Canvasser Documentation
This week I had the opportunity to meet with Tate to talk about documenting Canvasser so that people can easily learn how to use it. It is a difficult task since the program is full of knacks that make it tough to use and learn. We decided that the best way would be to create a BIG interactive, the father of all other interactives. In here we would bit by bit explain how to use every part of Canvasser, from particles to drag and drop. Then we actually opened Canvasser and we scratched that idea completely. We realized that Canvasser already has a learn and a samples sections and that the best way to learn Canvasser would be to use it. The problem is that some of the tutorials are not even complete. Some of the samples don’t show any process either. We would need to go back and fill things like that in and hopefully after that Canvasser can truly be a one stop shop for making HTML 5 animations. I feel like it will be fun to learn a little about how Canvasser was made in the process.
