converts canvas image data to a 2d array of booleans
array=img2array(imagedata,width,height)
array[x][y] //gives true or false
very useful for games where you need pixel perfect collision.
Reading an image every time you check for collision is slow. Using a 2d array makes it much faster, and has a very simple syntax (array[x][y]) .

| function(a,w,h,i,j,l){ | |
| l=[]; //initiate array | |
| for(i=0;i<w;i++){ //loop through all x positions | |
| l[i]=[]; //make a new array | |
| for(j=0;j<h;j++) //loop through all y positions | |
| l[i][j]=a[j*w+i<<2]<128 //fill l[x][y] with boolean (with a black and white image, black is true, white is false) | |
| } | |
| return l //return the array | |
| } |

what if have real image data and want to convert it to a 2d array but fill it with data, not booleans?
