- 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.
Multiple layers of Lazy<T>ness are replaced with
an explicit two-part loading scheme.
Sequences are parsed immediately, without the need
for the sprite assets, and tell the SpriteCache
which frames they need. Use-cases that want the
actual sprites can then tell the SpriteCache to
load the frames and the sequences to resolve the
sprites.
Alpha can specify a single value for the sequence
or values for each frame in the sequence.
AlphaFade: True can be specified to linearly fade
to transparent over the length of the animation.
Specify pause function in constructors of Animation if required, and remove the unused pause function from AnimationWithOffset.
Cleanup Animation.cs and reduce code duplication.
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.
