I dont know how to register click event on each rectangle.
here is the sample:
http://jsfiddle.net/9WWqG/1/
You're basically going to have to track where your rectangles are on the canvas, then set up an event listener on the canvas itself. From there you can take the coordinates of the click event and go through all your rectangles to test for 'collisions'.
Here's an example of doing just that: http://jsfiddle.net/9WWqG/2/
html:
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="300" height="150"></canvas>
javascript:
// get canvas element.
var elem = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
function collides(rects, x, y) {
var isCollision = false;
for (var i = 0, len = rects.length; i < len; i++) {
var left = rects[i].x, right = rects[i].x+rects[i].w;
var top = rects[i].y, bottom = rects[i].y+rects[i].h;
if (right >= x
&& left <= x
&& bottom >= y
&& top <= y) {
isCollision = rects[i];
}
}
return isCollision;
}
// check if context exist
if (elem && elem.getContext) {
// list of rectangles to render
var rects = [{x: 0, y: 0, w: 50, h: 50},
{x: 75, y: 0, w: 50, h: 50}];
// get context
var context = elem.getContext('2d');
if (context) {
for (var i = 0, len = rects.length; i < len; i++) {
context.fillRect(rects[i].x, rects[i].y, rects[i].w, rects[i].h);
}
}
// listener, using W3C style for example
elem.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
console.log('click: ' + e.offsetX + '/' + e.offsetY);
var rect = collides(rects, e.offsetX, e.offsetY);
if (rect) {
console.log('collision: ' + rect.x + '/' + rect.y);
} else {
console.log('no collision');
}
}, false);
}
This is an old question but what was once hard to do when it was posted is now much easier.
There are many libraries that keep track of the position of your objects that were drawn on canvas and handle all of the complexities of handling mouse interactions. See EaselJS,
KineticJS,
Paper.js or
Fabric.js and this comparison of canvas libraries for more.
You can also take a different approach and use
Raphaël and gRaphaël
to have a solution that uses SVG and VML instead of canvas and works even on IE6.
Your example changed to use Raphaël would look like this:
var r = Raphael(0, 0, 300, 150);
r.rect(0, 0, 50, 50)
.attr({fill: "#000"})
.click(function () {
alert('first rectangle clicked');
});
r.rect(75, 0, 50, 50)
.attr({fill: "#000"})
.click(function () {
alert('second rectangle clicked');
});
See DEMO.
Update 2015
You may also be able to use ART, a retained mode vector drawing API for HTML5 canvas - see this answer for more info.
I found a way to make this work in mozilla using the clientX,clientY instead of offsetX/offsetY.
Also, if your canvas extends beyond the innerHeight, and uses the scroll, add the window.pageYOffset to the e.clientY. Goes the same way, if your canvas extends beyond the width.
Another example is at my github: https://github.com/michaelBenin/fi-test

I'm trying to create a two-dimensional board game with canvas for practice.
The goal is to have a game with only html, javascript and php.
I made a first canvas which takes up the entire board.
Currently my second canvas, contains a round pawn which moves as well as a clipping done with the clip () method.
My problem concerns the second canvas. I would like to be able to ensure that my clipping follows the position of the pawn.
But I can't move the clipping so it stays in the same place causing my pawn to appear and then disappear.
Could you tell me how to move this clipping please?
Thank you in advance.

