That's the only way it is going to work. 

Okay. Here is my rant:

Canvas is a feature in HTML 5. Most browsers will be able to play it. The new internet explorer 9 can play HTML 5. Wii Internet is Opera Based, so should be able to play it soon enough. DS as well. iPhone, iPods, iPads can all play it. We do not need jQuery, it is almost useless in a canvas. For those of you who don't know, a canvas is a box embedded in your html document which is controlled completely by JavaScript. (Reminds me of a flash embed or a java applet.) We also do not need a separate canvas for each sprite.

JD1, what are you talking about using HTML 4 for this? There is no canvas in HTML 4. You aren't proposing we have each sprite as an image and using JavaScript to control it's style attribute? That is a pain staking and nonprofessional way to do this.

UPDATE: Use PHP to create images? Hmm.
Pros: Faster to draw an image from a file to a canvas.
Cons: We have to save them to a server.

Hows progress everyone??

you know, we're going to run into a brick wall soon. JS can't run functions in parallel. No idea how to fix this.

Fine use the HTML 5 for canvas and nothing else!!

Also can any1 explain how This works (does it use canvas)

sorry. I can't help I don't understand the output. JD1, wethe mystical journey thing doesn't use canvas I don't think. I think that might actually be <img> tags who's positions are controlled by javascript. (That is possible but hard.)

Perhaps we could stick to the original idea and use a seperate canvas?

Because you just reset all our work otherwise.

okay, forget I said anything. But if we do canvas then I think we've made the coolest canvas project on the web so far.

hm okay. Let's go. What should I do? Are we doing multiple canvas for sprites, moving image tags, or what?

I have a way round that.

Scratch doesn't run things in parallel.

It runs one block from each script at before it moves onto the next block.
If you have 3 scripts:
Script    Block
1           1
2           1
3           1
1           2
2           2
3           2
etc
