want to style the all dots of pre built html canvas background

The code is different, I apologize may I didn't ask the question the right way, you can understand well in principle, When I'm hovering the dots get colours and connect to each other, other dots are invisible, I want that all dots should be visible all time. live example available on codepen, https://codepen.io/tati420/pen/RwBamQo?editors=1111

If I understand your question correctly, you just want to make sure that every point.active = 1 and point.circle.active = 1:
function animate() {
if (animateHeader) {
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, width, height);
for (var i in points) {
points[i].active = 1;
points[i].circle.active = 1;
drawLines(points[i]);
points[i].circle.draw();
}
}
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
}

How do i move the "interaction" with the "blob" in this animated blob?

I downloaded this javascript blob graphic, I've added it to my page, and moved it to the right using CSS, But when I move the mouse to interact with the blob, it still thinks the blob is in the middle of the screen. How do I move the interaction to the right with the blob?

</div>
If you run the code snippet, you can see that the blob still thinks its in the middle of the canvas when it's actually where its supposed to be on the right.
I'm struggling to see how I can move the interaction across with the blob?
Anyone help?

seems like it was pretty easy you just have to play with the position function in your JavaScript, First remove your CSS completely because it is unnecessary and find this particular line on your JavaScript and change the X axis position if you want to move the blob horizontally and Y axis if you want vertical movement
get position() {
return this._position || { x: 0.8, y: 0.5 };
}
by default it was x:0.5 which means center so I changed it to 0.8 slight movement towards right side. hope this helps

Scrollable board for HTML5 GAME should use SVG's or Canvas

I wish to create a simple webgame that involves a tiled board. I have a collection of svg's for the background of each square (i.e one for grass, one for stone, one for dirt etc). I also have svg's for items that will be displayed on the layer above the background (such as trees, wood, sword).
I have an in memory database of what the background for each square is and if and which item it contains.
I wish to be able to:
* Zoom in or out
* Scroll left or right
* Scolll up or down
* Have items displayed above the background for that square
Only needs to work in recent versions of modern browsers
What is the best approach for this:
1. Have a canvas object. Get the current zoom, top most XY, canvas width and canvas height. Loop though the squares in the in memory database and print the corresponding SVG's in the correct locations. Each time it is scrolled or zoomed reprint the entire board.
2. Have a div. Get the current zoom, top most XY, canvas width and canvas height. Loop though the squares in the in memory database and create SVG's in the correct locations.
Each time the board scrolls add new SVGs as they become visible, delete SVGs as they move of the board. Translate all the existing SVGs by the appropriate amount.
Each time the board zooms enlarge or shrink all the existing SVGs based on the new zoom level.
3. Some third approach that I am unaware of.

The example below uses two modules svg to load images (Any image format will work) & board which handles panning, zooming & rendering. It also provides an onClick event which will give you an object that describes the tile that has been clicked on.

how to fill particles inside rectangle?

I'm looking to draw a rectangle basically text but just for clearing insight I'm working it with rectangle with small particles inside rectangle the basic I idea I got from https://yalantis.com/ but in my attempt I'm stuck here with solid filled rectangle with a color I have specified for particles.

I see you have not found what you are looking for yet. Below is something quick to get you on your way. There is a whole range of stuff being used from canvas,mouse,particles, etc most of which is without comments. There is no load balancing or compliance testing and because it uses babel to be compatible with IE11 I have no clue how it runs on those browsers.
I will add to this answer some other time but for now I am a little over it.

well after all the attempts like hell I finally got my answer thanks to moáois answer to my post using particle slider. here is the code. Thanks everyone for your help :)

Draw random coloured circles on canvas

I am trying to create a animation where circles run from right to left. The circles' colours are selected randomly by a function. I have created a fiddle where one circle runs from right to left. Now my function creates a random colour. This function is executed every second and the circle changes its colour every second, instead of a new circle with the random picked colour become created. How can I change it so that it draws a new circle every second on the canvas and doesn't only change the colour of the circle?
This is my function:
function getRandomElement(array) {
if (array.length == 0) {
return undefined;
}
return array[Math.floor(Math.random() * array.length)];
}
var circles = [
'#FFFF00',
'#FF0000',
'#0000FF'
];
function drawcircles() {
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(ballx * 108, canvasHeight / 2, x*5, 0, 2*Math.PI, false);
ctx.fillStyle = getRandomElement(circles);
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath;
}

Comments on your question:
You are changing the color of the fillStyle to a random color at each frame. This is the reason why it keeps "changing" color. Set it to the color of the circle:
context.fillStyle = circle.color;
make circles with x, y, diameter, bounciness, speed, and color using an array
draw and update them with requestAnimationFrame (mine is a custom function)
My answer:
I made this just last night, where some circles follow the cursor and "bounce" off the edges of the screen. I tested the code and it works.
I might post a link later, but here is all of the code right now...
