A javascript battle

[Drake7707]

I had some fun writing stuff in javascript, because I found my background too static: http://dwight.skyon....efault&p=Battle

 

As it turns out, jquery sucks in terms of performance.

Yea seems like the jquery animations are causing some slow downs (try "jQuery.fx.off = true" in the console)

 

Have you tried using

bla();
function bla()
{
   try
   {
       // ...    
   }
   finally
   {
       setTimeout(bla, 25);
   }
}

 

instead of setInterval?

 

Canvas would probably speed things up too

Well I removed most of the jquery, in particular the .css() to set the div's position etc and swapped to standard javascript setAttribute it ran 100 times faster, so yeah, don't use jquery about 1000 times each 25ms
