Bomberman massively multiplayer in HTML5

We need to stop excusing games being slow because they're written in HTML5. They are still behind Flash games from 10 years ago.

They’re really not. Go look at anything on (for example) Turbulenz ( https://turbulenz.com/ ) and that’s as good as anything Flash has done.

All it did was blow up my browser's RAM usage to 2GB and then deliver ~2fps.

IIRC Flash did better.

If by "better" you mean "blew up my browser's RAM usage to 2GB AND maxed out an entire core" then that's consistent with my flash experience (on 64-bit Linux, which I realise is not exactly a first-class citizen)

I agree complaints like this are currently valid in some respects, but the good thing is that feedback loops like this will eventually result in the same efficiency we come to expect from flash games on HTML5.

Eventually, but not any time soon.