My understanding is the image file has to be set to display: none; and then the image needs to be re-drawn using the javascript commands but I'm not sure if this image is compatible or not. When finished I want the image on a white background.
By way of an example the end design needs to resemble this - Logo particle design
Particle positions from bitmap.
To get the FX you want you need to create a particle system. This is just an array of objects, each with a position, the position where they want to be (Home), a vector defining their current movement, and the colour.
You get each particle's home position and colour by reading pixels from the image. You can access pixel data by rendering an image on a canvas and the using ctx.getImageData to get the pixel data (Note image must be on same domain or have CORS headers to access pixel data). As you read each pixel in turn, if not transparent, create a particle for that pixel and set it colour and home position from the pixels colour and position.
Use requestAnimationFrame to call a render function that every frame iterates all the particles moving them by some set of rules that give you the motion you are after. Once you have move each particle, render them to the canvas using simple shapes eg fillRect
Mouse interaction
To have interaction with the mouse you will need to use mouse move events to keep track of the mouse position relative to the canvas you are rendering to. As you update each particle you also check how far it is from the mouse. You can then push or pull the particle from or to the mouse (depending on the effect you want.
Rendering speed will limit the particle count.
The only issue with these types of FX is that you will be pushing the rendering speed limits as the particle count goes up. What may work well on one machine, will run very slow on another.
To avoid being too slow, and not looking good on some machines you should consider keeping an eye on the frame rate and reducing the particle count if it runs slow. To compensate you can increase the particle size or even reduce the canvas resolution.
The bottleneck is the actual rendering of each particle. When you get to large numbers the path methods really grinds down. If you want really high numbers you will have to render pixels directly to the bitmap, using the same method as reading but in reverse of course.
Example simple particles read from bitmap.
The example below uses text rendered to a canvas to create the particles, and to use an image you would just draw the image rather than the text. The example is a bit overkill as I ripped it from an old answer of mine. It is just as an example of the various ways to get stuff done.

Use png saved as PNG-8 and and allow cross-origin
I saw the cool article from Bricks and mortar and thought I'd try it out.
I battled with it for an eternity, thinking that my js was wrong... Turns out that the image has to be saved as a PNG-8 without dither instead of a PNG-24.
Then make sure that you add the crossOrigin="Anonymous" attribute to the image tag:
<img crossOrigin="Anonymous" id="img" src="[link to wherever you host the image]" alt="logo">
I also hid the reference canvas by adding the following styles:
canvas#canvas-reference {
display: none;
}
I also added a debounce and resize function, so it's responsive.
The result:
See Demo with inverted logo
Ultimately I like to know which object was being clicked in a canvas, and I wrote the script:
dist.push(Math.abs(x-ball1.x-88.5) + Math.abs(y-ball1.y-110));
dist.push(Math.abs(x-ball2.x-88.5) + Math.abs(y-ball2.y-110));
dist.push(Math.abs(x-ball3.x-88.5) + Math.abs(y-ball3.y-110));
function sortNumber(a,b) {
return a - b;
}
dist.sort(sortNumber);
Obviously this only give me the sort of the number but I need it to connect with ball1, ball2, and ball3. I figure I could nest an array for this but I haven't figured out the logic...
Or perhaps my approach was wrong to begin with?
P.S., obviously if I only have three balls I can do this:
var b1d = Math.abs(x-ball1.x-88.5) + Math.abs(y-ball1.y-110);
var b2d = Math.abs(x-ball1.x-88.5) + Math.abs(y-ball1.y-110);
var b3d = Math.abs(x-ball1.x-88.5) + Math.abs(y-ball1.y-110);

But if I have hundreds of balls this probably isn't the best way...
How you search depends on what you do with the balls, and how you place them.
Here a simple example that you can click a ball and bring it in the foreground.
We create 200 balls.
To find the correct ball we start searching in an one time sorted array, based on the z-index of the ball (from the balls on the back to the balls on the frond), as you can not click the balls on the back, we search starting from the last element of the array.
In this example, this is a good solution, but in your applications it may not be, it depends on many things, like if the balls overlap, or if the possition is not random.
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var getRandomColor = function() {
// Code from : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1484506/random-color-generator-in-javascript
var letters = '0123456789ABCDEF';
var color = '#';
for (var i = 0; i < 6; i++ ) {
color += letters[Math.floor(Math.random() * 16)];
}
return color;
}
var createRandomBall = function(){
// The ball object
var ball = {};
// Random radius (min 5 max 30)
ball.radius = Math.floor((Math.random() * 25) + 5);
ball.radius2 = Math.pow(ball.radius, 2);
// Random x position
ball.x = Math.floor((Math.random() * (canvas.width - ball.radius*2)) + ball.radius);
// Random y position
ball.y = Math.floor((Math.random() * (canvas.height - ball.radius*2)) + ball.radius);
// Random color
ball.color = getRandomColor();
return ball;
}
// Create many balls
var ballList = [];
var tmp_ball;
for (var i = 0; i < 200; i++) {
// Make a random ball

