Description

some parts of the game are still churning GC... track down places where objects (or arrays or functions) are being created and thrown away and see if they can be reused.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Use browser profiling tools to identify high allocation code paths in the game loop. Look for object allocations in update/render functions and refactor to reuse objects.
