This changeset is motivated by a simple concept - get rid of the MiniYaml.Clone and MiniYamlNode.Clone methods to avoid deep copying yaml trees during merging. MiniYaml becoming immutable allows the merge function to reuse existing yaml trees rather than cloning them, saving on memory and improving merge performance. On initial loading the YAML for all maps is processed, so this provides a small reduction in initial loading time.
The rest of the changeset is dealing with the change in the exposed API surface. Some With* helper methods are introduced to allow creating new YAML from existing YAML. Areas of code that generated small amounts of YAML are able to transition directly to the immutable model without too much ceremony. Some use cases are far less ergonomic even with these helper methods and so a MiniYamlBuilder is introduced to retain mutable creation functionality. This allows those areas to continue to use the old mutable structures. The main users are the update rules and linting capabilities.
When laying mine with PreLayDelay > 0, end activity's tick immediately. That means don't try to immediately move to next cell.
This change unifies the behavior with scenario when a mine is laid without any PreLayDelay.
- In FieldLoader, cache boxed bools and some boxed ints.
- In FieldLoader, presize collections when parsing a List, HashSet or Dictionary.
- In FieldLoader, don't allocate a list of missing items until required.
- In FieldLoader, when a string value is passed, avoid wrapping this in a MiniYaml object by allowing both strings and yaml to be passed in the GetValue overload that does the real work.
- In Animation, avoid allocating no-op actions.
- In VxlReader, use EnsureCapcity to better size the Dictionary.
- In VxlReader change VxlElement to a struct.
- In Locomotor, presize TerrainSpeeds dictionary.
- In RLEZerosCompression use dedicated Array.Clear method instead of open-coded loop.
- In VoxelLoader.GenerateSlicePlanes.Get use TryGetValue to avoid repeated array and dictionary lookups.
- In TmpTSLoader.UnpackTileData use ReadBytes to populate array with less overhead compared to repeated one byte reads.
- Resolve TODO in VqaVideo.
Provides two callbacks using INotifyMineLaying interface: MineLaying (just before laying a mine), MineLaid after mine actor has been created (in FrameEndTask)
