To celebrate an important event, I hastily cobbled together an HTML canvas-based animation.
A few concerns I have include:
- Performance: Does it run reasonably smoothly on most modern machines? How can I make it more efficient?
- Portability / Compatibility: Does it work correctly on all modern browsers (excluding old versions of Internet Explorer)?
- Modelling: Is this a good way to simulate fireworks? Is there anything I could do to enhance the realism?
While we normally don't say "thanks" on Stack Exchange questions, I'd like to break that rule right now and say a big Thank you! to all members of the Code Review community.
