Wouldn't it be crazy if there was a snow storm that had so many flakes, the gravitational constant was reduced because of the extra time it took to render them all?

The excellent performance characteristics of the natural world may indeed be the best rebuttal of the popular theory that we live in a computer simulation!

Good simulations have constant time step and may not run in real time. From inside such simulation, you would never know.

I wish they would have called the reset function confetti.resetti()

This being Javascript, you can at least fix this locally with a simple "confetti.resetti = confetti.reset".

There are some software engineering costs to this approach, but, as is transparently obvious to all thoughtful observers, the benefits massively outweigh them, so I say go for it.
