I coded a little simulation where you can dig cubes, they fall an stack, you can consume some or make a selection explode.
I started this little project for fun and my aim is to handle as much cubes as possible (100k would be a good start).
The project is simple, 3 possibles actions:
Dig cubes (2k each click)
Consume cubes (50 each click)
Explode cubes (click on two points to form a rectangle)
Currently, on my computer, performance starts to drop when I got about 20k cubes. When you select a large portion of cubes to explode, performance are heavily slowed down too. I'm not sure the way I simplified physics is the best way to go.
Could you give me some hints on how to improve/optimize it ?
Here is the complete code : (The stacking doesn't work in the SO snippet so here is the codepen version)

Using Sprites will always be faster than using Graphics (at least until v5 comes along!)
So I changed your cube creation function to
function cube(size) {
const sprite = new PIXI.Sprite(PIXI.Texture.WHITE);
sprite.tint = Math.random() * 0xFFFFFF;
sprite.width = sprite.height = size;
return sprite;
}
And that boosted the fps for myself
I'm having a bit of trouble making a progress graph. This is my first time using canvas so I'm a little new to the concept. This page is going to be a little prime number benchmark for an assignment at school. I haven't done the algorithm yet so right now that just counts up. I wanted to have a graph display the progress of the benchmark to the user so it doesn't look like the page has just frozen. I've broken the benchmark down into "sprints", where the device will calculate numbers for a set period of time and then update the graph. Problem is, the graph doesn't seem to update until the end of the "benchmark". Any recommendations?
The javascript is below (execBench is probably the most relevant function):
function startBench() {
// move to benchmark display
//showPage("bench");
jQuery.mobile.changePage("#bench");
setTimeout(
function () {
// run benchmark
var score = execBench(10);
//set score and move page
$(".result").text(score);
setTimeout(function () {
showPage("result");
}, 4000);
}, 2000);
}
function debugmsg(message) {
console.log(message);
}
function execBench(time) {
var graphUpdateRate = 2; // horizontal "resolution" of graph/sprint length in s
var sprintCount = Math.floor(time / graphUpdateRate);
debugmsg("Running " + sprintCount + " " + graphUpdateRate + "-second sprints");
var currentTime = new Date();
var sprintDeadline = currentTime;
var counter = 0; // "score" for the end, # of primes generated
var lastPrime = 0;
var record = []; // datapoints for graph
for (var i = 0; i < sprintCount; i++) {
// perform calculations
sprintDeadline = incrementDate(new Date(), graphUpdateRate);
while (currentTime < sprintDeadline) {
currentTime = Date.now();
lastPrime = generatePrime(lastPrime);
counter++;
}
// report progress
record.push(counter);
drawGraph(document.getElementById('progGraph'), record, sprintCount);
}
return counter;
}
function generatePrime(min) {
//placeholder for algorithm
min++;
return min;
}
function drawGraph(canvas, dataPoints, maxPoints) {
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var width = canvas.width;
var height = canvas.height;
var xIncrement = width / maxPoints;
var xBegin = 0;
var prevPoint = 0;
var yScale = -1 * height / Math.max(...dataPoints);
//reset canvas
canvas.width = canvas.width;
context.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
//move context to bottom right and set scale
context.translate(0, height);
context.scale(1, 1);
context.strokeStyle = "#ed1e79";
for (dataPoint in dataPoints) {
currentPoint = (dataPoints[dataPoint] * yScale);
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(xBegin, prevPoint);
context.lineTo(xBegin + xIncrement, currentPoint);
context.lineWidth = 3;
context.lineCap = 'round';
context.stroke();
prevPoint = currentPoint;
xBegin += xIncrement;
}
debugmsg(Math.max(...dataPoints));
return;
}
function incrementDate(date, seconds) {
return new Date(date.getTime() + (seconds * 1000));
}
As an example of using requestAnimationFrame(), you could try something like this.
function execBench(time) {
var graphUpdateRate = 2; // horizontal "resolution" of graph/sprint length in s
var sprintCount = Math.floor(time / graphUpdateRate);
debugmsg("Running " + sprintCount + " " + graphUpdateRate + "-second sprints");
var currentTime = new Date();
var sprintDeadline = currentTime;
var counter = 0; // "score" for the end, # of primes generated
var lastPrime = 0;
var record = []; // datapoints for graph
var i = 0;
(function drawSprint() {
// perform calculations
sprintDeadline = incrementDate(new Date(), graphUpdateRate);
while (currentTime < sprintDeadline) {
currentTime = Date.now();
lastPrime = generatePrime(lastPrime);
counter++;
}
// report progress
record.push(counter);
drawGraph(document.getElementById('progGraph'), record, sprintCount);
i++;
if (i < sprintCount) {
requestAnimationFrame(drawSprint);
}
})();
return counter;
}
Your while loop is "blocking". It eats up CPU, not allowing javascript and probably much else on the computer to do anything.
Instead, use setTimeout(fn, t) to schedule the next update.
setTimeout() is non blocking. Its fn will execute in a fresh event thread in t milliseonds time (or shortly thereafter).
Between setTimouts, your computer's processor will have the capacity to instruct the graphich card to render the canvas.
I'm creating a game, and in my game, when the HERO stay near the MONSTER, a gif will be showed, to scare the player. But I have no idea how to do this. I tried to put PHP or HTML code, but it doesn't works... The function is AtualizaTela2(). This is my main code:

