It seems even if I have a fastloop running in the background doing absolutely nothing, my game still lags when I get to upwards of 300+ iterations. Is there any way to alleviate this?
I should clarify that I'm using I think Nifflas' example on how to use a platform movement object for multiple objects at once, so I have to run a fastloop for each object constantly.
I read somewhere that for each loops are supposed to be faster.
Yeah they are because you can control how many for each loops iterations are created, but I'm making this for XNA in the end and I read ForEach isn't compatible with the XNA exporter.
As far as i heard, the ForEach should be made compatible with XNA ( after release of XNA ).Originally Posted by Corlen
If it isn't compatible now, it will be in the next version. No reason as to why it wouldn't be compatible asides from it just hasn't been done yet.
It's doing something.
See. It's doing something. What is it doing?I have to run a fastloop for each object constantly.
Yes. Figure out when you need it to fastloop, and then only fastloop when needed. I can almost guarantee you that you don't need to be running the fastloop at all times.Is there any way to alleviate this?
That's all good and well Konidias, but I meant even when the fastloop isn't applied to anything and is simply running in the background, it still slows the game down. I need to have the fastloop running constantly because I'm using Nifflas' example for the PMO to be applied to multiple objects.
At any rate, I'm just going to use ForEach and hope by the time I can buy the XNA exporter and release the game, the ForEach will be compatible with XNA. ForEach runs faster because I can force it to apply iterations only to objects on the screen rather than all objects in the entire frame.
Empty fast loops will not effect your framerate.
That's weird, I ran those 10,000 fastloops always and it was fine but when I run an empty fastloop in my current game, it slows it down after 300+ iterations.
Well, unless you feel like uploading your mfa, I guess this is a dead end.
