    Enjoyable and informative as usual. The only problem I have is that my drawing operations seem to be in the wrong order - the first branch is stacked above the child branches which are stacked above their child branches. So detail (specifically shadow detail) is lost. I cant get my head around why the first branch isnt drawn first. Anyhow if you have any suggestions I would be grateful. Keep up the good work.

    @@Frankslaboratory No I don't find it hard to to follow (except I make alot of spelling mistakes like "filrect" instead of "fillRect" etc. which take me a long time to correct because while VSCode has good autocomplete, It also doesn't flag "errors" like spelling "fillRect" wrong.) but then I cut my teeth on JavaScript with one of your other creative graphix videos. Right now I'm coding along to the video( making spirals right now), about half way thru, 'cuz I'm taking a long time to tweak the variables 'n stuff. There's a big box of goodies inside ctx. What I meant by my comment is that there's so much you can do with "simple" 2D graphix.

    It is confusing at first, basically 'this' means the object you are inside of. I would recommend doing a complete beginner friendly object oriented JavaScript course, before diving into more complex projects like this one.
