Stats.dart
This past weekend I attended the Silicon Valley incarnation of the Happy Hourglobal DART hackathon. On Friday night, there was a short presentation, pitches, and team formation. After dropping off one of my teammates at the Caltrain station, I was itching to code something in Dart as a ramp-up to the large amount of coding I knew I'd be doing on Saturday. I decided to port Stats.js to Dart.
Stat.js is a performance monitor that allows you to determine the frame rate and number of milliseconds it takes to render your scenes. It's a great tool to have when you are creating animations with Canvas2D or WebGL. Stats.dart is a more Dart-y version. It was completed in a couple hours on Friday night and Saturday morning thanks to Dart's familiarity.
To use it, instantiate a Stats object by calling new Stats() somewhere in your code and call the update() function in your render loop.

As this was a quick hack, I will probably be continually cleaning up some things.
