grid

Hey there

I'm working on a browser-game and I can't help but wonder about what's the lightest way to make the grid/board on which the game takes place.

Right now, as a mere sample, I'll show you this:

Now, as the grid gets bigger and bigger, the table and its td's create a very heavy filepage which in turn...sucks in more resources from the browser engine and computer.

So, is a table with td's the most lightweight way to craft a huge grid-like board or is there something lighter that you recommend?

Cheers Sotkra
