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.
Changes included:
Warhead code split out of weapon code and refactored.
Warhead functionality now split into several classes, each handling one effect/impact.
Additional custom warheads can now be defined and called via yaml.
Custom warheads inherit the abstract class Warhead,
which provides target check functions.
Custom warheads have to define their own impact functions,
and can also define their own replacement for check
functions.
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.
