Canvas Grid

Canvas Grid is what you were looking for if you dont like messing with UI very much. With it you can mess around with your data matrix and let Canvas Grid handle the UI representation of it.

Demos

First Demo: random cell is red

Second Demo: cell movving in random directions

Getting Started

Include Canvas Grid and Watch.js:

	<script src="js/watch.js"></script>
	<script src="js/canvas-grid.js"></script>

Have a canvas in your html:

	<canvas id="myCanvas" width="400" height="500"></canvas>

Then you initialize your data matrix with colors:

var grid = [
	['black', 'grey', 'blue'],
	['#f00', '#0f0', '#00f'],
	['rgb(0,255,255)', 'rgb(255,0,255)', 'rgb(255,255,0)'],
];

Then wire it up:

canvasGrid("myCanvas", grid);

Now you can update your matrix, and Canvas Grid will update your canvas:

grid[0][0] = 'purple';
