I hope you're pretty good at math. Either way you can get quite a bit done using existing JavaScript/Canvas libraries like these two:

Paper.js — Examples

Raphaël—JavaScript Library

They have a lot of automation in them. Take a good look at some of their examples (especially paper) and notice how rather simple the source code is. YMMV but this kind of thing is a very simple thing to do in Flash, however I expect you'll want it to work on mobile devices, so expect a bit of an uphill learning curve.
