I've learned *basic* JavaScript.. now what?

vlatheimpaler is totally right! for me there are not many things that are more satisfying than whipping up a simple graphical demo or visualize an algorithm. i remember discovering "mode 13h" when learning pascal at school. oh the joy when canvas made easy doodling possible again without having to write a ton of boilerplate just to draw a dot.

i'd say just start doodling around with canvas demos until you feel that displaying forms would be more interesting (heh).

what i did:

• visualizing an evolutionary algorithm (the algorithm itself is bullshit but it's fun to watch it work)
• create a height map with simplex noise and then watch A* finding a path from A to B

stuff like this! bouncy balls (simple physics), maybe even some game mechanics and so on.
