simple HTML5 animation: clouds over background

If you are reading this text, sorry, your browser don’t support HTML5 Canvas (or maybe I did something wrong).

Code:

var canvas;
var ctx;

var background;
var width = 300;
var height = 200;

var cloud;
var cloud_x;

function init() {
	canvas = document.getElementById("cloud_demo_canvas");
	width = canvas.width;
	height = canvas.height;
	ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
	
	// init background 
	background = new Image();
	background.src = 'http://silveiraneto.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/forest.png';
	
	// init cloud
	cloud = new Image();
	cloud.src = 'http://silveiraneto.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/cloud.png';
	cloud.onload = function(){
		cloud_x = -cloud.width;
	};
	
	return setInterval(main_loop, 10);
}

function update(){
	cloud_x += 0.3;
	if (cloud_x > width ) {
		cloud_x = -cloud.width;
	}
}

function draw() {
	ctx.drawImage(background,0,0);
	ctx.drawImage(cloud, cloud_x, 0);
}

function main_loop() {
	draw();
	update();
}

init();

Alternative text if browser don't support canvas.
