Oh please no, we barely got rid of the target attribute /:

That's supernice!

You may want to fix the links in the readme though.

Uh, from the downvotes I gather that was inappropriate. Sorry; I'm completely new to HN.

Anyway the backstory is that me and jayniz used to work together, and he usually adds a gif to each of his readme files.

Oh you! Can you suggest a gif? ^^

Nice lib!

I was thinking of libifying my thingy, in a quite minimalistic way (at a minumum, the user would just pass two functions, one "update" and one "draw", which would receive a the current frame and, in the first case, the delta time).

This way you could just get freaky with the canvas effects and composing capabilities and stop caring about the low-level stuff.

I see you know your way around building nice, clean APIs; could you suggest me article/book about it? I'm kind of a newbie to that sort of things.

Wow, I was sure they implemented requestAnimationFrame already!

Anyway, I limited myself to trying out the various vendors' prefixes; this being mainly an experiment/preview I'd rather keep the code clean than support non-cutting-edge browsers.

I'll update the paragraph about the compatibility though; thanks for the heads up!

Lol, look at the commit history for the pages branch - the JS didn't change since submission ^^

I'm afraid it depends on the browser implementation. It works fine on Chrome 12 odd on linux, with all hardware accelerations activated under chrome://flags/
