How to do it…
This recipe is similar to the previous one. The recipe is as follows.
The HTML code:
<html> <head> <title>Demonstration of Gravity</title> <script src="Gravity.js"></script> </head> <body onload="init();"> <canvas id="MyCanvasArea" width="200" height="600" style="border:2px solid blue;" > your browser does not support canvas </canvas> <h1>Demonstration of Gravity</h1> </body> </html>
The JavaScript code:
var x = 0;
var y = 80;
var yEnd=600;
var goDown=true;
//same as prior recipe
....
....
function animate() {
//same as prior recipe
....
....
}
function updateLine()
{
if(y<yEnd && goDown)
{
y=acceleration*time*time;
time+=2;
}
if(y>=yEnd)
{
goDown=false;
...
