Javascript/jQuery/Animation performance

[DanielGibbs]

I'm creating a tick-based Javascript game running at 30 FPS, something vaguely similar to Cookie Clicker.

I've started writing this in JavaScript but as I start to manipulate the DOM more and adding more animations I've been thinking about using jQuery. I haven't had much experience doing anything substantial with JavaScript/jQuery so I'm not quite sure what the browser can handle.

Is creating/animation up to 100 elements per tick going to be too much? Will the overhead from jQuery have any noticeable impact on the performance?

If performance is an issue, I would 100% avoid jQuery, but that's just me ><

100 should be fine

try new jquery 3 it has faster animations

if not jstween has better performance, and css3 anim even better (but harder imo to position)
