Learn how to implement pixel effects using JavaScript. Make your website come to life with interactive animated logos or headers, or just practice fundamental JavaScript coding techniques with me on these fun examples. In this tutorial we will go from basics to advanced and create multiple different pixel effects with vanilla JavaScript and HTML canvas. The tutorial starts with a simple beginner friendly project, where we analyze image for pixel data and use it to color shift the image and turn it into grayscale. Then we use that basic knowledge in a powerful way to create many different advanced animations with vanilla JavaScript and HTML canvas, completely from scratch. -- Code -- -Project 1 Smoke: https://codepen.io/franksLaboratory/details/ZEprPKx -Project 2 Rainbow: https://codepen.io/franksLaboratory/pen/MWjBPgB -Project 3 Fire: https://codepen.io/franksLaboratory/pen/XWjBPOx -Project 4 Particle text with liquid filter applied: https://codepen.io/franksLaboratory/pen/VwKEeqR

You are gonna get a cross origin error if you are viewing your page on an offline server, so host your server online, you can easily do this with the online server package of visual studio code. Also, if you want to get an image from another server, which you are sure that allows you to actually take the image, for example, google drive, drop box or other sites like those, then you probably should write image.crossOrigin = -Anonymous- or else you may get the cross origin error.

Great Tutorial, 14:19 but this line ((scannedImage.data = scannedData;)) seems not to change anything because I tried to console both scannedImage and scannedImage.data, and they have the same value without using that line. I think it is referencing the scannedImage.data in the loop.
Please let me know if I am wrong.

I'll pause to comment. The level of explanation is perfect for me. It gives you the advanced and difficult parts like you mention, but being reminded of the basics as I process everything really helps to tie things together because it triggers already existing knowledge and bring those to awaremess.

I was looking at a vid in franks lab about pixel effects and came across one from codecamp with the same spiderman and 007 images...there had to be an explanation. Frank would never just rip off content. So I clicked and saw his bald head in the corner.

for particles speed in -Connect particle movement to pixel data-, a better formula for movement is this.velocity - (1 - this.speed/255)--n.
when n = 0+
255 is 'cause the max value of brightness is 255

requestAnimationFrame is not recursive since it passes a reference to itself to another which does not call the function directly but adds it to an event listener for the next frame/draw call.

thanks for everything! . I really pass from beginner to advance(well, i can say that i have an advance level, but i learn how to do some crazy stuff) thank you so much!

Really, really great tutorial. Never ventured into canvas, but with your explanations, it made perfect sense. I definitely have new tools to play with now! Thanks!

Love how you made it look like a fire burning FX at 1:03:44
EDIT. ok as soon as i commented you said it yourself :) well goes to show you're already there

Why aren't you using forEach loops instead? I think they are easier for people to understand, is there any reason not to use forEach loops?
