- Rewrite several methods to use Marshal.Copy to copy data faster and more succinctly compared to doing it manually.
- Rewrite Sheet.AsBitmap(TextureChannel, Palette) with a faster and more self descriptive loop.
- Implement IDisposable interface correctly, with sealed classes where possible for simplicity.
- Add using statement around undisposed local variables.
- Made private methods static where possible (runtime can elide checking the object for null).
- Declared attribute classes as sealed (allows reflection on attributes to complete faster).
- Moved some static cctor's into field initializers (static cctor's are slower than static field initializers).
- Made classes static if they contained only static methods (can't create instances of useless objects).
- Use inferable Exts.Lazy and not new Lazy<T>().
- Added required STAThread attribute to CrashDialog.
- Removed unused parameters in private methods.
- Added Serializable attribute to exceptions.
- Added parameter name in calls to ArgumentNullException.
- Use of as operator instead of is + cast.
- Changed (x as Foo).Bar anti-pattern into ((Foo)x).Bar. Results in sensible cast exceptions on error rather than null dereferences.
- Removed unused method in NullShader.
Targeted some methods that generated allocated a lot of memory in the main game loop:
- Actor.Render - Changed LINQ calls into equivalent loops. No allocation for delegates.
- Animation.Render - Returned an array rather than a yield expression. The array uses less memory than the complier generated enumerable.
- FrozenActor and FrozenUnderFog - Materialize the footprint into an array: The enumerable is not-trivial to evaluate is and evaluated many times inside the Tick function. The memory needed is minimal. Changed LINQ into equivalent loops to prevent delegate allocation. Should result in overall much faster calls.
- Widget.GetEventBounds - Changed LINQ calls into equivalent loops.
- MobileInfo.CanEnterCell - Changed LINQ calls into equivalent loops. Don't materialize list of blocking actors every time, instead enumerate them and only when they need to be checked.
- FrozenUnderFog.TickRender - Generate the renderables lazily and also remove a no-op Select call.
List of changes:
* Better and more filters with new layout, for both mods.
* Rename/Delete/Detele all functionality.
* Simplified ReplayMetadata class considerably by introducing a new
GameInformation data object. The new GameInformation class contains
more information than previously available so the new solution is not
compatible with old replays, meaning it can't read old replays.
* Better and cleaner game information gathering in order to be written
at the end of the replay file.
* Revert changes to ReplayConnection, no longer necessary.
* Better exception message on missing sprites and fonts.
* New "SpawnOccupant" class that holds all the information needed by the
MapPreviewWidget to visualize a spawn point. It was using Session.Client
before and it was necessary to separate it to be able to show information
not available at lobby time.
* Fix keyboard focus UI bug when closing a window would not remove focus.
Refactored the Rules and SequenceProvider classes to be parts of ModData and
maintain a cache of the instances used in the mod.
The caching reduced the load times a lot, especially after the first load.
Some lazy loading in sequences also helped lower the startup time..
Note: The static classes were left behind to redirect the existing code's
calls.
There is a strange issue that appears* when Theater calls
ISpriteFrame.Frames on the R8Reader. The R8Reader uses
IEnumerable.Cast<> which behaves slower and slower, which
makes map loading become 10+ times slower.
The changes here simply avoid the casting.
[*] This happens at least on Linux x86_64 with Mono 3.2.8.
