window.requestAnimationFrame

Animating with requestAnimationFrame Since the interval parameter is irrelevant in complex animations, as there’s no guarantee that it will be honored, a new API has been designed: requestAnimationFrame. It’s simply a way to tell the browser “before drawing the next frame on the screen, execute this game logic/animation processing”. The browser is in charge of choosing the best moment to execute the code, which results in a more efficient use of resources[3].
