Share your memorable April fools' day experience. I would have started with mine, but unfortunately, I dont have any (yet)

pcguru1:
Flash Graphics API and Canvas API are somewhat similar except Flash has more advanced features like filters and much, doing a frame isn't actually something that should be complicated, because you would have prepared an Image with a cut out zone where you want the uploaded image to fit.

However when rendering on Canvas, you need to know that you have an imaginary stack level. meaning it's like an artisit painting over a picture, so you draw the image first and draw the frame later so that the frame sits on top of the image.

Look at this book Friends with Eds though it's in Flash but you can transform the logic in JavaScript i read it when i attempted Game Programming so am familiar with how Computer draws.

My Advice, don't build a Canvas framework from scratch you don't have that luxury go with EaselJS and you can add plugins to it for your own special use-cases.

Infact Flash Graphics/Java Graphics/HTML Canvas/ and maybe C++ GDI kinda are similar so i think you should conceptualize the whole process. As in break it down write an algorithm on how it will work, then break the application into Modules, each Module handling a major part that way it will be easier to build the small small and see how it pans out.

So oga, if you are to build something like this, would you go with flash or Javascipt libraries? What would be the reason(s) for your choice?

A lot depends on whether you are learning it solely for the financial benefit it might bring, I suppose
