This is very clever! I found out about the canvas composite modes far too late in an animated ASCII art project.

IMO, the canvas APIs are a little too esoteric for their own good. It’s almost like a stateful object, but all the commands are executed as side effects. Isn’t front end fun?

Please have a look at my project and let me know what you think! The source code is fully annotated for another brave soul who’s working with the dark arts of high performance canvas rendering.

The demo page is blank for me? (Firefox on Ubuntu, on a AMD laptop).
