Spring has a problem with L2 cache misses

There is a nice discussion in IT world about general optimization (that big-O notation isn't about actual the program's real performance), see http://hacksoflife.blogspot.de/ . That blog pointed me also to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHNmRkzxHWs Bringing back that L2 cache missrate is the bigges...

Re: improved Healthbars widget

zk's uses a custom cache-based Spring.GetVisibleUnits, that's why original one doesn't include any itself (the widget itself is already big enough).

Re: smf_tools, alpha work

then you should emphasize that this is not a replacement for mapconvg and that people shouldn't release maps made by it.

1. increases filesize _a lot_ 2. loadtimes are increased a lot 3. runtime performance decreases a lot

Re: smf_tools, alpha work

* smf_tools takes tiles of varying sizes(as defined by a tilemap, or generates one), splits them up or joins pieces of them together as needed to form tiles of the desired size. its not a straight forward process. your code should consist of stages: * check input and bring it in the wanted form (re...

Re: smf_tools, alpha work

also do you run it threaded? 10mins for 8k^2 sounds really long, i.e. Spring converts dxt1 to etc1 on the fly in under <1min. on my pc it only takes 2 minutes. If it was as simple as re-encoding tiles I can see why its so fast, but my utility takes any tile based image and converts it into any othe...

Re: smf_tools, alpha work

tip: compare the uncompressed & the dxt tile, and run squish in high quality mode on those where it differs a lot

Re: Specular Tex issue

iirc spectex uses all channels of the RGBA.

RGB for the specular color & A for the reflection term.


edit: yes it does, see https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/d ... .glsl#L369

I'm not too sure I have my math 100% correct. but certainly the lower to regular sized maps don't see much improvement. it's not but what if you want a 64x64 sized map? ... (32*32)*1024 = ~1million tiles. tilemap (32*32)^2 = 1024^2 = ~33mb uncompressed -> 1M tiles each tile needs a uint32 of 4byte ...

Re: How does Spring make Deterministic Physics?

For my game, I'm making it deterministic by using double math. That's not deterministic. It just gives similar results as long as the _math_ is stable. But math doesn't have to be stable, minimal difference in the input numbers can give totally different output (-> chaos theory). Spring needs bit-l...