// Add to the list

context.stroke();
}
}

// we search the array from the back,
// because on the back balls are over the frond balls
for (var i = ballList.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {

ball = i;
break;
}
}
// If no ball found return
if(ball == null){
console.log("No ball clicked");
return;

A general solution is to make a map table, a grid of your canvas, and on each cell add the corresponding balls, so that you can match in which grid box the click was made and check a smaller group of balls.
So for example, lets say that you want when you click, all the balls under the click to change color. Here is an example with mapping the balls on smaller groups, we make a grid of 10 columns and 5 lines. Each ball may be in more than 1 group. We create 400 balls.
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');

}
return color;
}

var gridList = [];
// Rows
for (var i = 0; i < gridSize.y; i++) {
gridList.push([]);
// Columns
for (var j = 0; j < gridSize.x; j++) {
gridList[i].push([]);
}
}
var createRandomBall = function(){
// The ball object
var ball = {};
// Random radius (min 5 max 30)
ball.radius = Math.floor((Math.random() * 25) + 5);
ball.radius2 = Math.pow(ball.radius, 2);
// Random x position
ball.x = Math.floor((Math.random() * (canvas.width - ball.radius*2)) + ball.radius);
// Random y position
ball.y = Math.floor((Math.random() * (canvas.height - ball.radius*2)) + ball.radius);
// Random color
ball.color = getRandomColor();
// Map ball - find cells that the circle overlap
grid = {
x : {
min : Math.floor((ball.x - ball.radius)*gridSize.x/canvas.width),

I've been trying to put together a simple maze game using HTML5 and Javascript. I can successfully load the HTML and CSS content onto the page, but no matter what I try, I can't get the JS to load. It's definitely saved as a .html file and i've only been using Sublime text to put it together (but I wouldn't have thought that would have an affect anyway). Just a bit stumped really, so I thought it must be something I've missed in my code. I wasn't sure if I've missed something?

There are lots of errors in this code. For example, in this section alone:
(commented where some issues are)
function drawFrame() {
if (dx != 0 || dy != 0) {
context.beginPath();
context.fillStyle = "rgb(254,244,207)";
context.rect(x, y, 15, 15);
context.fill // Missing parentheses and semicolon
x += dx;
y += dy;
if (checkForCollision()) {
(dx/y = 0) // Equivalent to { dx / (y = 0) }
x -= dx; // which both serves no purpose and divides by zero
y -= dy;
dx = 0;
dy = 0;
}
//Now we can finally draw the sprite!
var imgSprite = document.getElementById("sprite");
context.drawImage(imgSprite, x, y);
if (y > (canvas.height - 17)) {
alert("Congratulations! You made it!");
return;
}
}
timer = setTimeout(drawFrame, 10); // timer is not defined anywhere
// also you are calling the function within itself
// with no end condition, so it's an infinite loop
}
And on line 48:
setTimeout("drawFrame()", 10);
You should be passing the function as just the function identifier, not as a string. As such:
setTimeout(drawFrame, 10);
These are just a few. There are also some logical errors, variables that are defined but never used, and more. In its current state this will not compile.
Also, if only just for clarity's sake, try to define a script type instead of just leaving the tag empty, like:
<script type="text/javascript">
// Some JS
</script>
It can be hard when you've been staring at code for hours, but it helps to give each section a slow read-through and think about exactly what the code is doing. You can avoid lots of syntactical and logical errors this way.
I also recommend using a text editor or online interface (JS Bin, JSfiddle, etc.) that has JShint/lint or some kind of code-checking functionality. You can even use http://www.javascriptlint.com/online_lint.php and paste your whole code in there.
