  draw(tick)
  if (ended) {
    break
  }

API

rafIterator()

Returns an Async Iterator that can be used in a for await loop. Each iteration yields an incrementing tick integer. Iterations occur at the speed of requestAnimationFrame ticks, about 60fps.

breaking from the loop prevents further animation frame requests.
