4. Building structures

Building structures


  • I am always between 70-100+ for my cpu. Are people manually building structures to save cycles or are you programming everything? I am in the process of putting more things into memory and refactoring code. I was just curious ...


  • I just restructured everything to use less FIND functions and use the memory for more things, CPU load dropped significantly by it as far is I can currently tell.


  • Do not perform these tasks every tick, spread them out.
    Save the last Game.time a given task was performed for room into its memory, wait for an interval + room index (so they'll be staggered) before performing this task again.


  • Another way to save CPU usage is to store the values of the FIND functions into a temporary module. I went from 60~70% CPU usage to about 20~30% with this code:
    ```
    var roomData = {};
    Room.prototype.xFind = function(type, filter, sorter)
    {
    if(    roomData[type] == undefined)
    _roomData[type] = this.find(type);

    var back = _roomData[type];

if(filter != undefined)
{
    back = _.filter(back, filter);
}

if(sorter != undefined)
{
    back.sort(sorter);
}

return back;

    }
    ```
