Incremental games are great - they can also be fun to write - but making one that's truly a keeper requires careful design. I've dropped too many games because they peg my PC or are throttled, and as a developer I know it's avoidable. So - let's discuss it!

Background tab throttling / document focus

One of the first things to keep in mind is that your game should behave differently if it is not in the foreground. Why? As a protective measure, web browsers limit the activity of background tabs:

Chrome budgets your CPU usage, and this can only be disabled globally

	[global]

	# For version 0.55 and beyond, you must explicitly enable
	# or disable authentication with "auth" entries in [global].

	auth cluster required = cephx
	auth service required = cephx
	auth client required = cephx

	[osd]

	#cloud-config

	hostname: boxboat

	rancher:
	network:
	interfaces:
	eth*:
	dhcp: true
	dns:
