What the hell? This feels like a relic from the 90's but it's talking about HTML5 and shit.

Yes, the spritesheet method originated in the 80's.

HTML5 is mentioned once: "HTML5 is NOT required"

But I could not find any references to excrement...

You're right about the scope of variables - I have old bad habits from other programming languages.

I used onclick instead of a loop to keep the code as short as possible.

I don't understand your comments about reflow or querySelector. Please provide a code snippet and explain why it's better.
