"Machine is rendered entirely using the DOM. During early dev I was leery I’d reaching the end of my rope perf-wise. I expected I’d eventually ditch DOM rendering for PixiJS or canvas when it got too slow. However, I wanted to see how far I could take it ... I’ve heard comparisons drawn between modern browsers and game engines, with their tightly optimized GPU rendering and DOM / scene graph. The similarities have never felt more apt." The DOM might have become faster, but using the GPU directly via Pixi is still a world above in terms of performance and using Pixi could have made everything more smooth. But dev time was limited .. and the result is still impressive.