var objContexto=null;
// Hero positioning control
var xHero=300;
var yHero=100;
// Monster positioning control
var xMonster=620;
var yMonster=0;
var imgFundo2 = new Image();
imgFundo2.src = "Images/Pista2.png";
var imgMonster = new Image();
imgMonster.src = "Images/Monster.png";
var imgHero = new Image();
imgHero.src = "Images/Hero.png";
function AtualizaTela2(){
if((xHero >= xMonster-10)&&(xHero <= xMonster + 10))
{
/*gif here*/
}
objContexto.drawImage(imgFundo2,0,0);
objContexto.drawImage(imgHero, xHero, yHero);
objContexto.drawImage(imgMonster, xMonster, yMonster);
function Iniciar(){
objCanvas = document.getElementById("meuCanvas");
objContexto = objCanvas.getContext("2d");
AtualizaTela2();
}
/* the function HeroMovement() and MonsterMovement() are not here */
}
</script>
</head>

This is the simplified code, because the real code is very big!
Thanks for the help! :)
Loading and playing GIF image to canvas.
Sorry answer exceeded size limit, had to remove much of the detailed code comments.
I am not going to go into details as the whole process is rather complicated.
The only way to get a GIF animated in canvas is to decode the GIF image in javascript. Luckily the format is not too complicated with data arranged in blocks that contain image size, color pallets, timing information, a comment field, and how frames are drawn.
Custom GIF load and player.
The example below contains an object called GIF that will create custom format GIF images from URLs that can play a GIF similar to how a video is played. You can also randomly access all GIF frames in any order.
There are many callbacks and options. There is basic usage information in comments and the code shows how to load the gif. There are functions to pause and play, seek(timeInSeconds) and seekFrame(frameNumber), properties to control playSpeed and much more. There are no shuttling events as access is immediate.
var myGif = GIF();
myGif.load("GIFurl.gif");
Once loaded
ctx.drawImage(myGif.image,0,0); // will draw the playing gif image
Or access the frames via the frames buffer
ctx.drawImage(myGif.frames[0].image,0,0); // draw frame 0 only.
Go to the bottom of the GIF object to see all the options with comments.
The GIF must be same domain or have CORS header
The gif in he demo is from wiki commons and contains 250+ frames, some low end devices will have trouble with this as each frame is converted to a full RGBA image making the loaded GIF significantly larger than the gif file size.
The demo
Loads the gif displaying the frames and frame count as loaded.
When loaded 100 particles each with random access frames playing at independent speeds and independent directions are displayed in the background.
The foreground image is the gif playing at the frame rate embedded in the file.
Code is as is, as an example only and NOT for commercial use.
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var myGif;
// Can not load gif cross domain unless it has CORS header
const gifURL = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a2/Wax_fire.gif";
// timeout just waits till script has been parsed and executed
// then starts loading a gif
setTimeout(()=>{
myGif = GIF(); // creates a new gif
myGif.onerror = function(e){
console.log("Gif loading error " + e.type);
}
myGif.load(gifURL);
},0);
// Function draws an image
function drawImage(image,x,y,scale,rot){
ctx.setTransform(scale,0,0,scale,x,y);
ctx.rotate(rot);
ctx.drawImage(image,-image.width / 2, -image.height / 2);
}
// helper functions
const rand = (min = 1, max = min + (min = 0)) => Math.random() * (max - min) + min;
const setOf =(c,C)=>{var a=[],i=0;while(i<c){a.push(C(i++))}return a};
const eachOf =(a,C)=>{var i=0;const l=a.length;while(i<l && C(a[i],i++,l)!==true);return i};
const mod = (v,m) => ((v % m) + m) % m;
// create 100 particles
const particles = setOf(100,() => {
return {
x : rand(innerWidth),
y : rand(innerHeight),
scale : rand(0.15, 0.5),
rot : rand(Math.PI * 2),
frame : 0,
frameRate : rand(-2,2),
dr : rand(-0.1,0.1),
dx : rand(-4,4),
dy : rand(-4,4),
};
});

function drawParticles(){
eachOf(particles, part => {
part.x += part.dx;
part.y += part.dy;
part.rot += part.dr;
part.frame += part.frameRate;
part.x = mod(part.x,innerWidth);
part.y = mod(part.y,innerHeight);
var frame = mod(part.frame ,myGif.frames.length) | 0;
drawImage(myGif.frames[frame].image,part.x,part.y,part.scale,part.rot);
});

