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.
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.
In Mobile.cs IsMoving now has a public set as opposed to the initial internal.
Added IMoveInfo interface to go with *Info classes that require IMove.
WithRotor now uses IMove.IsMoving instead of (self.CenterPosition.Z > 0) as part of a check.
The dog will now always leap to the target
subcell (even if the target dies or moves),
and will kill whatever happens to be in the
target cell when it lands.
These can be used as a basis for a bunch of pathing optimizations.
- Feasability of movement can be precomputed for each class, avoiding
the worst-case pathfinding behavior
- A path could potentially be shared between all members of a class.
This isnt necessarily the best path for any single unit, as it
doesn't care about efficiency of movement across various terrain --
but it would be a "reasonable" path that the whole group could take
together.
- General pathing checks can be converted from intersection of sets of
strings to a simple AND.
- Other, wilder things.
V2: be paranoid about too-long bit vectors.
Implemented Harvester territory marking with a simple resource claim system in ResourceClaimLayer trait added to World.
Added customCost for PathSearch to support new Harvester search preferences.
Explicit delivery order forces harvester to always deliver to that refinery.
Explicit harvest order frees harvester from forced delivery refinery and allows for auto-balancing.
Harvesters auto-balance refinery choice such that no more than 3 harvesters are linked to any one refinery at a time.
Harvesters try very hard to not block the refinery dock location.
Harvesters try to avoid enemy territory when searching for resources.
Group-select harvest order intelligently disperses harvesters around the order location.
Fixed PathFinder caching to not be a sliding window. This is a correctness issue. Sliding window causes no-route paths to be cached permanently in tight move loops and doesn't allow eventual progress to be made. This may have negative performance implications.
