Learning about browser Canvas API by creating a simple 2D game

<canvas>

<canvas> elements can be used in one of two ways: the simpler Canvas API or the more involved WebGL API.

• Canvas API seems similar to other drawing libraries (turtle) in which you specify points, paths, and rectangles with pen up/down, stroke, and fill.
• OpenGL was an entirely different beast - the necessity of OpenGL libraries like 3js quickly became apparant.

I will try it next, but experimenting with the built-in Canvas API seemed like a good idea to get my feet wet.

This is following the Chris Course tutorial on Udemy. However, since I work ahead when I can anticipate what needs to get done next, my code is slightly different.
