I need a link how to do graphics and canvas

[wheretheidivides]

I have read the beginners tutorial 50 times and still can not figure out how to use the canvas. I can put up panels and on top of panels put up bitmaps. This led me to design a blackjack game. Now I want to do a real game like pac-man. I just need to figure out how to move a character on screen. In the old days, Id use Atari's player missile graphics. I even understand how pac-man was written (some guy has a complete breakdown), but now I just need to know step bu step how to put up a character, move it around and collision detection.
Thanks

I think this link can be helpful. In the attached code, I see background set and a sprite moving.