NOTES
This works for 99% of gifs. Occasionally you will find a gif that does not play correctly. Reason: (I never bothered to find out). Fix: re-encode gif using modern encoder.
There are some minor inconsistencies that need fixing. In time I will provide a codePen example with ES6 and improved interface. Stay tuned.
Here ya go:
You will need to exctract each frames and make an array out of them
split frames: http://gifgifs.com/split/
easier if you have urls or path like http://lol.com/Img1.png ...... http://lol.com/Img27.png with which you can do a simple loop like this:
var Img = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 28; i++) {
Img[i] = new Image();
Img[i].src = "http://lol.com/Img"+i+".png";
}
function drawAnimatedImage(arr,x,y,angle,factor,changespeed) {
if (!factor) {
factor = 1;
}
if (!changespeed) {
changespeed = 1;
}
ctx.save();
ctx.translate(x, y);
ctx.rotate(angle * Math.PI / 180);
if (!!arr[Math.round(Date.now()/changespeed) % arr.length]) {
ctx.drawImage(arr[Math.round(Date.now()/changespeed) % arr.length], -(arr[Math.round(Date.now()/changespeed) % arr.length].width * factor / 2), -(arr[Math.round(Date.now()/changespeed) % arr.length].height * factor / 2), arr[Math.round(Date.now()/changespeed) % arr.length].width * factor, arr[Math.round(Date.now()/changespeed) % arr.length].height * factor);
}
ctx.restore();
}

var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

You can use Gify & gifuct-js projects on Github.
First, download your Animated gif and prepare the images you need to do this on page load.
var framesArray;
var currentFrame = 0;
var totalFrames = null;
var oReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
oReq.open("GET", "/myfile.gif", true);
oReq.responseType = "arraybuffer";
oReq.onload = function (oEvent) {
var arrayBuffer = oReq.response; // Note: not oReq.responseText
if(gify.isAnimated(arrayBuffer)){
var gif = new GIF(arrayBuffer);
framesArray = gif.decompressFrames(true);
totalFrames = framesArray.length;
}
};
oReq.send(null);
When you want your animation to show so in your draw loop
if((xHero >= xMonster-10)&&(xHero <= xMonster + 10)){
// you need to work out from your frame rate when you should increase current frame
// based on the framerate of the gif image using framesArray[currentFrame].delay
// auto-detect if we need to jump to the first frame in the loop
// as we gone through all the frames
currentFrame = currentFrame % totalFrames;
var frame = framesArray[currentFrame];
var x,y;
// get x posstion as an offset from xHero
// get y posstion as an offset from yHero
objContexto.putImageData(frame.patch,x,y);
}
Please note this code is not tested I built following the documentation of the 2 projects so it might be a little wrong but it shows roughly how it is possible,
the 3rd link is the online contents of the demo folder for the gitfuct-js library

It is not possible to simply draw a .gif (animated!) on the <canvas> element.
You have two options.
a) you can append the HTML with a <div> to which you append the .gif (via <img> node) and then layer the via z-Index and css top/left over the <canvas>, at the correct position. It will mess up with mouse events eventually tho, which can be solved by event propagation. I would consider this a poor mans solution.
b) You need to learn how to animate stuff. Look up window.requestAnimationFrame method. Doing so will allow you to animate on the <canvas>, which can emulate the .gif behavior you are looking for. It will however be a bit complex at your current level i think.
You can draw the .gif on the canvas like the above poster described. However, it will be 100 % static, like a .jpg or .png in that case, unless you manage to dissolve the .gif into its frames and still use the window.requestAnimationFrame method.
Basicly, if you want the animated behavior of a .gif, you will need to make major adjustments.
Simply draw your image on the canvas at whatever position you want to insert your gif. I'll assume you want to insert your gif in the canvas meuCanvas.
So:
if((xHero >= xMonster-10)&&(xHero <= xMonster + 10))
{
var ctx = document.getElementById('meuCanvas').getContext('2d');
var img = new Image();
img.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
};
img.src = 'http://media3.giphy.com/media/kEKcOWl8RMLde/giphy.gif';
}
I'm also not quite sure what your problem is, but instead of:
if((xHero >= xMonster-10)||(xHero <= xMonster + 10))
{
/*gif here*/
}
you probably want:
if (xHero >= xMonster-10 && xHero <= xMonster + 10)
{
/*gif here*/
}
|| means OR
&& means AND
In your code using OR makes the condition always true; that's probably not what you want.
