.....Good gawd D=

Do not fear they are not real dolphins, just flat cardboard cut-outs

Still! XD

FIF!

U like dolphin? 5 dollah!

"My god... it's full of dolphins..."

your references alone keep me going, got to finish this game!

YEEESSSSS!!!!! > 8D

just imagine all the tasty fish

XD

60 fps with THAT much stuff on screen? o.O

Right?! We need computer spec's ASAP!

8 FPS at 100,000 dolphins

uh... the computer this was run on is 6 years old with a Athlon 64 x2 5400+, the slowest i7 out there pushes 5 times the processing power, I guess since its OpenGL the GT640 card is doing most of the work in this case despite java being inefficient (~3 times slower than native compiled C++ for this test) and this is not optimized at all, not using data-types efficiently, lots of casting, and no combining of shader instructions lots of state changes / begin / end calls and huge overhead from re-sizable array lists and byte code etc.

Programming speak <3 @.@
Actually just got done teaching some C++ basics to someone. Honestly if you're using Java that's still impressive :P

._.' X3

lol just messing around I did one with 100,000 and 1,000,000 wanted to compare it to GML before using it, it gives me a few times the performance advantage so it will suffice as a stand in for C# which is only a bit faster at some things anyway.

Ahh, I see, I see! Guess you are still using the normal GM right?
GM Studio has improved performancewise a huge lot too.
Anyways, will there be a million instances in the game? X3

Yes I have been using older version of GM, I am unwilling to pay money for the newer version because of a grudge with a licensing issue dispute with management. I have seen the Studio the only thing I was interested in was HTML 5.

The millions of instances is to get a more accurate load determination, so that I know it will run on less powerful systems under normal conditions. There will probably be at most 100 or so at a time.
