#42In Firefox, I'm getting ~500ms GC pauses every few seconds which make it pretty difficult to play. It works fine in Chromium, though. Edit: Firefox 122.0 on aarch64 (fedora asahi)
By the way, here's my simplified/annotated version of the code https://gist.github.com/DavidBuchanan314/13f4c4e8d9573108ff9...

#43Pretty fun until i found out that just holding UP ensures easy statistical progress, made it to level 9 in 3 minutes.
Yeah, I made it to level 150 in 3 minutes, and I can still keep going. If I play the legitimate way, the game becomes impossible at level 20.

#44Got to 45 level, just by pressing arrow up for 15 minutes. There is no penalty for loosing a life, so - it's not a game per se, as you can't lose.

#45The fact that it consumes 145MB or RAM (firefox) is quite impressive too!

Looks like the lag can be fixed by only updating b.innerText once per frame. This seems like a ff bug to be honest, but it appears that rapidly updating the size of innerText is the culprit.

#47For fun you should also release it as an Electron app, without even a hint of irony.

Wow. Impressively, ShaderToys → Sierpinski Towers crashes Firefox completely!

#50Since this respawns really fast and there's no life limit, I wanted to see how far I could get through the mere persistence strategy of holding the up key. I automated this with an ethernet crimping tool whose weight and shape is ideal for pressing it down. After about 40 minutes it's at level 38
