- Replaced ModMetadata.AllMods with Game.Mods.
- Store / reference mod Manifest instead of ModMetadata.
- Removes engine dependency on ModContent class.
Caching the result of the function lookup allows the actor to calculate all the sync hashes for its syncable traits faster as it does not need to repeat the lookup each time.
Remove unnecessary delegate.
Use extension method syntax.
Fix HealthInfo.NotifyAppliedDamage’s desc.
Remove unused using directives.
Remove explicit type declaration in Manifest.
Introduced also a small Unit test project to prove it.
- Separated caching capabilities from PathFinder class to increase cohesion and maintainability.
Refactored the pathfinding algorithm by extracting methods based on responsibilities like
calculating costs and reordering functions. These changes should provide a in average a small increase in
pathfinding performance and maintainability.
- Optimized the pathfinder algorithm to reuse calculations like the
MovementCost and heuristics.
- Introduced base classes, IPathSearch and IPriorityQueue interfaces,
and restructured code to ease readability and testability
- Renamed the PathFinder related classes to more appropriate names. Made the
traits rely on the interface IPathfinder instead of concrete PathFinder
implementation.
- Massive performance improvements
- Solved error with harvesters' Heuristic
- Updated the heuristic to ease redability and adjustability. D can be
adjusted to offer best paths by decreasing and more performance by
increasing it
- Refactored the CellLayer<CellInfo> creation in its own Singleton class
- Extracted the graph abstraction onto an IGraph interface, making the
Pathfinder agnostic to the definition of world and terrain. This
abstraction can help in the future to be able to cache graphs for similar
classes and their costs, speeding up the pathfinder and being able to feed
the A* algorithm with different types of graphs like Hierarchical graphs
- Made Array.IndexOf available via extension method.
- Made ToHashSet extension method.
- Change collections queried often via Contains into sets.
- Avoid Count() extension if Count or Length property exist.
- Made Count() > 0 checks and variations calls to Any() instead.
- Don't call ToList/ToArray if there is no benefit to materializing the sequence.
- If the sequence does benefit from materialization, follow this general pattern:
- Collection queried often via Contains use ToHashSet to speed up lookups.
- Short lived variables use ToList. This is because ToArray requires an extra copy to output the final size.
- Collections persisted into fields or for a long time use ToArray to minimize memory overhead.
