Project Documentation: Happy Birthday Project

Overview

This project is a web-based animation created using HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript. It generates a visually appealing "Happy Birthday" wish with dynamic elements such as fireworks, floating balloons, and colorful letters. The animation is designed to create a festive and celebratory atmosphere.

Deployment

The deployed version of this project is available here.

Files

index.html: The main HTML file that structures the document, includes the necessary meta tags, links to external stylesheets and scripts, and sets up the Canvas element.
style.css: The CSS file that provides styling for the HTML elements, including the Canvas positioning, font styles, and other visual properties.
app.js: The JavaScript file that contains the logic for generating the animated elements, such as letters, fireworks, and balloons. It utilizes the HTML5 Canvas API for drawing and animation.

HTML Structure

The HTML document follows a standard structure, including the DOCTYPE declaration, HTML, head, meta tags, title, and body. The main content is within the body, where the Canvas element is positioned.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <!-- Meta tags, title, and stylesheets -->
</head>
<body>
    <!-- Canvas element for animation -->
    <canvas id="c"></canvas>

    <!-- JavaScript file for animation logic -->
    <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

CSS Styles

The CSS file (style.css) is used to style the Canvas and other elements. Notable styles include positioning the Canvas element to cover the entire viewport, styling for the paragraphs, and links.

JavaScript Logic

The JavaScript file (app.js) contains the logic for animating the birthday wish. The key components are:

Letters

Each letter is represented as an object with properties such as position, color, and animation phase.
The animation includes a firework effect, contemplation, and the release of balloons.

Fireworks

Fireworks are simulated using lines drawn on the Canvas, creating an animated burst effect.

Balloons

Balloons are simulated by inflating and floating upwards, adding a dynamic and festive element to the animation.

Animation Loop

The anim() function serves as the main animation loop, continuously updating and redrawing the Canvas to create the dynamic effects.

Responsive Design

The project includes a responsive design that adjusts the Canvas size and positioning when the browser window is resized.

Usage

To view the animation, open the index.html file in a modern web browser.
