I don't understand why the infinite loop does not work but uncommenting the function call works.
<body>
<canvas id="myCanvas"style="border:2px solid black;" width="1600" height="900">
Your browser does not support the HTML5 canvas tag.
</canvas>
<script>
var c = document.getElementById ("myCanvas").getContext ("2d");
var boxSize = 25;
var numBoxes = 1;
var x = 1000;
var dx = 1;
var y = 100;
var dy = 1;
var a = 0.01;
var da = 0.1;
var size = 20;
var w = c.canvas.width;
var h = c.canvas.height;
//function testing () {
while (true) {
c.clearRect (0, 0, w, h);
x = x + 1;
y = y + 1;
a = a + 0.1;
x = x + dx;
y = y + dy;
if (x < size / 2 || x + (size / 2) > w) {
dx = -dx;
da = -da;
}
if (y < size / 2 || y + (size / 2) > h) {
dy = -dy;
da = -da;
}
c.save ();
c.translate (x, y);
c.rotate (a);
c.strokeRect (-size / 2, -size / 2, size, size);
c.restore ();
}
// testing ();
// setInterval (testing, 10);
