Try making your own particle engine and a simple game running at 60fps. I guess "avoiding GC" is only a very small subset of memory management, but if you're a noob like me, it surely will open your eyes about some things you would never have guessed could cause problems.
- fixermark 11y agoJavaScript is a brutally poor target for that application space though. It'd be better to target Unity and their web plugin; that's designed to be a game engine.

- Tiktaalik 11y agoYou have to concern yourself with memory management in Unity.
