- 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.
Automatically formatted all files via VS. This generally corrects indentation, removes trailing whitespace and corrects misplaced tabs or spaces. Manually tweaked a few files where required.
BitArray can store 256 bits in 32 bytes plus overhead (pointer & length),
which gives it better memory locality too (<= 2 locations in memory).
Also, the actual count will be much less, probably at most around a dozen.
This might not impact performance, but the AI is dumb & HashSet<byte> is
clearly inefficient.
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.
Changes included:
Decision can be defined for the AI support powers, governing their targeting.
Each decision can be made up of multiple considerations.
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.
