collision. The game loop uses a custom `d3.timer` to update physics and redraw the canvas, while a separate `div` element displays the score. The code applies basic geometry for collision detection and movement, with the D3.js library handling selection and layout conventions.

Snake Game

A classic Snake game rendered on an HTML5 Canvas, where a white snake moves continuously across a dark grid, controlled by arrow keys. Each time the snake consumes a randomly placed teal fruit, its score increments and its tail grows. The animation runs via `window.setInterval`, clearing and redrawing the canvas every 250 milliseconds using Canvas 2D API methods like `fillRect` and `clearRect`, with keyboard input handled through a `keydown` event listener.

Frog Face by Manasi

A friendly cartoon frog face fills the browser window, built entirely from layered SVG ellipses and circles rendered with React elements. The code uses ReactDOM to mount an `<svg>` that scales to the viewport, with all facial features positioned relative to the center. Green shapes form the head and eye bumps, white and black circles create the eyes, firebrick and green ellipses compose the mouth, and black ellipses serve as nostrils. The implementation relies on JSX and React's rendering API, with no external visualization libraries.

Frog Face Part I

A whimsical SVG of a frog face uses concentric green, white, and black circles to build the head and eyes. The code draws overlapping circles with varying radii and fill colors on a fixed 960 by 500 canvas, layering shapes to create the final character. This pure SVG example relies on direct element attributes rather than a JavaScript library.

Untitled

This visualization demonstrates a first-person raycasting engine rendered on an HTML canvas using the p5.js library. It shows a top-down map view alongside a player-controlled camera that casts rays to detect wall collisions, simulating a 3D perspective effect. The code uses p5.js functions like `fill`, `rect`, `circle`, and `line` for drawing, while the WebGL-accelerated canvas handles the animation loop. The scene features a grid-based maze with red player indicators and directional lines.

SCRIPT-8

This example uses SCRIPT-8, a JavaScript fantasy console for creating retro-style games and visualizations. It renders a colorful, animated scene directly to the canvas using the console’s built-in graphics API. The visualization draws sprites and map data from JSON files, with procedural animation driven by the `requestAnimationFrame` loop. SCRIPT-8’s `pixel` and `sprite` functions handle the drawing, while its input and sound APIs are loaded but unused, focusing purely on visual output. The cassette’s empty chains, songs, and phrases files confirm a minimal, self-contained demonstration of the platform’s rendering capabilities.

SCRIPT-8

SCRIPT-8 is a canvas-based game cassette that runs a simple interactive program written with the SCRIPT-8 engine. It renders a small scene using the engine’s built-in drawing commands and updates it each frame through its game loop. The code uses SCRIPT-8’s `tick` callback to handle input and time, and employs its `sprite` and `map` APIs to place graphics on the screen. The visible result shows a basic character or object moving in response to keyboard controls, with the entire experience contained in a single `code.js` file. No external libraries are used beyond the SCRIPT-8 runtime.

This example presents a full-screen, animated canvas of randomly colored square pixels that continuously redraws itself. It shows how a simple generative pattern can create a dynamic, shifting mosaic across the entire browser window. The code uses the Canvas 2D API with `fillRect` and `requestAnimationFrame` to refresh the display, while each frame assigns new random RGB values to every pixel block. The visualization responds to window resizing by updating the canvas dimensions, and it is rendered inside a draggable, resizable widget container.
