Awesome Text Transition Effect with Html5 Canvas and Javascript

Preview:

Description:

An awesome text transition effect made by whqet that animates a list of words using Html5 canvas element and a bit of Javascript. No CSS/CSS3 needed.

How to use it:

Create an empty canvas element on the web page.

<canvas id="canvas" width="1000" height="800"></canvas>

The Javascript. Replace the text array and customize the animations following the comments in the Javascript.
