A good javascript books (graphics programming)?

MStepansky

Any ideas of some of the good Javascript books that involves graphics
programming:

- to be able to move the images pixelwisely.

- to be able to grab an image and move it around on screen (on top of other
images behind it) and drop it.

- to be able to scroll the window pixelwisely, horizontally or vertically.

-to be able to move image including alpha channel (layers)

-to be able to plot a small image anywhere in a window (using existing image
file as small as a point or ball looking image)

-to be able to make a sound effects (plug in?)
-to be able to collision detection if two or more images bump into other
images.
-to be able to use keyboard arrows to move the image (ie. Pacman) around the
maze.
-to be able to do whatever graphics interactive that I can learn in javascript
(not JAVA, too complicated)

*Part* of what you want to learn involves CSS (moving images around)
a good css tutorial can be found at www.w3schools.com
but I just don't know about your image pixel manipulation - that sounds like
its too much for javascript.

Try

What you describe (moving stuff around) is mainly DHTML and CSS, and
this book is the dog's bollocks for that. You will be using javascript
to manipulate the CSS style attributes of HTML elements, so it's not
really the intricacies of the javascript object model etc that you'll be
interested in.

It also contains a Javascript reference chapter which is quite good
enough to get you doing what you want.

Good Javascript Books?

by: DAB sounds worse than FM | last post by:

Could anybody recommend a good Javascript book? I have an okay knowledge of HTML, and can program in C/C++, but I have no knowledge of Javascript. I've had a look at 'Beginning JavaScript': http://tinyurl.com/4v8eh, but it seems to be a bit wordy and assumes no prior knowledge of programming. Preferably, I'd like a book that's easy to read but not overly long, and I'd prefer it to be pretty cheap.
