Optimization...? #4

Just a possible consideration. Chrome dev tools shows me wavering around 30FPS, but then again, I don't know if running dev tools could impact performance. My computer scored 11273 on Google Octane, so it's definitely not the most powerful machine, but then again; this is Pong... I personally think that this should be running faster, but I have no idea where to look first or what to try to improve, so I'm just throwing this idea up here for consideration.

Ok. One thing that can help us is a read out of the FPS. And my game library has that built in. I'll try to get that going tonight.

I just added a FPS display. Please let me know what kind of FPS your getting. Also is the ball slowing down during lag time. If so that is something else to address.

I made the ball move per second instead of per tick so it will move at a consistent speed no matter what the fps is.

Also some are two big to update a giant canvas full of graphics. So maybe eventually limiting that will help.
