Fading Out

It would be very appealing if each pendulum has an additional fade duration after which the drawn line disappears. Unfortunately, the things I tried out weren't satisfatory:

1. clear canvas and redraw everything which didn't fade out
   • very slow
2. clear canvas and redraw everything through bezierCurve in big steps (e.g. 45°)
   • a lot faster than 1. (still very unefficient)
   • redrawing doesn't result in the same image
3. fabric.js
   • tried with Polylines and with grouped Lines
   • both too slow
