The index value needs only be big enough to handle all defined terrain types. This is a low number so we can save memory by defining it as a byte. This particularly saves memory for the CustomTerrain field in the Map class, which defines a cell layer for the map using tile indexes, so we can reduce the size of that layer 4x as a result.
- Add separate ImmutablePalette and MutablePalette classes since the distinction is extremely important to HardwarePalette.
- Keep a cache of palettes in HardwarePalette to avoid reallocation them every time ApplyModifiers is called.
- Palettes that are not allowed to be modified are copied to the buffer once when added, rather than every time ApplyModifiers is called.
- The AdjustPalette method now takes a read-only dictionary to prevent the dictionary being messed with.
- Added a constant for the palette size to remove its usage as a magic number in several areas.
- The ColorPreviewManagerWidget is annoying in that it needs to actually permanently update a palette after it has been added. To allow this, HardwarePalette now allows a palette to be replaced after initialization. The WorldRenderer therefore now also updates the PaletteReference it created earlier with the new palette to prevent stale data being used elsewhere.
- Create single platform config named x86 and have all projects target x86.
- Remove Release config (broken anyway).
- For the Debug config, ensure TRACE and DEBUG constants are set and unsafe code is allowed for all projects (same as the makefile).
- Warn level 4 and optimizations off were removed from the config automatically by VS (it assumes these values by default, and these match the makefile).
- The CrashDialog project can reuse the icon from the Game project as long as the path is set correctly.
- Fix TS project so it builds (I know it's going but its annoying that the project must be unloaded).
- Implement IDisposable interface correctly, with sealed classes where possible for simplicity.
- Add using statement around undisposed local variables.
Method is now called ToDictionary.
- Cached a few invocations into locals which should prevent some redundant evaluation.
- Added ToDictionary overloads that take projection functions for the keys and elements, since several callsites were doing a subsequent Linq.ToDictionary call to get this.
- 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.
Create a single solution platform named x86.
Ensure both Debug and Release configs build to the root for all projects.
Ensure all Release configs generate pdbs.
- title bar shows tile position (x, y and tile nr (from left top))
- make 'overlays' button a toggle button and properly sync state with
tileset surface
- add export option for 'Template CellID <-> tile number' mapping
- overlay pen color is now white (todo: make configurable)
