## 🚀 Quick Start

### Option 1: View Demos in Browser
Open `canvas_demos.html` in your browser for an interactive experience with simulated Nyash functionality.

### Option 2: Run with WASM (Future)
```bash
# Build WASM package
cd projects/nyash-wasm
./build.sh

# Start local server
python3 -m http.server 8000

# Open demos
open http://localhost:8000/canvas_demos.html
```

## 📦 Box Architecture

### Core Canvas Boxes
- **`WebCanvasBox`**: HTML5 Canvas drawing operations
- **`CanvasEventBox`**: Mouse, touch, and keyboard input
- **`CanvasLoopBox`**: Animation frame management
- **`TimerBox`**: setTimeout/setInterval/requestAnimationFrame

### Advanced Boxes
- **`AudioBox`**: Audio synthesis and analysis
- **`QRBox`**: QR code generation and scanning
- **`RandomBox`**: Random number generation, probability

## 🎨 Technical Highlights

### Everything is Box Philosophy
```nyash
// Each component is a unified Box with consistent interface
local canvas, events, timer, audio, qr
canvas = new WebCanvasBox("my-canvas", 800, 600)
events = new CanvasEventBox("my-canvas")
timer = new TimerBox()
audio = new AudioBox()
qr = new QRBox()

// All operations follow the same Box patterns
canvas.fillCircle(x, y, radius, color)
events.onMouseClick(callback)
timer.setTimeout(callback, delay)
audio.createTone(440, 1000)
qr.generate("Hello World")
```

### Advanced Features Demonstrated
- **Real-time Animation:** 60fps game loops with delta timing
- **Physics Simulation:** Gravity, friction, collision detection
- **Audio Processing:** FFT analysis, waveform visualization
- **Color Science:** HSL color space, harmony algorithms
- **Data Visualization:** Real-time charts with multiple formats
- **Game Development:** Complete game mechanics and UI
- **Multi-user Systems:** Collaborative editing and presence
- **Professional UI:** Modern design patterns and interactions

### Performance Optimizations
- Efficient particle system updates
- Canvas drawing batching
- Memory-conscious object pooling
