> the idea of me making a fun mess around project to learn web today literally gives me anxiety, hell even using sqarespace is an unrewarding utilized journey. I think vanilla javascript isn't too hard, but it is kind of hard to find easy and fun onramps to it. This reference is what recently inspired me to do some things in vanilla javascript: https://htmldom.dev github search came up with this which reminds me of retro DHTML sites: https://github.com/Vishal-raj-1/Awesome-JavaScript-Projects There seem to be a number of interesting things on github, e.g.: https://github.com/bradtraversy/vanillawebprojects https://github.com/snipcart/learn-vanilla-js

The function `requestAnimationFrame(update)` on line 191 [1], typically updates at 60 frames per second [2]. When it fires, it re-calls the `update()` function starting on line 184 [3]. As you say though, it's not 100% reliable in terms of speed, but I imagine 90%+ who play the game get a good experience. [1] https://github.com/bradtraversy/vanillawebprojects/blob/mast...

Quick / dumb question : in the breakout game example (https://github.com/bradtraversy/vanillawebprojects/blob/mast...) wouldn't the game feel fast/slow depending on the power of your computer since the physics loop does not make use of the elapsed time between updates ?
