Mshe loves coding
Cyikes
Lso real
Canyways
Acan't forward it if you don't have one smh
Mtrue
KHmm... would I get an accurate reading of how much time is spent on my messy code if I used a stopwatch to measure around
window.DoUpdate and window.DoRender()?KOr is that a terrible idea for accuracy?
Myeah it's alright
Mstopwatch is HPT it'll work
L(not on all platforms)
Kcan also use the static methods on stopwatch but an instance is fine too
Mit's HPT on windows and linux users can FIGURE IT OUT THEMSELVES
Mit's open source CODE SOME DAMN TIMERS
Lthey did
Mi don't know what happens if you disable HPET
Lon (modern) linux its high accuracy too
K
Mthat should be more
KNot as much as I thought honestly, with how many string.format and stuff I shoved in there
Lcomputers are a lot faster than you think
Myeah
Mstring format takes nanoseconds
KYeah my brain is definitely still stuck in the 90s
Ldont worry it also kinda took nanoseconds in the 90s, computers were also really fast back then
Mthe thing that kills games nowadays is file i/o and GPU bottlenecks
Kthats why ssds are such a big deal
Mi mean, let's see, on a 386, it's maybe a few memcpy operations
Kor were when they first arrived anyway
Kfile io is a big deal as it turns out
KThat would explain why everyone is so obsessed with M.2 and gpu bus-width
Minteger to string probably takes a few cycles
Lthats why i load everything i need into memory on startup :^)
Mthe rimworld strat
Ai wish i could still do this
Ai have to balance between loading enough so that the game doesn't become a loading mess but not so much that it maxes out lower end systems' system + gpu memory
Mfor god's sake people use a game engine
Lim lucky my games dont need much, and everything of mine fits neatly into 80mb of ram
A4k textures be like
Kif i was actually working on real projects id probs use a real engine lol
KHonestly I would if Unreal actually implemented C# support
Kthough idk unity sucks ass
Mi am the biggest shill for Big Game Engine
Kand unreal cant do c#
Munity's actually mostly fine
Ki hate c++ too much for unreal and i hate running netframework too much for unity
Lall the big ones are memory hogs :^)
Munity uses a custom mono jit it's not net framework
A(my game does use 4k textures but it will rarely ever load them, only on the highest ultra settings)
KExcept for the part where you have to wait like 20+ seconds after you hit the play button cause it's doing god knows what with scripts
