Thread: Is it possible to draw this simple map faster?

  1. #1

    Is it possible to draw this simple map faster?

    Hi folks,

    attached is a sample code where I draw a map of tiles. I wonder if I have a significant bottle neck here as I think it is damn slow.
    If not, then I will try to work with entities on it, but I'm not sure if entities work in 2D mode.

    Cheers
    Michael

    Mike,

    optimized version is in the works.

    The worst thing is that you set 2D rendering for EACH tile, better to:
    - set 2D mode
    - render all tiles
    - set 3D mode
    - render rest

    Plus some more tricks I am working on now, please wait


    Bye,

    Hi,

    here is optimization without entities ( in case you do not want to use them ),
    entity version in the works now

    Speed gain: 60FPS -> 100FPS on my box.

    Petr, I tried to download the file but it keeps telling me I am not authorized for this section. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Thanks
    Sandy


    Don't know what happened when I first tried to download but I tried again and got the file.

    I checked your permissions and they seem ok. If you can see attached files you should be able to download them.
    Seems a local problem. try to right-click attached file and choose "save as ...". It is a .tBasic extension file. Maybe some blocks on executing directly from the web page.

    Eros, I tried again and got the file without any trouble. Don't know what happened. It could be a glitch on my end as my server was down for a couple of day. They were putting in some new equipment and there's no telling when they will have their system settled down.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    here is entity version attached, again should be faster.

    One thing, but I know it is Your script Mike - if you will go the 2D route, it will be again resolution dependant. If you plan it 1024x768 only, then no problem.

    Second thing - you originally had V-Sync on, this might hurt performance in some cases ( as says help file :P ). On other side it provides more stable image. You might want to try "Gears Of War" way, where V-Sync is enabled/disabled in dependence on current framerate.


    Bye,

    My results:
    Original 100 fps

    Opti 1 150 fps

    Opti 2 175 fps

    All three ran fine, but this will be good code to study to see how done in different ways for sure. Thanks guys!
