This implementation of Life uses the HTML5 Canvas and Web Worker APIs. By using Web Workers to perform the intensive calculations in the background, the thread running this browser tab remains fluid and responsive. At very high pixel counts, inevitable slowdown in the background iteration speed will not block events in the foreground.
