Oh heck, there goes my next hour.

Wow that's fantastic. Now someone make Missile Command.

Pegs my CPU though (Firefox and Chrome)

Open source too: http://github.com/dmcinnes/HTML5-Asteroids

update: I tried a few flash versions on the web to compare

sorry to say they use a fraction of the CPU, at least under Flash 10.1rc4

I assume this is to intentionally maximize the framerate. ("renice" is your friend if you have something more important to do in the background.)

Chrome / Mac didn't see any high CPU usage.
