Agreed. If anything performance seems to be worse with the change from SVG graphics. Now when you zoom in inside a room the whole page stutters to a halt in chrome. I'm running an r9 280X and 3570k so those aren't the issue and this wasn't really a problem when SVG was in use.

The map view is also pretty bad with larger window sizes. Having the window set to 1440p, it takes about 5 seconds to load all the rooms in the map and just panning around is incredibly slow.

Strangely, firefox seems to have better performance at room level but worse at the map since it freezes the entire window until every room in view is loaded.

I don't like the idea of having to pay extra CPU, even if its a small amount, for a feature I won't need or use, an option to disable the 'feature' would be nice. The cost would be much larger if you store many keys in Memory vs if you had few keys. I would likely end up implementing my own parsing just to avoid it.

Game.map.findRoute tends to always work, but it isn't guaranteed.

PathFinder is the native library for pathfinding. (iirc) The default cost matrix is the same "cost matrix" used by findPath, meaning all objects that can block a creep are max path cost, swamps are more expensive than plain, and roads are 2x cheaper than road.

If you're building a custom CostMatrix, it's best to do the whole thing yourself than rely on some interleaving between the default matrix and your custom overlay.

findPath is the old pathfinder built entirely in js. It's good to get started with but not good if you want efficiency.

A lot of documentation is scattered, typically the best resource is your own experience. If you want a fast and very controllable path, only use PathFinder.

It gets really fun when you place a flag by hand in a room that has no active entities in it (enemy or friendly creeps). The flag gets added to your Game.flags object but you can't modify it in the code, which means if you try to change the color it fails to actually change the color even though setColor returns 0.

@black0441 does Memory get saved for you or are you losing it on the ticks where you trigger this? Are you getting an error when you call this?

@davaned It's been in the next six months for the last 2 years so take a timeline with a grain of salt.

The variance is fun, I think rooms like that have their place in the game.

I am getting an Account credentials are invalid error on PTR. This is happening my primary account (tedivm) as well as the LeagueOfAutomatedNations account.

Because it triggers the PVP action.

One way around this is to use the notifyWhenAttacked(false) function on any structures you are dismantling.

Unfortunately there is no API to get the market stats data. I handle this by storing a rolling average for each resource, with new "snapshots" of prices added to the rolling average every X ticks.
